I´m planning to build -reconstruct- whole pinball from scratch. I am happy to have skills, tools and workshop to craft wood, metal and electronics. I own one pinball which I have examined.

There is lot of photos of those expensive classics such as MM or CC, but I would like to make sure which are actual dimensions for that blank MM plywood playfield? Is it 46 inches or 45.. 42??
Or if plywood is not standard, what is distance from left flipper shaft to upper bumper center..?

If I make half inch error, experienced player will notice it immediately..

Thank you

Yes!
This may become epic fail, but so far I´m gonna have fun trying! some people like crosswords, others are watching olympics, I like to sit and plan pinball. Ok, I watch a bit olympics too..

Lets break this a bit down,
there is
-cabinet+PF
-mechanics
-Electronics

-Cabinet is least problem, I do woodwork and painting no problem. Also I can draw, route and paint by hand whole playfield.
-Mechanics, I´m gonna search used parts, some I will buy, and when needed I can make brackets and other metal by myself. That castle in MM - well it´s also buyable, but some parts are also craftable. Remember, MM uses same parts as "Pinto"..
-Electronics. This is so far hardest part. MM uses Williams system WPC-95 which I hope to find somewhere affordable, changing EPROM to MM. Other solutions are P-ROC controller which can simulate many platforms. There is possibilities out there, but so far this unclear yet. Hope to get help from this (best-)pinball site.

PinBallMikeD, thanks for dimensions. Toyotaboy, that video was hilarious!
Here is couple of starting pics. Will not be final installation, but I wanted to test a bit..
That transparent sheet was printed from MM manual(pdf), found from ipbd.

Let´s get drawing!

Not apron, its printed out from pdf-manual which can be found ipbd.org. I suppose -or actually hope- that it´s in scale. At least it fits nicely on the plywood which I sawed to 46" x 20,25"
I also checked visual pinball, but some reason I don´t trust it. I feel that may be fixed to editor limits, but I dont know.

I try to found real MM, so I will measure some playfield elements, for example distance from left flipper shaft to upper most bumper center. That way I can make sure about the scale.

Thanks for the responses
