Title: Mini Photon Player Tracking Bar Installation
Post by: angryninjas on July 26, 2013, 07:46:13 PM
I got tired of swapping out my mini photon progressive meter in the top award sticker on the glass each time I changed kits, so I mounted it in the player tracking bar, similar to what some other members have done.  It wasn't bad, took me about half an hour with a dremel tool, a piece of red film, and a custom printed sticker.  Now I can swap kits freely and not worry about moving my meter.  The only part I don't like about it is that in a dimly lit room you can't see my sticker very well because it's not backlit like it was in the glass.  I took a pic from 10 feet away of the entire machine with the lights off, so you can see how you can't really see the sticker unless you are right in front of the machine (second pic.  Lights off during daytime, just ambient light coming in from the one window in the room).  Other than that, I love it.  Will make my life a lot easier. Here are the results:
