Greetings all.
 
I've been putting together the components for my pinball cabinet  for the past few weeks now ...
 
I've been contemplating different approaches as to how to mount the playfield monitor with some sort of hinge mech but couldn't really find any good photos.
 
Then I remembered I know and am friends with the owner of a pinball restoration / dealer place called Vintage Arcades in California, only 25 minutes away from me
 
So today (Saturday) I went to visit his shop to get some ideas, play some games and take lots of photos!!!
 
I put together a lightbox page (see below) with all the photos I took of every active working pinballs, rare vintage pinballs, pinballs in storage or being worked on, and a warehouse of many decades of parts, games, playfields (in storage) and everything.
 
I tried to take photos of the insides of several games to see how the playfield hinge mechanism works on older and newer cabs. Its not easy to see in some of the photos, but I was able to get some "ideas".
 
I was there over 6 hours and talked to a half dozen pinball technicians about the inner workings of decades of machines. Not only did I learn alot, I had a lot of fun, too.
 
Click on the photo below to open the lightbox page.
