Quoted from nman:That backbox is fantastic. You guys are making this stuff look easy
Thanks,we are going to add a lot to the backbox, it will also have a rotating moon on the right side etc.
We want to put in a lot of hours to make it extremely awesome.
And it is fun to see something like a sheet of plastic become a neon sign.
It is nowhere near easy, but if you succeed,it just feels great
Quoted from labnip:more . . . . !

Ha! That clip should be in the game,labnip
Quoted from Grizlyrig:Enjoying following your project,very cool.
Mike
Thanks!appreciate it!
This is the machine up to this point, nice attraction mode and the new neon sign topper.
A few insert lights need contact adjusting,just don't look at them.
Great updates again guys. Love that you will tackle anything and work out how to get it done.
I too was relieved that you didn't blow yourselves up with that gas heater. Who would finish it then? Hope Mic's finger is ok
You must feel a great sense of achievement and what really shows is you are having fun. Which is what it should be. Fantastic thread and keep it up. Going to put up a link on AA in Australia for those that might be missing it.

Quoted from Fairground:Thanks for another fantastic update
Thanks guys, the keyword is indeed fun!

That is actually the correct path to follow..imagine what you want something to look like and then learn how to make it.
Don't build things because you have a certain material or shape laying around.
Creating things from scratch is sooo rewarding.
Looks great guy's can"t wait to play.
Any playfield graphics to show?
Are you going to print the playfield or use a sticker like me, or make your one color cut out plastic stensel stickers like the cabinet?.
Very Cool .... following for sure .... giving me great Ideas .... as my wife is rolling her eyes at me. hahaha .... bananana
Quoted from sven:That's a great looking TV. Philips, right? I really wanted that when I was young
Yup the "philips discoverer", i have the original remote too,sort of a retro nasa feel, great crt by the way!
In the meantime i am busy doing the mech for the prototype moon,the plan is to have it rotating slowly above gru's house with a spotlight on it(a little hole inbetween shingles in the roof where the beam comes thru) and every rotation the logo on the moon appears in the spotlight.
I actually stole my son's disco globe for the motor is low rpm and perfect for the job.
He is not into disco anyways.
