    Here is my System 11 "pinball machine in a box" lol
    Makes working on boards and testing machines so much easier. It has all the components of a pinball machine, transformer, sound board, display boards etc. I also have one made for WPC. The switch matrix, lamp matrix, solenoid testers work with both kits. image.jpgimage.jpg

    Quoted from darkpinball:

    My pcb board holder, a frame made from 2020 aluminium profiles with two adjustable profiles across for different sizes, easy to turn around with the handles and can handle quite large boards.
    Two large washer clamps on each side of the board with a small washer between of about same thickness as the board, hangs on the wall when not used.
    All parts except knob handle distances was bought from the shelf.
    Solder holder is home made as well.

    That looks great. You need to make some kits to sell

    Quoted from cottonm4:

    It was a fair question/observation.

    Ive used those hard HF wheels. Do they not mark up your hardwood floor?

    Quoted from vid1900:

    I use the black rubber HF swivel wheels under my 300lb+ house plants and stereo rack
    They have been in use for a decade, with no ill effects
    (disclaimer: My floors are real wood with oil based poly topcoat. Never tried plastic Pergo floors - be careful)

    Rubber is good. The triple wheel mounts that I have seen at HF were hard plastic. Maybe they have some new stuff that is more rubber.
