I'm new here so please be gentle.
I'm about half way through the design and build of a pinball themed clock.
I'm a bit of a clock addict.
The stranger the better.
The idea for this clock has slowly evolved in my head. The first big problem I had was finding a set of 4 reels. I'm in the U.K and parts like this are difficult to find unless you have very deep pockets. But after some persistence a set was found. I have absolutely no idea of their origin. Maybe someone here can tell me their manufacturer.
So the project is born and working to the point I have a functioning clock.
The plan is to theme the clock on abra-ca-dabra.
I have a grandmother clock case found on ebay. Its an ugly case but will fit the bill.
The clock will have a "Westminster" chime. Every quarter hour the clock will play an original game sound via an embedded MP3 player.
There will be light effects to accompany this.
The case is still in the planning stage. But the thinking is only the theme from the original pinball. So a more human like witch from the playfield on the long part of the case. All will be custom airbrushed. Modified back box graphics in the glass case with the clock reels.
If there are people interested I will start posting pictures of the build process along with details of the electronics and microcontrollers code.
Also any one interested in my previous creations take a look at The Time Bandit and Father of Time clocks here.

There is also a build video for the Time Bandit Clock.
