Hello everyone
Here is more detail of the construction of a special project, an original one for sure, that I realized in 2017.
It's a bit special because it can be "transformed" to be adapted to different modes of play:
Cocktail table mode:
Virtual pinball mode:
Vertical Bartop mode:
But before this state, there was a little work at my workshop
The base of the box is made of wood (MDF)
I had to work around problems that we do not think about ;-)
For example, the cables of the second joystick go inside the arm to enter the box
Finished woodworking part
Transformation!
After the painting step, time of wiring , and getting everything to go inside was not easy!
Time to play !
Inside, for the computer part, a recycle mini pc Chromebox, with windows 10 on it.
The screen is a recycle laptop lcd screen.
For software, PinballX as Frontend , mame for emulation and pinball fx2 for pinball games.
To finish, some links to topics on french forums, where I posted the construction 2 years ago:

2 years ago, I did not have a 3D printer, there are probably some parts that I would do differently now ... maybe in version 2.0 ;-)
