Hi guys
 
i finished this a while ago , and have been tweaking it little by little since.  Its all done now.
 
This table features A Clock Work Orange theme,  with a custom CNC'ed DMD Speaker grill, and matching Orange beacon
 
this is a three screen widebody with  46'/32/15.4 sized screens.  The playfield is routed so that the screen goes from edge to edge of the cabinet.
 
Installed on the inside are 10 contactors, a shaker and gear motor, 2 strobes, 5 led light bar and also has matching under/behind cab lighting
 
I wanted this machine to be as authentic as possible, so there are no credit buttons.  coins add credits here.  When lazy i use my keyboard.
 
I use Zeb's plunger solution, which has the updated firmware for the "palm smash" which i really enjoy.
 
The computer is a standard i7 running windows 7 with NVidia cards.

Nice job..looks great !!

 

How many times did you have to say " Sorry hun, no time for the old in out..just going to check the v-pin " during the build...lol

 

I am working on a Walking Dead medium build and want to go with Pinball Fx2 in Windows 7 also, how do you start and navigate yours in your cabinet ? How does your machine start up into VP or Pinball FX2 ?

Thanks Athlon. I tried nuke launcher for pinballx and it never worked right. The new version if pinballx supports pinball fx2 and works quite nice.

I actually find I don't play it much though because all my wife wants to do is have sex. All the time. Day and night.

Actually that's not true at all. I don't actually play it because I find the lack of toys makes it not as fun. The VP games play so amazing with the lights and the feedback, it's hard to play anything else

Funny about my wife too, When I told her I was going to build one, she pointed to the unfinished cold cellar and told me it could go in there. Then she went to work so I ripped the wall and door down :). Never had sex again after that I don't think.

Got a chance to put my machine where I wanted it. My wife made me move it back to corner. Lol

Thanks Loafer. It's currently a kid cave. I had just spent an hour cleaning Barbie crap from all over the place lol. 10 more years and it will be mine again :)

nice try, you'll be on holographic tech by then and there won't be a way to remove free play with that.  of course, "free2play" will still be popular...

I wish I could give your post thumbs up.  This made me laugh.

Electricmagma, gorgeous cab, love the clean authentic look, really well done. Are you running Zeb's Virtual Output Kit? Which contractors did you use? How about some pictures of the interior?

can we then embark on a bit of ultra-violence? with my Droogs?

 great theme for a cab but now we need a clockwork orange FS pin to go with it

Thanks guys!     I have a lot of Zeb's stuff in my cab.  He actually even made the cab.

I use Zebs:

Virtual Plunger Kit
5 RGB /Strobe bar
Gear/Shaker motor
Virtual Output kit w/Ledwiz adaptor
SMT Booster Board.

I must say,  all of this stuff is very well built and easy to install.  He's done a great job making this sort of thing easy to do.

 

I have 10 contactors, a couple RGB LED strips,  a THX Logitech Speaker system, an orange 12v beacon and some coin acceptors made from leftover plexiglass.

all wired up to a Smart Power Bar.  Works flawlessly.

Funny story behind my build:

My wife told me i could put it in an area in my basement that was behind a wall/door into a cold cellar/storage area.  She didn't say it had to BE behind the wall,  she just sorta pointed in there.    SO.... she went to work, and i tore down the wall :)  

 

Because i can't post pics here,  here is a link to my build (one drive):

The DMD was ok,  it showed up in the mail like that , and Ebay covered it.   The Playfield sucked.... i did that the SECOND i decased it.  Worst part is i KNEW it :)   It wasn't terrible, i got it on a Boxing Day sale for less than 400,...
