Hi all,

 

I'm Chris H., living in Bremerton, WA. I grew up loving pinball, but haven't played much in the past couple decades. I've lurked for years and have played VP tables on the computer off and on. Finally this year the bug bit and I decided I needed my own table. I actually looked into buying a used real table but that is beyond my means and I really like variety. Besides, I thought it would be fun to embark on a project I could pull my two boys in on to help.

 

 

I look forward to sharing my build journey.

I agree that a cab is totally worth the investment!

It's a great thing to do and being so close to the completion of mine, I can honestly say, my first one will not be my last one. I have so many things I would do differently, but I am thrilled with how my first cab has turned out thus far. Read. Read. Read. When you are sick of reading, read some more. Good luck, plenty of members here who will be happy to lend a hand.
