Nudge, even with buttons, is a must. Not to diss, just mentioning, you got some light showin in through the left top side there.

What did you use for the DMD spot?  And, it looks like you dropped the playfield monitor, to the depth of a real playfield, yes?

Man, the table scene has ex-ploded. I gotta at least buy me one of these. On that note, and since you said 'budget build', what was your total cost?

Hi, thats just a refelction of the edge of the glass. I taped and painted all the areas light can escape :)

DMD is a 17 inch Philips monitor at 800x600 res

Total cost was less than $800NZD which would be 600-700 USD.

Yep, there are some awesome HD tables coming out specific for cabinets and it just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks

Looks great!

Hi, I copied the Williams plans to spec apart from widening the cabinet slightly to fit the 43 inch screen perfectly, thats what makes the back box overhang a little less than the usual wide bodies.

The lock down bar I had made as I couldnt get one here as pinball parts in NZ are hard to come by. The legs came of an old Williams table, they were chrome and rusty so I just use Hammerite paint after cleaning them up with steel wool.

Cheers

What main monitor are you using?  a standard 43" TV?  seems to wide to me?

I love the look.  I've wanted to build one for ages, but it was always too expensive.... but tv prices are coming down.  Might be time to start considering it.

I've never seen a pinball cabinet without artwork but have to say I like the black.

Its a philips 16:9 43 inch 1080P from approx 5 years ago, can remember the model number, it had a 1 inch think bezel around the LCD panel (not the plastic outside bezel) and I couldnt be bothered recessing this into the cabinet walls so just went with a wider cabinet to accomodate.

Yep, its time to build one my friend
