Ambitious!

How are you Cadding the playfield? Do you have a used one to measure off of and inputting that? Are you going to clear it yourself? I’d have to agree with other opinions, it makes so much sense to just buy a new complete playfield.SO much time to cad it, do art, pay for wood, vinyl print, clearing, and SO much opportunity to screw stuff up that it seems better to concentrate on other aspects and leave that one alone?

Are you also building a wire harness?

This sounds like ALOT, alongside another homebrew project holy crap. I’m 3 years Or so in on one and can’t imagine doing 2 at the same time. Good luck!!!

So just for shits and giggles / posterity, how long do you think this will take you to complete and how much money do you estimate? It will be fun to compare down the road

$2500 would be amazing. I’m so far beyond that with my homebrew right now, it’s crazy how little things add up (on top of the big things). But a year + couple months to build and code it will be impressive. Hope it goes according to plan- Best luck 2 u!

Quoted from WizardPinball:

Mbecker I hear you. I may go over or not (budget wise)....not sure yet. I had some old parts from another game we are using to start with (from an old fireball that I bought without the head) so....there's some savings (lockdown bar, flippers, etc) I'll upgrade them later once we are on the final game....but for now ....they should work fine for a white wood and testing. I'll see if your build is on here....be fun to see it!

Sounds like you have done well with used parts and such So far which is awesome. Hopefully you can get a harness because wiring is a pain.

I’m on here, yeah. Fight club homebrew. I prob post too many details at times but have backed off a bit. Here’s where I’m at so far:
