Quoted from Mathazar:

Full disclosure....she doesn't know, lol. I'm using the rarely-used dishwasher in the rec room wet bar at night after the family has gone to bed. Shhhhhhh.....
But yes, I do have an understanding wife for her to put up with my pin hobby (obsession!).

I’d get killed if found out too. Very tempting though…..

This should look great when done. Im a big Bally fan and will get one of these one day.

Quoted from Mathazar:

I gotta tell you, tho - the Over the Top buzzer is LOUD. Extremely LOUD. And it goes on for several seconds. So loud that the first time it went off, my wife came running from another room, two floors away (our pin area is in the basement rec room) worried that I broke something and maybe caused a fire.
I made a deal with her and the rest of the family - once I get it working correctly (and now it is), I'm going to add a small toggle switch to the tilt board (where the buzzer is located) so that I can disable it when they're around. Guess I gotta do that, now.

You are not the first person that has stated this type of story with the buzzer. I get an arcade was loud and had to be heard. Too much for home use eh?

And well deserved Mathazar! Came out beautiful top to bottom. You put a lot of time and effort into that pin and it shows.

EM appeal isn't gone...it's just covered in dirt
