Installation Key:
Easy: Kits that require one connection to the game and that don’t involve more than 10 minutes installation time
Moderate: Kits that require only one connection but require a bit more time to install due to their design.
Advanced: Kits that require you to lift the playfield and find specific connection points. Typically these kits use alligator clips and therefore require you to find a specific flasher and the positive/negative. Again, not super difficult but does require more knowledge.
Price Key:
$ less than $70
$$ $70-149
$$$ greater than $150
