We're picking up the last few orders from them, so, we're probably building it.

Lucky for you! The first run of PBW's will boast genuine, stainless steel lockdown bars!

Congrats !

Is it possible to use this controler just with a computer & a rotated WS monitor (or TV), or do you NEED a cab ?

it's a stand alone controller for those that don't have a cab. So it makes your computer feel like a cab.

It can be used for ANY setup.

I've even seen them on the end of full scale cabs.

Nice! Wicked that you have so many options now for people!

[Rook]

Awesome! Well done!

Any idea of the order turn around time on new orders of the board/optical plunger?

[Noah Fentz]

I already burned through the first shipment of boards, and there are a lot more on their way. I expect them on Monday.

The answer would be no longer than a week to ship at this point.

[mamemaster]

You're lucky you didn't have these before I bought that VirtuaPin from you.....this was part of my original plan to build my own cab.

Frankly I'm glad I got the VirtuaPin!

Hi Noah how wide are the wide body lockdown bars you sell I built my cabinet to a williams wide body drawing I got from the net http://forum.arcadec...?topic=104284.0 my cabinet is 630mm with out the side rails will probably bend up some 2mm for those

24-3/4" is a widebody cab, and they are 1/8" wider than the cab (24-7/8"). Google says 630mm is 24.80". Should fit perfectly.

Hello,

I have some questions.

Since this device technically connects to the PC as a joystick device, can this connect to a ps3? Would it connect correctly to a ps3 ? I'm asking to see if it's possible to also use the wizard to play pinball arcade and pinball fx.

Also, you said you are working on other new ideas regarding the wizard. Can you share any of those ideas? I keep thinking i am going to buy the wizard and then a week later, a new cooler version of the device goes on sale.

Thanks.

Steven R.

[Noah Fentz]

Hi Steven,

Since I don't own a PS3, I cannot say for certain if it would be recognized.

As for my 'new controller' concepts comment, I'm referring to new ideas altogether, not modifying the PBW.

Ordering the PBW soon would ensure you get a unit with a real stainless steel lockdown bar. I recently purchased the remaining NOS Safe Cracker lockdown bars from the manufacturer, and we'll be using them until they are gone.
