Another of Paul's gorgeous cabinets has landed in our rec room, and is pretty much open for business!

The workmanship was first-rate, and getting things up and running was trouble free.  I'm still learning a lot about the software and tweaking things to my liking, but it's quite playable and a lot of fun.  I hope to create an original table at some point, and from the wall art you can guess the subject. :)

Woohoo Just happen to come across this one at the IPDB!

http://www.ipdb.org/...4443&picno=6322

any time you feel like trying yer hand at  building a pin just let us know

and we'll help ya' best we can

and that's a great looking TOM cab ya' got there!

I don't know how good a humidifier is next to a pin though...


oh and if that is deep pile carpeting you may want to invest in rubber footies

  for the bottom of the pin legs to keep the legs from punching holes/dents in your rug

Heheh.  Yeah I've played that Godzilla pin.  I have something truer to the Toho films in mind.

 

I will likely move the humidifier further away, and may also get an anti-static mat.  I've been having static issues with the cab, and want to protect the hardware as best I can.

TOM's a wide body???

at the IPDB it states that it is a SS electronic pin no mention of widebody anywhere

but that cab does look to be one doesn't it

http://www.ipdb.org/...type=quick#2845

 

found a couple of Easter eggs for it though

Holding the left flipper when pressing the START button initiates a game of Digital Pinball.
Holding down the right flipper button when pressing START reveals on the display

some useful codes for the Mortal Kombat 3 video game

Check out this video, I made it for my grandson who is a big Godzilla fan. If you have old B2s tables working and want the pin, then PM me.

I'd love a copy of that table! :)  I'll get in touch...

 

Oh, and TOM was never a wide body.  That was some custom decal work that Paul did for me. :)

I made this table about 2 yrs ago in desktop, then made a FS later, the table uses the Godzilla rom, I removed the ramps and toys and replaced graphics, it's not for release as it uses Landers script from his godzilla table. My tables are no longer the quality that I feel is worth releasing and I don't want to trouble shoot as this table uses the original B2S system and I don't feel like updating it when it works fine for rme.
