Stern Pinball
Ghostbusters (GB)
Containment Mod
for Pro Level Machines
Thank you for your support and I hope you will enjoy this mod for many years to come. This is a
KIT manual as you basically purchase the parts and assembly yourself - which is very easy to do.
Please note that this manual is based off the v1 of the mod and the Shapeways parts are actually
v2 in which the face of the cabinet was improved as well as the lighting mounting improved so the
manual will be a combination of photos and 3d models. Also ignore the colours of the domes as
in real life the colours are not as washed out as per the photos shown.

Take the individual bulb domes and install in the top of the containment unit and drop a dab of superglue or hot glue to ensure they stay in place. Note 4: v2 of the mod will not have a pin there it will have a hole where a screw is installed to hold all the parts (Stern’s LED Boards).

Note 7: Ensure to keep the bolts that hold the LED boards in place as well as the plastic incase you want to return the game back to it’s original state.
- Page 15 Now to install the LED lens and LED Boards into the Containment Mod as per the below 3D Model image as this will be your version of mod which is different to my original v1 design in which that design had a slight issue to installing these parts over a pin. In the v2 the lens and boards are locked into place with the components from the original plastic.
- Page 16 You will notice a recess for an extra LED board that you can install a small Comet Star Post LED board to add extra lighting if desired and connect to a feature globe for extra effect. Use a dab of hot glue to hold the board in place. Using this feature is up to you in what to link it to.
- Page 17 6. Installing the Containment Unit to the Mod Base Connect your wiring of the 2 x LED boards and then locate your containment mod over the bracket. Then take the pin and drop it through the hole and twist 90 degrees to lock the mod into place.
