So I'm trying to get physical measurements to replicate the bottom portion of a Steve Ritchie style pinball table. Since I'm initially planning on doing it in Future Pinball, then moving to the physical world, I think I have a couple of options.

1. Take another Future Pinball table and figure out the location of each of the posts, slingshots, etc and calculate physical locations from that. There is a Spider-Man ultra version 1.09 that seemed like it might be suitable on pinsimdb (http://www.pinsimdb.org/pinball/table-2341-spider-man_ultra).
2. I have a high resolution (600 dpi) scan of a Monster Bash playfield. I could use that image to calculate the locations of things, but that is a Gomez design. Is it any different than the design that Steve Ritchie typically uses?
3. I have a couple other playfields that are not Ritchie designs, and use those as a basis. (I have a Camelot and a Shaq Attaq which I could easily scan at 600 dpi). Both of these playfields are far from Ritchie designs, so I think this option stinks.
4. Find somebody who knows the measurements from a certain point on the playfield and simply lists them. (Wow, that would be amazing and I would be forever indebted to that person). Hey, it might happen.

What are people's opinions on the best way to go here? Eventually I'm going to turn it into a wide body so it is going to be heavily modified, but I want to start with a good base.

I'm also wondering what the major angles for shots using this flipper arrangement. This makes me think I should use the Monster Bash playfield scan because I can simply measure all the angles for shots since I have the whole playfield and I just have to draw some lines. I've only played Monster Bash a couple of times, but it seemed to be one of the more flowy games even though it is Gomez, not Ritchie.

Looks like I'll just take the measurements off MB since I have the scan available. Large scans like that can move things a couple millimeters this way or that, but it should be pretty darn close. BorgDog After that, I will try to do a comparison with what is up on pinball makers site. I guess that I should have looked there first, but my quick text search of the site a couple weeks back didn't yield anything. I didn't look in the files section so thanks for pointing that out to me. Since I'm eventually hoping to change this stuff down into GCodes, I'm going to need either relative or absolute positions of every hole in the playfield so I have to do the work anyway.

On the Steve Ritchie thing, it has been reported to me that it is basically a stamped out design, no changes between pins. (That probably doesn't go all the way back to High Speed, but who knows?) Again it has been reported that he said if it works so well, why would he change it. Thanks for the input!
