I just joined Pinside yesterday, but have been following it for awhile now. A lot of great information and users here and thought I would share a quick story of my personal project. As the title of my post indicates, yes, I did build (2) new Medieval Madness games by using an original as a pattern to copy from. I know this has been done before by two great fellow pinsiders "Wally" and most recently by "Ed" from Texas, (Probably others out there as well). My hats off to you both because I can now personally attest to the dedication that it takes to accomplish this task. My approach was not to convert an NBA, but instead start from the ground up and to build (2) games as quickly as possible instead of converting only one. My start date for this project was 9-5-2013, exactly 2-1/2 Months (or 75 days) ago. While a lot of the parts are still attainable thru various vendors, there are many that are not and a person needs to be creative to overcome the challenges, however that is part of the fun of doing this kind of project. I must acknowledge the help I received from some wonderful people out there that helped me along the way and I would like to mention their names and express my gratitude to them: Paul at "VirtuaPin" who made the cabinets, Matthew at "Rollingballscultures" who made the wire rails, Robert at "ZPlating" for brass plating the wire rails, Wayne at "Mr Pinball" and Mark at "Spare Parts Australia" for both providing numerous hard to find parts, the folks at Marco Specialties, Bay Area Amusements, Pinball Life, and K's Arcade. The photos share some stages of the project and I hope you enjoy viewing them.MM (5).JPGMM (14).JPGMM (24).JPGMM (35).JPGMM (41).JPGMM (51).JPGMM (63).JPGMM (92).JPGMM (97)-807.JPGMM (103).JPGMM (109).JPGMM (110).JPG
