I really don't have the correct tools to work with metal, so trying to miter something this size by hand pretty much sucked, but with the help of multiple clamps and a lot of swearing I managed to get the framing for the main playfield and flipper area to work out.

griffindodd:
For the main screen I went with an open box SONY X85K 43". It has some nice specs including very low latency, 120hz native frequency and variable refresh rate support. I Know many people go for a 43" ASUS ROG gaming monitor or even an OLED, but I got this screen for under $500, I didn't want to drop double that for one of those options.

Colors on this are fantastic so I'm more than happy for the price.



The casing of the SONY fits snug directly into the C-Channel.  :cheers:

Lots of back n forth between fitting the screen and making sure the measurements are spot on. So far so good though.

griffindodd:
I'm making my own 'lock bar' for this layout as it's much better suited to the build than trying to make a traditional one work or spending money on having a custom one built.

griffindodd:
After doing a little research on the age-old 'how many buttons?' question I decided on the following:

2 Flippers
2 Magnasaves
1 Lockbar 'Fire' button
1 Coin-up
1 Start game
1 Ball Plunge
3 smaller service buttons including escape/back.
