Hey All,

Got the itch to make a digital pinball table, but didn't have the resources to make the real deal, so this is what I came up with.

Let me know what you think. I eventually want to sell it, so I can fund the cost to make a full size one, but for now its pretty cool.

I've also gotten some feedback saying that this size may be more desirable because not everyone has room for a full size table. What do you think? Thoughts on what it would be worth?

Thanks ahead of time, hope you like it!



PS: There is a link in the video description to some more pictures.

Cheers!

DeXLL

Yeah, the link to the pictures is in the description of the youtube video, but I'll just put it here to make it easier.

Nice work man! It looks about the same size as my mini.. minus the legs.

It looks like you could use some extra RAM. I think that is what is slowing down your HyperPin menu and screenshots.

That looks great! You have inspired me to build a mini first before I build the full size. Did you decase the playfield? Do you have a playfield glass over the playfield or is that just the monitor screen?

Thanks!
Having a cabinet to play full screen pins is awesome! Check out my mini pin cab here on VPForums.

Yeah, I took both screens out of their original cases so they fit better. I originally didn't want to for simplicity, but there was no room for some stuff if I didn't, especially the plunger mechanism. BTW I will post pics of the insides soon.

As for the glass, yes both the back glass and playfield are covered with (i think) 3/8" tempered glass.

The backglasses for the future pinball tables are automatic. You just need to visit the Future Pinball forums and make sure your config is set properly. Hope that helps.


PS: Thanks for all the nice comments!!! It took me forever to build and config this thing.

I watched the video.... very nice. From the video it sounds like you are using the actual plunger... what did you use to make it work? Is it the plunger from Nanotech Entertainment?

What did you use for the side rails and front bar? Where did you get it from?

How did you mount the playfield and backglass in the cab?

Is that quarter round framing in the backglass?

How do you remove the backglass for maintenace?

Are those regular PC Speakers?

I would say you could price it around $1,500-$2,000 easily.
