Step 2: Unmounting The Existing Backboard CAUTION: Y ou will be powering components of this mod with the game’s service outlet (if available) which contains live AC voltages. You must power off and unplug the game prior to installing this mod. The existing backboard in WPC machines is secured to the playfield via five phillips head wood screws at the back underneath the playfield.

Step 3: Install Backboard Mounting Brackets & Power As opposed to the 5 screws that drill into the backboard through the playfield, we’ve simplified the process by using two angle (L) brackets to secure the backboard to the playfield using the existing screw holes.
Page 20
2. Use 2 of the ½” #10 pan-head phillips wood screws to secure the L brackets to the far left and far right holes as shown below. The slotted end of the bracket should be on the bottom side of the playfield. Do not overtighten the bracket screws! Note: ...
Page 21
3. With the brackets secured, it is time to install the DC power supply. Plug the included power supply into the game’s service outlet as shown below. If no service outlet is available, an external outlet will need to be used. 4.

Step 4: Install the Backboard Display 1. Lower the playfield into the lower service position (down, but resting on the front of the cabinet)
Page 23
2. You should see the brackets as shown below...
Page 24
3. Gently lower and rest the backboard display against the brackets as shown below.
Page 25
4. Check to make sure the alignment of the board is centered from the cabinet walls. With an electric screwdriver with either a ¼” nut driver bit or a flat head bit, drive both screws into the rear of the display panel via the top hole of the mounting bracket.
Page 26
5. Check the alignment of the display. Slight adjustments can be made by slightly loosening the screws on the L brackets beneath the playfield. Afterward, connect the HDMI cable and the male DC power cable that you dropped into the cabinet from the backbox in previous steps. These connectors are all the way to the right on the board behind the display.

6. Gently slide the playfield back into the cabinet and check the alignment again. If everything is good, proceed to power the game on!
