If I remember, it was all a bunch of theory... nothing actually got built.

I got into this hobby with the intent of building my own pin, but shelved it as I determined that it would end up being more expensive than just buying a real pin.

My advice: Start with Visual Pinball and see if you can make a table that is fun enough to play to be worth actaully building. This will let you experiment with the flow of the table beforehand.

Next: Check out http://www.marcospec.com for parts.

When I was planning mine, I wasn't going to use a computer as the brains... it somehow seemed like "cheating" to me.  Somewhere I have schematics doodled for circuits to run the scoreboard, drain, ball counter, etc... ended up figuring it would be a couple of hundred dollars just for circuit parts.  :o If I did it now, I would definately use a computer...

I posted about this once and everybody told me I was crazy for trying.
