It installs easily and really makes that game more exciting, thank you for putting these together and making them available.

The kit had everything you could ever need for this install. He even included a kit of jewlers screwdrivers and a roll of electrical tape! :)

The directions were absolutely spot on and even included the fact that the lock washer on one of the mounting screws would probably need to be removed to fit better. Cool.

It took me about an hour and a half to 2 hours. The only problem I had was two of the LED's had broken their solder joint. I quickly touched them with an iron and all was good (shipping can be rough even when packaging is perfectly suitable.

It is rare you get a kit like this and everything is there, the directions are spot on, and the thing actually works!! Thank you for a very well thought-out addition to my game.

Bill, is there any chance you might start writing install directions for children's toys? So many parents would thank you on Christmas Eve!! ;)

The kit kicks ass and the design is super well done!!!

Bill has great customer service, email him and he does respond.

He includes everything you will need for the job even tossed in tape, and mini screw drivers to name a couple of items..

The board is a-1 first class it's not cheesy, in fact it's much nicer than alot of aftermarket items I have seen over the years.

I have been involved in some aftermarket products for vids, and I know how difficult it is to make a nice product, support it, and keep everyone happy all at the same time.

at the price he is selling them for he is giving them away!

Seriously I can't see anything negative on this product.

Very nicely done Bill!

The kit is bug free and working as said it would when it arrived, too bad it took me 2 weeks after christmas to get it installed.

So far I've had pretty positive comments from the people that have seen it. The only reservation I heard is in regard to the price, I guess my thought on that is you really have to consider what is involved in this kit before you dismiss it on that account. The guy developed a custom PCB that mounts into the existing game with no permanent modifications, running a custom program, etc. This is not just lights that are Y split off of an existing circuit (not knocking those mods, I have several on other games and they are great as well).

And the guy even returned my call on the one question that I had on a Saturday night, you can't get better customer service than that!

And the BEST thing about the AFM-LED kit???? -- It makes you play great! I've owned my AFM for longer than I care to admit and have never Ruled the Universe - until tonight! I got it just after installing the mod (and no, I didn't ease up on the settings!). I damn near got it again too, but drained the last two balls ....

Like others, I hesitated on installing Bill's mod, because of the price, and the installation. Boy, am I glad I went through with the update!

This mod is unlike any other. Bill's mod takes the small saucers and makes them look 'finished', as the way they should have come from the factory. I almost could not believe how 'cheap' the saucers look without the mod. I had the opportunity to see Bill's mod installed in John White's AFM, before ordering, and right then and there I knew this kit was meant for every AFM.

I recommend to anyone, that wants to add a "wow" factor, to their AFM, they should rush to get one of Bill's mods, if they still can.

Funny thing, was I started out by installing your kit and quickly found myself fixing minor things or cleaning things that were long over due... so the few hours turned into a few more then that... but AFM looks and plays great!

Great mod Bill. Look forward to your next creation.

An AFM looks naked without your kit. Job well done!

Im not big on tons of mods, to borrow a quote from RGP, I dont want a pimped out Impala driven by some *******. Im also not a purist and will do things to improve function and that improve the looks, IMHO. Your kits most definitely fit in the design of the game. While I thought they would add to the looks of the games, my purchase was influenced by all the great feedback youve gotten about being well designed, documented, etc. Nothing to say but I concur with all Ive read, no need for a repeat.

Thanks again, great product, and the end result with how it looks in the game is awesome!

Incredible piece of work, much more than a few LEDS on some wires.

I cut my hand (10 stitches) and can't use it for ten days and it is killing me not to install this and see how it looks.

I will use the U5 tip and send you some pics when I get it done.

Thanks for doing this for all us pinnuts that could never figure out anything like this.

Thanks very much for contributing this king of mods to the Pinball scene. As my 3-year-old said when he saw it, "It's beautiful!"

What I experienced was my mini saucers were extremely slippery, as if they were made of Teflon or some plastic that is naturally slick. The problem was every time I would arrange and insert the LED's into the holes around the dome they would literally fall right out. The combination of the tension from the wires and leads of the LED's just made this job almost impossible. Plus it seemed the holes in the saucers were too big, yet all six of them were identical

After many long frustrating hours (like about 3) I managed to form & then hot glue the LED's in place. This worked even though the hot glue didn't stick to the saucers very well either. The rest of the installation was a breeze and the final effect was awesome.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into this type of problem or do you think maybe my AFM has some strange mini saucer replacements that are not exactly like the originals ? No bad intent towards your mod, I love it and am very satisfied. I guess I'm hoping others haven't had the same problems with installing the LED's.

Played my first game after i installed the kits, and got to super-jets and Strobe multiball, and everything worked like a dream!
