Did you get a separate controller for each one?

Keep in mind those rings come with a single controller, so if you use one controller fo four rings, then the controller needs to be mounted on a middle pin. In my case, I had a bunch of single controllers laying around from various projects, so i gave each pin it's own setup. You can go either way, and the controllers and transformers are pretty cheap on Amazon.

Just a wall wart type?

Yep, they draw so little, about any 12v source will do so long as the polarity on the plug is correct. Like 4 bucks on ebay or amazon.

My five clear samples arrived today. Fit and finish is excellent, and very pleased with the purchase. Thank you Kevin.

My black sample looks and works great. Had it on my LaserBall throughout the Louisville Arcade Expo and it held up great.

If they aren't already spoken for I'll take them!

Got mine a little whle back (Clear ones). Fantastic product. Well thought out design and super easy install.

Love 'em.

Got 4 of these and they are great! Very nice product.

So is there a pricing structure built yet on these cups?

Sorry bud, but I don't get the pricing structure at all.
You had me until you started talking about colors and translucent more expensive.
I just don't get why a "exotic" is 7 dollars more expensive. It's the same material; you just added tint colors to it. (except ofcourse GITD)

I'm certainly not an expert in pricing injected molded parts... but in my experience injection molding pinball buttons; the colors are the same material costs as the black.

I'm probably going to stick with PinGlups as they at least have a sensible pricing strategy.

I haven't read all this tread but I think I'll give one a try and see how I like it. I have about 10 pingulps but have about 35 pins in my game room. Let me know when they are ready to order. Don't need anything fancy black with not lighting will do. PM me when ready. Thanks.

So when you say the LED cap included does that mean the LED itself or just some cap to cover the LED? I guess i'm asking if this is a complete pre-lit cup that just needs to be bolted on and wired up for power for the LED or if this is just another pingulp cup that still needs more parts to make it light up? Sorry for the confusion but it's unclear what is included.

It is a cap on the bottom of the cup that provides the space for you to install an LED of your choice.
Look back towards the top of the Thread and you will see a few pics of Cups w/ LED Rings added.

So are you ready to start taking orders?

Ready to order 10 plain Jane black.

Do these nest for shipping? I have 15 or more pins and i'm in Australia, would be awful expensive if not.

My fork lift could do with an upgrade too.

Also can you post a pic of a can with a cooler on it in one? Dunno if coolers are popular in the states, but closed cell foam can coolers are ubiquitous here.

20 cups on the way to me in Aus! yippee!

All I see is pics of these drink holders mounted on Williams/Bally machines. Seems to me that they sit way too high to be mounted on a Stern machine (legs mounted 2” higher on the cabinet). Appears that a long neck beer bottle would get in the way of the shooter rod or the flipper button.

Lets see a pic of this cup holder mounted on the right front corner of a Stern machine. Looks like it would directly interfere with the plunger. Also looks like it would interfere with even the mildest slap save when mounted on the left or right side of the cabinet.

Only “safe” spot is front left side?

No issues on sterns at all

Lots of mounting options, no complaints from our test locations earlier this spring and we had them mounted in pretty much all 4 positions. Bars were extremely happy with ability to remove easily and sterilize in their dishwasher.

Will that be an added cost, or just indicate that your cup is going on a Stern game when purchasing to receive it?

I literally just came to say this is an issue. I just got a deadpool and mounted the cup holder and boom, its in the way of the flipper buttons. Definitely going to need some way to make it hang lower. Its OK for cans, but thats about it.

I dont like mine in front, it makes it too easy to catch as you walk by (I already have enough trouble with the guns on fish tales, shadow and dirty harry) and I dont really like the look. After seeing your mock up, Ill probably look into 3d printing a piece. I know you already finished tooling, but having it lower would be super nice if possible.

For those of us wishing to know as i was if they hold a can with a cooler, the answer is yes indeedy do.

Breakfast spread included for authenticity to show they traveled half way round the world when i'm only allowed to go to the local shop.

I'll get some more later in the week when i have some mounted.

Front room done, i was keen to see how they went, will do the back room later.

Well if you play aggresively I don't think a pint glass like that would be a good idea anyway as it would slosh all over the place. If you nudge hard then a can would be safer or put it somewhere off the machine. I agree for a bottle it might bounce around in that a bit too much though. Kind of hard to make something like that universal to cans, mugs, bottles though so I think it looks pretty versatile. Yours looks great too! Personally I wouldn't use the holders as I just don't like the look on the game and I think I would end up spilling and bumping into it all the time cause I'm a dork that way! LOL

Too many people put their drinks down on the carpet either where they are playing or under the machine next to them. Will be a disaster one day. I would have preferred smal tables between the machines, but the expense really adds up then.

You nudge my machines hard enough to spill a drink and you will be politely asked to GTFO.

I certainly nudge and slide my own machines hard enough to slop a full drink from a glass. Wouldn't take much i'd reckon. Half empty can is pretty safe of course.
