I think total costs will run about $3,500-$4,000 which is a bummer too because for that price I could have a kegerator, storm trooper & my sit down Cruisn game...
It was a tough call but when I VP'd on the 46" for testing I was all hypnotized n ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- by it. Seriously for a minute there I lost touch with reality & was all excited that I just bought Black Knight, STTNG & a few others. Then reality came back "aw crap, I didnt buy those machines & the device that tricked me isnt even built".
Now I am sad, may have to get a Rx until its completed.
Its like that feeling when you hear a cool techno song & then all the sudden say "aww ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is that Abba mixed in here, damn not cool".

So, would a 42" playfield have roughly the same dimensions as a standard playfield? That could shave off $400-$500. Are the standard pf games blown up on your 46"? I know you are looking for good representation on TZ, IJ, and the other widebodies, but does it sacrafice accuracy on the others? Or can you chop the egdes to size it right ala standard TV signal on an HD TV?

A 42" is prob the best way to go unless you are like me & just have to have GNR, TZ, IJ & STTNG all super duper emulated....Space invaders too ;D
Everything else is like a lottery of maybe weird vs maybe not so weird. Some tables handle it a lot better than others thats for sure. TSPP is just plain WTF but BK, gorgar, HS & lots of others seem damn close. It may have more to do with the author but who knows? Honestly though its super cool & you will get past the slightly larger scale in 2.1 seconds I assure you. My expereince with this is only about 10 tables deep so far so i am not an authority on the subject but what I have seen so far has captivated me.
Damn, damn, damn! This thing is maybe, no it is cooler than anything I will have in my basement.
I doubt you can scale it properly but if so I will utilize that on a couple table fo show.

I'm gonna try to get to CP's on the 10th (saturday). My last night of kid freedom, then they come home from gramma's. Of course the wife is likely to try to throw a monkey wrench in my plan, so we'll have to see when it gets closer.
Flake:
I desperately need to get out there. Maybe I can swing it this weekend as well......maybe....
PBW - I'm with you on the 46" LCD TV. I would want something that fills out my cabinet. Since yours is a widebody cabinet it only makes sense. To me it would seem weird to have a widebody cabinet on have to fill in extra space on the sides to make the skinnier 42" TV sit in there.
BTW - I now hold the high score on Mrs. Pacman at the Fuddpuckers at Destin, FL. All while holding my 7 month old daughter in one arm while playing. Pretty lame I know but its the only place in the world....other than my basement.....that I have a high score anywhere.
