Like Lew, I’d be concerned with having the screen that low and exposed. Even with glass, it seems vulnerable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I hate everything about this. |

I dig it! I see you rotate your rotating vpin perpendicular to my rotating vpin... but your schwartz is as big as mine. I found six degrees to be the minimum angle that looked and felt okay to me, if the playfield is parallel to the top edge of the playfield box. I suspect you could go steeper if you wanted. Some people set the PF monitor more flat than the taper of the box that it is in, which may contribute to you getting reports of differing incline numbers. |

I assumed toughened glass would be strong enough to handle the odd bump but maybe I'm inviting trouble. The location where it will be placed is out of the usual walking about area (in between existing cabs and a table) but still... --- Quote from: pbj on January 11, 2021, 10:09:25 pm ---I hate everything about this. --- End quote --- I really wish you wouldn't sit on the fence with this. ;) It's definitely not a cab for everyone, but will suit my purposes fine --- Quote from: Laythe on January 12, 2021, 11:17:13 pm --- I found six degrees to be the minimum angle that looked and felt okay to me, if the playfield is parallel to the top edge of the playfield box.

I'm leaning towards around 6-10 degrees. but when I'm further on and made the shell I can try it. Unfortunately, the weather has been crap so I've not been able to start cutting yet. I've been doing some prelim artwork for the backbox though: *Very* early draft meaning everything it's more about seeing what I could put on there. Background will change, fonts will probably change but I'm kinda liking how the logo works in the shape I have. There likely wont be any artwork on the playfield sides as I want it to look like a flipper so might wrap it in white vinly. Haven't decided yet Anyway - cheers for the feedback (good and *especially* bad :)) |

Cheers! :cheers: I like your side art idea regarding the logo. Early, but that's got promise. Good stuff. If you plan to use some physical vpin toys, it helps on projects like this to plan them in up front if you haven't already. They make fake pinball a little less fake, and when you get clever about the overall form factor like this, you don't have an enormous cavernous trunk of a main cabinet box to stuff them into later. They don't have to be physically huge, but they do consume space and have wiring implications. |
