im relatively new to the the whole mame cabinet thing and havent seen alot of the different things people have done but i was wondering if anyone has every attempted to build a claw machine? it seems like it would be realativly simple but then again i have no idea how any of that stuff works, what do yall think? think it would be possible and/or worth trying? |

If you like engineering and electrics as opposed to electronics, then there's no reason not to. However, what I would say is there's not really much point building one. You can't emulate any other game on it. You might as well buy a used one. It'd be cheaper than building one. They're also not as simple as you think............ They have variable grab, and variable payout and a lot of other subtleties that the public are mostly unaware of. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

I agree with Fozzy.... If it's something you just "want" to do then that's cool. But honestly it would be cheaper and easier to buy a used broken one and just repair it than it would be to construct one from scratch. They are neat little novelties for the home game room. I have a small Candy Crane myself. But keep in mind .... that's ALL they do. So how much trouble would you want to go through for one? (to build or to buy) |
