This is beyond cool. I'll bet after you get it done you'll find keeping it clean is the hardest part lol. That was always the problem with me see through computer case.

I vote you bring it as a static display!! I want to see this project so badly!

Do you think It'll be ready for the Houston show in November?

Night and Day different! If Houston would just turn down the music so it doesn't overpower the games it'd be so much better. It would also be better if it had an acrylic pinball machine!!!!

Looking good!! I'm so anxious to see the final product. But then I wouldn't have this thread to follow so take your time

You'll have to change any graphic you put on the playfield that denotes scoring as well.

I am SOOOO looking forward to the Houston show! If you don't bring it I do believe pandamonium would ensue. Mass hysteria. Dogs and cats living together...

Now I have to buy a new keyboard because of the drool on this one. I can only imagine what Vid's keyboard looks like from his post earlier.

Sleep on it. You'll figure something out. It looks fantastic

Have you devised a work around for the backbox lighting yet? Btw. The video of the both assembled and lit up is stunning!

You have GOT to bring this to Houston! Working or Not. If you can just make the LEDs glow people will wet their pants! Plus if I get you to say yes he'll let me in free too won't you?

I was just messing with ya.

Can't wait to see it all with the playfield. I can't remember, did you fix the head lighting where the LEDs couldn't make it past the score wheels?

You will have the biggest crowd at HAAG ever and I'll be right in the middle of it!

There should be a plate, I'f I'm not mistaken, to hold them in place. it might attach to the coin shoot the deposits the coin in the top of the mech. I don't see the coin shoot installed yet in those pics. I'll try to look up some old pics and look at my machines to see if any are the same coin mech type. This is a Bally correct?

EDIT: I see that it is a Sonic brand. I have no idea what their mech holders look like but I'll keep trying for you.

EDIT 2: Great detail pictures on IPDB of every part except the coin door :-/

Ok, Here is the only Sonic coin door pic I could find. It isn't as helpful as you'd like but it might give you some clues compared to what you have.

I might be presumptuous but I think I speak for most who just want to see the project, functional or not. If it is just too much trouble I can understand but getting to see this is person has kept me going for the last couple of months.

I'm leaning this way as well. I had to dissasemble mine to get to the "axle" the disk rotates on. It was gunked up pretty badly on my Bally Capt Fantatstic. When we pulled the gear piece off I stuck a playfield post in the hole to hold the spring from unwinding. It worked like a champ. I reccomend it if yours is set up with holes like that.
