Vader MPP bubble mounting

Jedi Reali · Mar 27, 2017

Can someone post photos with a blue Slothfurnace board installed? I'm curious how it looks under the bubbles. I've been in the blue board camp because of this photo:

Also it would seem that the board was not cut parallel to the gold lines and LEDs, and the holes are not centered beneath the bubbles. Here I've highlighted what I'm seeing in red:

This casino photo shows it as well:

Again, highlighted in red:

Also, a correction for Sym-Cha... In post #22 you credit d3po2u with photos I took.

But you also have to factor in the angle at which the photos were taken and the distortion created by the bubble lenses. The only way to say with absolute certainty would be a photo taken straight down on it.

My card does the same thing.
Despite being cut perfectly straight, the upper section tends to lean to the left when the clamp lever is pushed down.
See images i posted earlier.

Jedi Reali, do you still think blue after seeing it in person?

Ahh, I see what you're sayin. I thought because the angle is so pronounced and consistent between those two photos... And the one is pretty straight on. But your probably right.

I can't remember, and it seems I didn't make a written note of it. It may have been hard to tell. The display was in a dark corner, with no light on it whatsoever. :unsure

I think the guy who owns the Prop Store owns it now.

Is he someone easy to contact? Seems it would be a simple mystery to solve.

Filandrius · Mar 28, 2017

Indeed. Even if those pics certainly make the board look like it's blue, a simple confirmation of the color would solve this once and for all.

Djblingbling1 · Mar 28, 2017

Well, email sent to them, lets see if they get back to me!

roygilsing · Mar 28, 2017

He will probably say "it's kind of blueish green".

DARTH SABER · Mar 28, 2017

I sent an email as well about 4 hours ago.

Now hes gonna get annoyed by all the emails. Lol

It does look blueish green. Another reason why I lean towards it being a blue board. The green boards seem to look too green to me.

I might be biased, but blue with green soldermask looks the part to me. It really changes depending on the color of the light you're looking at it under.

I seriously thought it was green for years. I finally decided to toss it in my Vader, and surprise surprise it was green... and blue.

Agreed on the light issue.

Color temperature can drastically change the apparent color of objects.

I contacted propstore about something else, no reply, maybe I tried the wrong guy?!
Roy did you get some replies from them in the past?
