Thanks for the extra pics you sent me. It's back to the office after a lone extended weekend, so not too much was done today. I did cut out the NEW target section, patch the drill holes, put in a ball stop and paint a bit. I will end up cutting some of the painted scoreboard, and depending on how I do the score display, there will have to be some other support board in place there. I went ahead and started on the display circuit, and I am about 1/2 way done with the score end of it. The circuit for each digit is identical, so being able to test one digit out will be nice once I get it put together. I really like RandyT's display he came up with. Will be nice to see in the future where this all leads. I'm almost torn to go that route and put a monitor in there. On your display Randy, how customizable are the positions of the ball # and score ?. I wonder if you could just have that display through a marque in place where the numbers are. Its a thought at least. Brad |

Now ... have you decided whether you are putting a netting over the target area .. (or something similiar) .... so the balls do not slam into your marquee? |
| Ixliam:
Yep, it will have netting. Don't need it flying through the windows either. I'll weld/bend a frame once I get to that point. Brad |

I just wanted to tell you that it looks awesome. I have seen people talk about doing this. You are the first I have seen actually do it. My son love loves the game, so I have thought about doing the same thing. But it's just too big. It takes up the space of 5 or 6 cabinets... Maybe someday I will have a house with a basement the size of a bowling alley.... Steve |

Cool project, don't think I've ever played the game but it looks great so far. Looks like you'll have it finished pretty soon at this rate! :) |
