Aim Trak question

(1/2) > >>

gman314:
I am thinking of installing the Aim Trak light gun module in my cab.  Now I know that the sensor bar can be installed behind glass, but will it still work if it is also installed behind a paper bezel?  I really do not want it to be visible.  It will not mesh well with the look of my cab.  Thanks.

I sliced slits in my cardboard bezel, then poked the LEDs through from behind. The LEDs aren't really noticeable, and the bezel hides the LED circuit board.

That's exactly what I did too. Here's my AimTrak thread. I put mine in a sega light phaser. You can see how I handled my LED bar with my bezel.

p.s. No jokes about my tiny screen :) I'm working on a  21" rotating monitor setup.

That is really cool how you modded the Sega Light Phaser with the Aim Trak.  Still though, my main concern is having glowing LEDs poking through my bezel.  I have a custom made vinyl bezel sandwiched in between a piece of plexi glass and a poster board.  I'm not saying that I won't go through with it, but it would pain me to have to cut holes into it.  I really hope that I could think of some way around it.  Will the gun absolutely not work if the LEDs are obstructed by the bezel?

Also, I could use some opinions concerning what the best lightgun is to mod.  In addition to actual performance, what gun is best physically suited to be dismantled and modified with the aim trak (in other words, what will give me the least headache).  The Sega and NES guns are great, but I'm probably shooting for something slightly more modern with a few additional buttons.  Thanks.

They don't glow.
