Can you give me some table examples and I'll load them up and take a video?

 

I haven't seen a stuttering issue, but I'd be curious about "washed out". Maybe what I thought was a lighter table was really washed out.

Very nice build.  I think I'll stick to my USB DMD for now.  Maybe one day I'll have enough cheddar to throw down on a 40+" screen and a real DMD.  Maybe.


Check out my mini-cab project

So it's been about 3 months since I finished my cab and I decided to open her up and install 8 contactors and a replay knocker.

 

This is MY take on the two types of contactors I used.

 

Siemens 3RT1016-1BB41

- Perfect size even though there is plenty of room in a WB cab.

- 24V

- Used for flipper feedback in my cab

- Could be a little louder, but I like the fact they are quieter than the AB's below.

- Fast!!

 

Note: Some of the contactors on ebay come with an aux connector and diode piggy backed on the contactor as shown below. 1)You don't need the aux connector. It disconnects from the contactor by pushing a tab on the side. 2) If you are using Zebs VOB you don't need the diode either, since it is built on the VOB.

Allen Bradley Contactor 100-A09NZ*3

- These are much longer then the Siemens contactors

- 24V

- Used for sling shot (x2) and bumpers (x4)

- Loud but I like the fact they sound different then the Siemens

- I do think they are much slower then the Siemens

I know it's been a while since you completed but did I read this correctly?

- 2 x 22 LED white car Flash Strobe Emergency Light 12V ($14) LINK

 

So you have 44 strobes in that cab? Holy cow! I gotta see where you put them all. I was thinking 6 or 8 total for mine.

Nice cab BTW!

If it ain't broke, it's probably a good idea to take it apart anyway!

I just post here to hear myself type.

What mistake??? I'm sure the retinal damage would be minimal as long as he always wore his welding mask while playing!
