well, maybe i'll buy it, but i won't put it in center-entrance right in front of front-door. yeah... that's where i draw the line.

interesting point...

does the acrylic handle solenoid shot vibrations the same way a wood playfield & cabinet does?
similar vibration absorption?
similar sound absorption?

Seems like this should be playable in the Smithsonian - an interactive display. Truly an awe-inspiring project here.

I need stronger "coffee"! I read this and actually was looking for the pic, then I read:

#1004 9 years ago
Quoted from BMHouze:

Best to leave it on pay for play, that way you can count the cash box without having to open it up. Besides, how else can you recoup some of your costs?
With a machine like this expo should be paying you to show up with it.

does it come with coin mechs

#1012 9 years ago

nice !

#1015 9 years ago

omg !!!
getting so close

#1018 9 years ago

#1026 9 years ago

this game rocks on so many levels...

#1033 9 years ago

wish i could help...

#1039 9 years ago
Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

I've got two evenings, basically, to get it to be at least a functional one player game. If I can get it close, I'll bring it. I just don't want to spend time during the fest working on my machine. Although expert help could really be advantageous. Going to make a video now to put up on this and the other post to show just what is going on here. Thanks again for the help and encouragement.

could bring it outside to the cigar hang-out on friday,
and could convert "The Big Smoke", to be "The Big Smoking Repair"

Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

...
Actually, there are 4, but mine ain't for sale and the guys at the PPM sold one of their three to a museum for 30k. Ouch.
Special thanks to Jeff and Brett who appear to have become my promotions department and biggest cheerleaders. Thanks!!

might have more pix than you
i played this game at TPF and houston arcade expo more than any other pin.

one amazing pinball to play and admire. look out Tron LE

#1284 8 years ago
Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

I DID see it. After it was pointed out to me. Of course most of the likes on that page went to the blue/green/red-haired suicide girl in lingerie. Go figure...

Process improvement continues. I will be etching/painting the original back glass graphics. (And properly disposing of the waterslide decals currently there.) I am also producing a play field overlay that will have the playfield graphics reverse etched on the underside. When I clearcoated the play field all that work disappeared as I figured it would. If you blow up Labnip's 4th pic and look closely, you can still make out the club around the bonus lights as well as the card surrounding the lower right "10" and the keylines and words around the inlane arrows.

Can't wait for those final touches
