Added over 7 years ago: this the old design that is not used.

Its changed and final now the design.
I have ordered some parts at marco's for my version of the remake of the Data East version. A ngg slamramp and the right spiderman ramp.
So when i get te parts i can check if everything is correct in my design.

Brigitte is already working on the graphics.
I also found a Starwars donor.

thanks, its a fast one this time ready end july this year.

i had to choose between darth and the emperer, i choose the last one because darth is already on the slingshot.

And everything is final printing is already starting.

Some name change.
Starwars, Death star one.
Instead of only starwars.

The new name and bigger death star because the death star uses the ngg lift ramp for two way intrance. Ramp down for start a mode.
Ramp up to opens deathstar for multibal and double jackpot.
Now you now how it works.

Here the cabinet for real.

IMG_20170314_230547 (resized).jpg

Its a handmade playfield drilled by hand with glos polymeer sticker overlay and on top a special mix of glas epoxy to flatten out the playfieldand to make make it shine.
And on top (not yet) a macralon transparant sticker to protect.

The inserts are on the playfield but also on the sticker printed (fake) for the best results.

Final playfield printed design.

Time to make it playable.

Iám not shure what to do.
I don't like graphics on it because the backbox of a Data East is already hi and make the looks of it higher.

I think i leave it as it is for now.

There is some power again in this old Data East Starwars remake.

Thanks.

Thanks Guy's , Can't wait to see how Sterns version looks like.
I hope the "raptor pit kicker" deflector shield down mode to open the deathstar makes it in the Stern version

Thanks.
There aint mutch followers in this tread,they don't like Starwars or my version

Thanks.
Before the 40 year anniversary of Starwars i hope to show a video of the 100% finished machine.

I got a lot of questions is it for sale, how many do you make.

NO its NOT for sale and i only make one for myself.
Why... because its not licensed.
In november it wil be on te Dutch DPO Expo, and i do a seminar.
Then it wil vanish in my private gameroom forever just like my Mediëval Castle.

After some lightbulp test, this is the final backbox lightning color.

There some screensavers in development with the same background and moving 3d models from Starwars.
But there is stil the black bar from the display that blacks out the translite round de display.
maybe it looks awful.

Made some speaker leds.
And a plastic cover over the apron for the graphic, and between them some leds.
