Man, the big "fest" is in Highland this weekend, I doubt I will be able to get away. Perhaps next weekend. I played a little ToM and Viper last night...getting the itch.
pinballwizard79:
America, ---fudgesicle--- yeah!
Dear kegerator, sorry its LCD pinball time....
Flake:
That video is hilarious :laugh2:
Poor kegerator...... :'(
But yippie on a WELL DOCUMENTED visual pinball cabinet......you got the part about the WELL DOCUMENTED hint there right? OK good. There may be a new subforum here dedicated solely to these projects. Not sure if Saint has done that yet though.
That cabinet looks famaliar...he didnt part out a working DM did he? If thats a different cabinet Chuck must be the gatekeeper for all things DM, alot of those machines go through his doors.
I look forward to the upcoming project....keep us posted!

Ah well documented = you learning from my mistakes...I will def start a project thread in a few weeks once progress is made & of course my local BYOAC'rs are welcome to play it when its completed.
Gotta say however I am not sure about this 46" ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, its perfect on the wide body games as I expected (TZ, IJ, STTNG) but its just plain weird on the standard body tables more so that I expected. Dont get me wrong its still awesome but its odd playing a wide body huge honkin TSPP. Then again maybe real pinball machines are too small & this my chance to make em bigger >:D Regardless the 46" is going in it since TZ & STTNG are very important to me & I suck at pinball repairs. Attached are some pics to see how the size of a real pinball stacks up to the emulated version FYI
As for the DM cabinet its from a "warehouse" raid, Chuck has to still find a head for it & the DMD holder thing (wtf is that even called).
I have my bottom cabinet, lock down bar/assembly, side rails, keywhiz, buttons, wire, new feet, new legs, new bolts & a 46" LCD
To acquire: coin door, glass, head, translite glass, artwork, 2 smaller monitors & the PC of course.
As for a theme I plan on paying one of our members here in the forum to create a WW2 bomber pinup girl inspired cabinet/head decal set. Going to name it "Pin up", have it olive with the divots & bullet holes + the shark art, exhaust pipes & of course a pin up girl playing pinball. Yeah, it should be pretty cool I think (blazing angles arcade shown as a rough example)
Damn, this is almost a project announcement
LLUncoolJ:
Here is the completed "death to all other current projects" project. Now to start saving some dough. The plan is to save up about $1800, then put VND up for sale. Once sold, use the proceeds for another A list pinball...or a virtual pinball project, if PW79's blows me away. I'm sure by the time I collect some money, you will be done.
