I've used piggy boards on my real machines and really hope someone makes them again! Zebs boards are great for virtual pins but really need the piggy for real pins and they can still be used for virtual. Zeb!?!? :) make them
Please.

All I need are the dimensions of the existing socket locations and mounting holes on a williams driver board and I'm good to go. Unfortunately, I haven't got one to be able to get the needed specs.

Just a head's up ...

 

Piggyback boards, transformers, plasma DMDs, and PinDMDs (already available) will be listed on the VIrtuaPin site in the very near future.

 

We'll also be offering a great price on a pre-wired, drop and mount setup with all the above and speaker panel.

 

:)

That's great to know! More options for people is always a good thing.

Plasmas look so good :)

Small Question...

Does using a plasma DMD is compatible with Future Pinball (i mean display DMD on the plasma screen) ?

Ced.

Noah, when do you expect to have the prewired, drop & mount plasma DMD setup to become available?

I just received the components in small quantities for R&D and VirtuaPins.

I'll be ordering more components in large quantities soon, and will receive in 4-6 weeks.

Price on these kits will be $359.95, and will include piggyback board, transformer, PinDMD, and plasma DMD. It'll all be pre wired and ready to install.

:)

Excellent price. Well worth, specially if it's plug and play. You are using Vishays in your kit, right?

You are very welcome, GatorJim! Enjoy your plasma. It's really unbeatable when it comes to quality (and for that sweet price.......) ;)

Hi all,

I have all of the components needed for the plasma dmd except for the transformer. Are there any more bulk orders planned or anyone that has one to sell?

Thanks!

Probably not. We can ship plasma DMDs overseas as replacement parts, but not as new products, as they contain lead.

Sorry, guys. I have yet to resolve my HDD issues, so I have had little to no access to my PC.

Will get the transformers up ASAP.
