Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

Bally's 1970 Double-Up, supposedly only 55 of these were produced.  I got turned onto this table by a restoration going on at Pinside by Pecos (who also goes by Alan).  I ended up deciding to take on my first playfield redraw in Illustrator with much help and advice from such characters here as krugge99, hauntfreaks, bodydump, mfuegemann, and wrd1972 who was going through his first redraw as well and who's thread I hijacked  Thanks All!
 
Pecos has been very helpful with additional photos, sound bites, and even a very nice written and video run through of the complete ruleset, I wish I had that much info for all my table builds.  Be sure to check out his thread linked above (tells you how to play).  He also provided some great feedback from a short gameplay video I provided him.
 
Hauntfreaks went above and beyond getting the backglass image from a low res dark image into something useable, getting the plastics cleaned up as well, and making me some nice primitives for these old school ball gate brackets.  big thanks. Oh and put up a wheel image for the table as well.
 
Enjoy, it's a fun but merciless table.  Still things to tweak (always) and feedback is very welcome. future update to include DOF support
 
directb2s file is included but I haven't spent a lot of time on it or playing it so let me know if there are any issues.
 
hold down left flipper to access the options menu (thanks for the idea loserman76 and gnance)
 
NOTE: this table requires the vp10.1 beta, get the latest HERE

FS settings in the table are for my cab which has the playfield in portrait mode, most of you will need to adjust the Backdrop settings.
Here is a starting point for those of you running it the wrong way         I can't vouch for how well it looks.

I'm curious on what your cab looks like since you are running your playfield in portrait mode.  Thanks for the table

Looks like any other cabinet, smaller though , link in my signature.  Having the playfield in portrait mode allows me to stand at the end and work on it easily as even though it's only a 21" playfield it's still the largest monitor I currently have hooked up to a computer.

Thanks for this beauty ... did you create this Table with VPX-Beta ?

can't open this table in vpx. Keeps saying stopped working. I took the hyphen out of the name but still won't open. No issues with other tables. Any thoughts on this?
Can't wait to try this table. Looks awesome in the pic. sreenshot attached.

Beautiful redraw, Borgdog. Thanks for all your wonderful VP10 contributions. Can't wait to be back home to try this in a few days.

Looks and plays fantastic! Thank you! For those that don't know, you can hit print screen on your keyboard with the table open, then go to paint, and hit paste and you'll have the backglass/playfield images for your media folder.

LOL  While I love me some Ramones, that live youtube is painful to watch/listen to. Does remind me I need to grow my hair back to it's 70's and 80's glory.. if I can 

[ScottyVH]

I am wishfully inferring that a Ramones table is in the works!

tell ya what... find someone to code my slayer table and I'll do the art for a really cool Ramones table

Just uploaded version 1.1 with finalized DOF support, thanks arngrim!  Awaiting approval.

 

If using dof I suggest upgrading to this version, I had dof code in prior versions but there were a couple errors taht arngrim fixed.

Very nice table.

 

When I press the Credit button, it add 2 credits to the display on the Blackglass - is this correct?
