Thanks heaps again to Jesse from Helensburgh for letting me take all the measurements of his machine.

I'm doing a bit of everything at the same time, and I'm slow.

Rough timeline:
- Research work and parts ordering - started Mar 2016
- Electronic tests and glass art reproduction - started May 2016
- Cabinet building - started Jun 2016
- Many more months to go.

Parts:
- Vaccuum formed playfield channels repro from Ebay
- CPO from ChompingQuarters
- Generic joysticks and button from Ebay
- Generic wheels and belt from Ebay
- Custom glass from glassreflections.com.au
- Home made glass art and playfield art (to do)
- Pretty much everything else from Bunnings..

Electrics/electronics:
- Arduino Mega, protoshield extension board, microSD shield, 7 segments displays and driver, sound amp, LEDs all from Ebay
- Stepper motors and drivers from Ebay
- Second hand speaker from Gumtree
- Program by myself, sounds reaped from the original ROM
- Low operating force microswitches from Element14
