I have an opertunity to buy a junk cab that is missing all the boards and has a shot playfield. I want to cut a playfield myself and tinker around making my own game. Basically I just want flippers, bumpers, and slings that work while designing it. Will that be pretty simple to do without an mpu? I would rather just get a solenoid driver board for now while messing with it and figure out the lights and mpu later. Thanks for any tips
Quoted from MrSanRamon:Yes, it's difficult but not impossible. He's in ND, so he's a lot closer to the east coast where all of the games seem to reside.
Even at $600, you get a cab, backbox, probably legs, and a lot of parts to get you started on this endeavor. Even if you have to buy an Alltek of Rottendog board, you are in pretty good shape.
I've been working on a re-theme of a Bally Night Rider for about a year now and I can say from experience that starting from a semi-working game is a big step up from zero. Especially if you haven't done something like this before.

I have about 15 non working early solid states to pick from in various states of completeness for very cheap. Might pick up a stellar wars
Well this will be my donor.. the bar it was in had a fire, it was taken back to the operator and stripped of all boards. Now to read some more and scale the layout I have drawn up. Going to need to find a cheap way to get flipper power. In a while! Going to be fun!
