Hi All,

Excuse the generic title, I don't have a theme or anything else to hook you in yet!
I'm Craig, I've been running my own YouTube channel for a few years working on retro console mods and repairs.
I'm kicking off my homebrew pinball machine build, everything pretty much from 0 knowledge and learning as I go along.
I'll be going through everything from my choice of hardware through to the theme, layout through to no doubt the issues I have with the build on my YouTube channel and will post here throughout also.

I'm pretty much a pinball n00b so this is going to be a big build for me, I've done technincal builds and have experience in hardware and software so I'm pretty confident I can get through this, but will no doubt need help along the way.

Please feel free to input any lines of support, help or criticism (I can take it) along the way.

Thanks,

Craig (Goodwins Place)

Thank you for the support, I know I've got a massive task ahead and really looking forward to the challenge.

Just posted an update on my YouTube channel.

A bit of progress mainly finding out what I like and dislike in a game from playing as many as I could at Pinfest.

A bit of an update on some parts bought, further video to come on that, and some info on a PCB order too.

Lots to get moving on now.

New video up and I'd really like support of anyone that has a YouTube account to vote on the theme selection, I've narrowed it down to 4 themes:
- Short Circuit
- Gremlins
- Labyrinth
- Echddoe (custom theme)

I'm getting people to comment on my video but happy if people comment here too as I can count them in to the total.

My latest in my pinball build, the drama around trying to store a cabinet that I picked up.
Voting on my theme closes tomorrow so that will give me some real direction on a few items I can work on remote whilst working away over next few weeks.

And the theme is...

Massive thank you to PinballDaze for having me over to raid his workshop, some great bits in here.
Bought some extra parts on Pinball Heaven.
And a quick trip to B&Q to get my first white wood!!! Getting real now.

WODKA it's been slow on the updates but lots been going on both pinball build and life in general.
Will do a full update on this soon as picked up more parts and I'm almost at the point of no return where I need to start making things work on a playfield (wish me luck).

Some pics of the Open Pinball Project OPP boards I've been building, need to order a couple of parts but looking good so far.

Ok, been a while since the last update and there was lots to cover.
Main reason is I needed a break after snapping one of the connectors and needed to get away from it for a few days.
Glad I went back as I've done a few bits now and will update again soon.

Thank you. Slow progress but glad you're enjoying the updates.

Another update already.... Surely not.

Just a quick one with my first flip of a ball, my reaction and a quick view of the power supply and OPP filter board.
