So far I have only 2 tables playing on the cabinet to test everything and get all software working. But once things are more complete I plan to clean up the wiring some more. I'll probably just use colorful zip ties for everything that I have now, but once I add contractors to the machine, I...
Well the easy part done. The cabinet is built. Time to let my problems shine through. Personally I think the cabinet build is the easy part.
My issues begin with software.
Everything had been dry fitted together earlier so I won't spend a lot of time going through it now. I just reinstalled...
I also worked on the speaker grills. I found a picture online, resized it to proper size, made a mirror copy and printed them on sticker paper
Next, I cut them out with an exacto knife and stuck them on the grills.
Then I grabbed the rattle can and painted them red, to match the rest of the...
I spent some time wiring up the cabinet.
I finished soldering wires together for the strobes and flashers. For the wires that cross the playfield tv I installed a quick connect. This is just a plug for a car trailer hitch lights. It was cheap from a local surplus store.
On the inside left...
The next step for me is working on the power lines. Hooking up the power switch and complete the wiring. I have a buddy thats an electrician, so it's best to get him over to double check my plan before I move forward. Last thing I want to do is build a fire hazard.
I've started on the...
It's been very cold here in southern Ontario this month so not a lot has been done.
I bought a couple fans, hopefully this will keep the machine cool
I installed the replay knocker inside the backbox, it just fits behind the 32" tv. The back of the tv is on the right side of this pic and the...
Just a few odds and ends here. I mounted the plunger module upside down under the apron.
I also mounted the strobe panels and flasher bar (from Zebulon) on the back panel behind the playfield screen
and I mounted the resistor board (from zeb) inside the cabinet, then soldered up the light bar...
Yesterday was a great day. I spent a couple hours adding parts. I mounted the subwoofer in the center back of the cabinet. I measured the location, drilled a pilot hole, and then cut it out with a jig saw.
I also installed the front buttons. Start, Exit, and Extra Ball. I plan to wire the one...
Working back on the bottom of the cabinet, I did a skim coat of wood fill to smooth out the wood grain, so that it won't show through the graphics.
That was sanded smooth and then painted. Black for the outside of the cabinet, white on the inside.
I don't make resolutions.
I believe that life is about improving everyday. So I always try to live the best I can, some days I fail, but I always try to add positive energy to every situation and avoid as much negative energy as possible.
My current goal is my virtual pin project. I'm always...
