Looks interesting... certainly unique.  Really, I'm not sure a like it, but I do applaud the innovation and it should play cool!

(joke) BTW, you probably don't want to keep it underwater like that, the metal will rust and the laminate will seperate after a while (/joke)  ;)

Crappy pics aside, do you think you could convert to jpg?  Bitmaps on the net is a serious no-no.  

And although I think it's a cool idea please don't tell me you cut a pinball machine in half just for two lousy flipper buttons and a plunger.  What a waste.

Hi,

Yeah this is a very very old QuickCam Color the one made by Connectix.

That's why it save the pics in BMP!

The Pinball Was on it's way to be thrown away...
a friend called me to pick it up.

The Goal is to make a Control Panel shape like a real pinball,
It's hard to see but it is already sitting where the control panel sit usually.

And to implements the detection of side / front bumping, slamming and Tilt!

So I will be able to play the Bingo Pinball nicely.

Bye
