I hope you mentioned you got word of the sale from WAYNE at PINBALLISNOTDEAD.COM.... I just spent $400 at cointaker, so perhaps some good karma will come to all of us for bringing in some sales from MAACA!

Non-polarized equals having a rectifier (or at least 2 LEDs back to back). The No Flix Plus from Germany also include a capacitor so that the LED remains energized during the voltage drop between AC cycles (or if it's a half wave posing as DC). I went all out on COintaker due to the pricing differential this time, and the Cointaker Supers are close to the Noflix Plus, we;ll see if they stand up under all the flicker conditions (I think they might flicker when WPC's reduce the attract brightness...) - but I will report more after I've done a couple machines.

Basically what I thought, and what Chris confirmed with his phone call. Thank you both.

ok something WAY FVCKING COOL just happened to me!
I asked the same above question on polarized vs non-polarized LEDs on the cointaker website. 20 min later, my phone rings... it is Chris from Cointaker!
Chris PERSONALLY called me back to explain the difference in between his 2 products!
To me this is "above and beyond", something you do not get much in today's day and age. Needles to say I am putting in my order.
thanks Chris for being a wicked business man. You are the 2nd I have met in the pinball supply industry. You and Terry form Pinball Life are STAND UP and are a huge asset to this hobby.
I second all of the above.
I bought a super kit from Chris and got an amazing deal. I just could not resist the savings!
Chris called me and we spoke for a bit, he even has some LEDs to replace home residential light bulbs, but no PAR 20's.
Just ordered ~$130 worth last night. Enough to completely do Getaway and some blinkers for TZ.
