ARTIFACT:
Thank you everyone again for the cool posts!!! ;) It keeps me going!!!

philby: I don't know what to say!! :) thank you

I am going to post a mega update soon!!!
For now it will be text "bullets" ... PICS LATER

. Cab is moved upstairs (YAY! I was freaking out about that one) ... the 6 casters design proved VITAL there... It went vooom thru the front lawn like a dolly ;)

. My artwork arrived! Scott did a BEAUTIFUL JOB... GO SCOTT @ mamemarquees.com!!

. My marquee is installed, the light is NOT on yet (still re-wiring the PC inside) ... I will post pics as soon as it's lit!

. I took the plunge and invested time in properly modifying the 27" Monitor's case and PCB placements... What a NIGHTMARE this was!! Well it was FUN but very stressful (I have ZERO experience with monitors and I didn't want to break it) ... Modification is PERFECT... the monitor fits in the cab perfectly now :)

. Carried the monitor upstairs (not a trivial task! PHEW!)

Thanks again for all the positive posts. This is truly an amazing community.

IF ????? You love your son don't you? You want all the best things for him don't you. Don't deprive him of the life long memories of playing video pinball with his Dad. Come on man. Do it for the kid.

Even if you can't get Future Pinball to work, there are lots of other very good pinball games out there. Pro-Pinball Series, Addiction Pinball, and Microsoft Pinball for example. You can usually pick them up on eBay for less than $10 delivered. "no-cd" versions of the Pro-Pinball executables are out there that allow you to launch from the HD without requiring the CD in the drive. There is also a utility for the Microsoft Pinball game that allows you to bypass it's menu and launch directly to each table from your menu.

Looks great!

That marquee is very, very, very cool. It looks like it came straight from the golden era of arcade cabinets, great design. Congratulations on the successful relocation.
