Well, I sold off my south park machine, and I couldn't decide on what get next so I took the plunge and started to build a Pinmame cabinet with the cash. I know it's not the real thing, but until I decide on my next machine it will do, and keep the girlfriend happy that I'm not swaping machines in/out every month.
So far I have 111 tables running full screen on a 37" monitor, and the fully animated backglass's running on a 23" monitor.
I bought a Nanotech pinball wizard controller, ( should be here soon, shipping)
I have to build (or find) a cabinet to put all this in.
I am thinking on building it similar to a pinball 2000 machine design, and mounting the cpu in the head the same way. I think this would make it alot easier to service than putting everything in the bottom cabinet, under the large monitor.
I can put the subwoofer in the bottom cabinet, and have the cpu in the top behind the backglass monitor.
Since I have the pinball 2000 machines I can measure and build it to scale. it would be the same size.
Just wondering thoughts on cabinet art? I want it to be original, but have done alot of stuff lately and have writers/artist block.
And also if pin 2000 complete flipper buttons mechs are available from any suppliers? the two button combo would work great and look sweet to mod into the cabinet.
Anyone have any williams coin doors lying around? I have called around locally but no one wants to sell used.
I will have some pics soon. Once I break out the table saw and start cutting.
I still have 2 other custom projects on the go as well. Yikes!
