You are going to have a LOT of challenges with seemingly simple parts like ball guides. My TAF that I did a playfield swap was missing a very small ball guide. Completely unobtanium. Luckily Marco finally got some in stock. 90 days later. Have you priced a bookcase motor / assembly? This thing is going to be a money pit.

So this is your first pinball project??

I know about 20 people have already tried to warn you, but this is a REALLY bad idea to take on as a first pinball project. You are going to pay 3X what a decent game would cost to build one from stretch.

Building a TAF wire harness from scratch? I don’t know of many pinball guys with 20 years of experience that would be willing to take this on.

I appreciate your ambition, but this one is going to be very ugly.

Quoted from FrankJ:

Time for a poll: what will happen first? Shredder finishes or Chicago Gaming builds remakes.

Funny you mention this.... It is actually a legit rumor.

Quoted from yellowghost:

I admire this guy for trying but I believe it won't end well.

I have to agree. All of the folks that have done "scratch builds" didn't do them as their first foray into pinball. I want you to succeed and accomplish this, but the video you posted to show your technical prowess with you cutting on a roller cart was certainly not convincing.

Quoted from Shredder565:

1- that wasn't me cutting
2- that wasn't meant to be a professional build. just a fun side project.
And even with that, the project still came out just as I hoped it would and got years of use out of it until arcade 1up came along...

Fair enough. Good luck!
