for all that matters keep the back box put all the guts in it and make the lower cabinet thinner easier to move around and transport....why is all that wood necessary to hold up the playfield....back in the 70's it was necessary but not now.

true but I imagine at some point the design will move into the modern era like everything else .....pinball machines in the current state are a pain in the ass to work on .....would be nice if you could just be able to flip the playfield without having to get out the lift and block off half the room when something breaks and something always breaks

you never know... one day a new pinball king will come along ...sorta like Elon Musk, a game changer .....lets call him Elon pinball and there will be inovation in pinball again .... a new well accepted form of cabinet and maybe priced so well that everyone who wanted one could have one ....who knows maybe swapable playfields two so people could enjoy more then one machine if they only had space for one ....then guys with your attitude will be sitting on the front porch bitching about how the old pinball machines were the best and they don't make them with tail lights in the fins anymore......it's just a hobby and it's nothing I would dedicate my life to.....guess that's why they say...... you do you
