LED Displays That Look Like Plasma Displays!
Tired of LED displays not looking like plasmas? We were too! Our custom LED digits were manufactured to come as close as you can get to replicating the look of plasma displays. In fact, what we did comes so close to matching the look of plasma displays that you can practically mix-and-match these LED displays with original plasma displays and have a hard time telling the difference. That's not something that LED displays are typically known for & we were pretty happy to replicate the look that well!Custom Digits That Set The Bar HIGHER!
Our displays use custom digits (the digits are stamped "PINITECH"). They're not generic digits with comma or even tweaked versions of existing digit designs. We built them ground-up, meticulously crafting the design of the LED digits to match the best characteristics of actual plasma glass Bally/Stern were using in their games in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Font height, angle and other characteristics were adjusted to match REAL plasma glass used on original Bally/Stern displays. It's our own bit of "secret sauce" unique to our displays that make them stand out from the herd.Quality That Gets Noticed
It's not just the custom digits that make our displays special. We spent extensive time during the initial development of our displays testing the circuits to ensure long life and minimal stress on components and your machine. We've had quite a few customers compare our displays to some name brand displays that have been on the market for over a decade & tell us they like our displays better. Some of these customers are using these displays in their arcades that operate 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week. One arcade operator reported to us that after several years our displays still functioned like new, while some displays from another manufacturer had digits that had faded in that same time. It's really not surprising to hear of issues with other displays on the market, considering some designs are pushing components beyond their limits for a minimal gain in brightness and just aren't built to last. It's unfortunate because the customer can't tell the difference between a good electrical design or a bad design, but they pay the price down the road when the display stops functioning correctly. If a display only last a few years before having issues, it's no better than LED bulbs claiming 10+ year life expectancy that have to be replaced 6-12 months later. Not all displays are built-to-last. Pinitech displays were designed to put minimal stress on components so they last a long time.

Why Upgrade Your Displays To LED?
No restoration is complete without a brand new set of LED displays! Upgrading to LED displays will breathe new life into the machine, making it feel more modern and bringing back the uniformity and crispness of a matching set of displays like when the machine was new. Think about it.. where are your eyes drawn on a machine? The backglass. The playfield. And THE DISPLAYS! Having out-gassing, half-dead or mismatched displays can be very visually distracting when trying to enjoy your game. We've heard people say "Only one or two of my plasma displays have issues, I'll just wait till the rest kick the bucket and then upgrade." Makes sense, right? Except while you're waiting for other displays to go bad, you're having to look at displays that DO have issues and that can be pretty distracting when playing your game. Those display issues also tend to stick out like a sore thumb when the games are in attract mode, in an otherwise beautiful line-up of Classic Bally/Stern games. What if you can upgrade NOW, solve your display issues and actually gain something in the process? That's what happens when you upgrade to a full set of LED displays. You instantly free up any of the original working plasma displays that can be used in another game or sold to recoup costs of upgrading to an LED display set. If you go with a DIY Kit, you'll save even more money! Once you've seen a NEW matching set of displays in your game, you'll wonder why you didn't upgrade sooner!Pinitech Traditional Design
If you hadn't noticed, we have two models of LED displays available for Bally/Stern games. The Pinitech TRADITIONAL design is a standard 2-board design (led panel + component board) for people that like the original design of the displays that slide in and out of the display holders in the game. Hence why we called it "TRADITIONAL". If you don't mind trying something a little different, you might want to check out the Pinitech UNO that will not only save you a few bucks, but also offers some other unique advantages! These are great looking, energy-efficient LED displays! Available in ORANGE, RED, BLUE or WHITE digits.WHITE allows for unlimited color choices using color filters that adhere to the LED digits.
