Post by: ccmathome on March 18, 2010, 05:08:53 pm

Now that the weather is much better can finally start this build over, was unhappy with the way the old one turned out.

Old topic

New build
Still using a 32" screen for the playfield now using a 22" for the back box
2 days into this build and the cabinet is almost ready to put together
I need to fix the back box lol I put the back door on the front of the back box realized that after I took the pic  :P

When I put the vinyl sideart on how should I go about it? do I need to worry about it peeling at the corners?
never worked with it befor.

Nice job.

Dang. I just got back from the Texas Pinball festival. It was a blast. Lots of the very machines named around here as being the most fun. Stuff like Funhouse, T2, T3, Addams family, LOTR, various StarTrek machines. Nice (and high) prices to go along with them too  :-\

I have GOT to build one of these!

Coming along nicely, I got told heating the vinyl will help it adhere to the surface using an iron on low wrapped in a cloth or something helps.

Not sure as I'm yet to try but the better the surface the better it will stick.

Are you sure you want to go with those teeny tiny little speakers?

there pc speakers, the back box was going to have a horizontal 19" monitor and the speakers that I bought for that setup wont fit with the 22" vertical monitor. sometime later im going to recut the speaker grill with better sized speakers
