Since my business is now primarily home sales,
I do many trade shows in malls showing off our
reconditioned games.
Line up the hole with your mechanism. A quick
measuring ensures a perfect placement.
At a recent show, we had a Laser Star set up. A
customer said to us that it was a shame he could
not watch the mechanism work.
Here is the modification I did in ten minutes right
in front of this man's eyes!
TOOLS AND PARTS NEEDED:
1. Stanley Knife
2. Diagonal Pliers
3. Clear glue
4. Black stripping from around a
pinball backglass.

Cut a 6" hole in the white plastic mask on the lid
of your Laser Star with the Stanley knife.

Use the diagonal pliers to trim up the edges. Y 01
can't get perfectly straight edges, but the plastic
trim will hide all this roughness.

The result is amazing! People love to watch the
mech work, and it can only help the cashbox.
Fit the pieces in the opening. Remember to cut
your pieces so they cover all parts of the white
plastic you cut. Once the pieces fit well.,_ remove
them and apply clear glue to the inside of the
strips and put back together one final time.
Be sure to cover the two meters, located next to
the mech, with electrical tape to keep your
numbers private.
