    I love the terminal strip approach to your machine. I have been using simple terminal strips for my DC distribution in my homebrew in progress.

    Would you care to share what products you are using for the DIN mounted terminal blocks, circuit breakers and cable troughs? I want to upgrade and I am inspired by what you have done.

    Thank you for the inspiration.

    Quoted from SpaceGhost:

    j_m_ LOL. How dare you tempt me!!!!
    driskel This is basically what I ordered. I actually ordered a lot more in quantity but I wasn't sure how I was going to do this. UL standards and I believe CE allow you to have 2 wires without ferrules terminated into each terminal block. Just FYI. The thing I like about the terminal blocks is that they are very versatile. The jumper allows you to add as many 5vdc, 12vdc and 48vdc terminals as you'd like, even after the fact. The finger safe fuse holders allow you to connect and disconnect the power supplies while you are working on different aspects of the game also.
    I would order fast acting fuses for your fuse holders. I have 3 fuse holders in our machine. They are fusing the 48vdc power supply, the 12/5vdc power supply and the service outlet. Beyond that, we have fuses on the outputs of the power supplies. We are using a Fast Pinball - Filter Board to do this. Really cool board.

    Thank you for the response and the inspiration.

    I have another part question for you. Did you form the metal ball guide(s) that feed the trough or did you buy them or re-purpose them from another machine? I am looking for something very similar.

    Thanks
