I want a Gottlieb Gemini. I obviously can’t afford one. Would it be at all possible to make a poor man’s version affordably out of a couple parts games?

I imagine the biggest challenge might be the playfield. I could have a translite made for the backglass.

Would it be stupid to try?

For me - the factor is cost, not time. I’ve got all the time in the world. This is something I’m going to seriously ponder.

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

You would need a Gemini playfield.
No one is doing a reproduction right now.
You would need to find a used playfield.
A used one cannot be found unless you find the machine.
The machine costs $7000.00.
Reality, Now your back to saving your money for one.

I’d be cool with a white wood if I could replicate the holes. My Alien Star is “white wood.”
