Thank you for the compliment! It was under $3000 USD. If I remember correctly: $1300 for the computer, $400 for the playfield monitor, inherited backglass (that would cost less than $100 used now), around $250 for the DIY cabinet (wood, fiberboard, IKEA bookshelf, hardware), $200 for plunger, buttons and wiring (and KL25Z), $500 for solenoid kit and shaker motor, $20 wireless keyboard with touchpad. I also purchased a highest-level membership from one of the VP sites. This would cost a little more now, with inflation and supply issues these days.
I like the machine. I also feel like if you ever wanted to, you could install metal legs pretty easy. I just modded my arcade 1up pinball myself. It seems like the hardest part is the build.
Thank you! I thought about painting metallic-looking stripes on the sides, to make it look like a stack of road cases, but it would look funny near the back. I guess it's a form-follows-function type of cabinet at the moment.
Cool mod, but i think your missing out on the one huge part of virtualpinball and believe it or not it makes up a huge percentage of the community. Alot of us actually like working on the actual machine more then actually playing pinball. I admit 100% ive barely spent 24hours total time in actual gameplay with my pinball, but easily have spent hundreads of hours modding it, adding things, i also do alot of work on the software side. (You got to get that ttackball working on the atari control deck ) i installed all the golden tee golf games up to golden tee fore 2006 (which you need to install on your pc, cant use the pi) and i installed pba pro bowling 2021 on my table. And man if a pinball table isnt the perfect situated screen for golf and bowling games i dont know what is. Lol ive actually played more golf and bowling then pinball ,especially when company comes over. Pinball purists hate when they see me post a video showing , just like you did here, that there are different cool ways of doing things. But of course i got atleast one post saying they dont get it, why play golf on a pinball machine. Im like why not. Some people are just angry and the world. Cool setup , when your video first started i though oh man cool hes got a kegerator or something under there. Lol
I have spent way more time working on it than playing it, JJEA, and I don't want it to be that way anymore. There's only a few more tables (not on VPX or FP yet) that I'd ever want. I do have a few ideas for original tables, which I might start working on soon. Apart from that, all I need is to figure out how to get that kegerator in there!
Interesting machine design.
Nicely done!
Thanks, GCC!
Actually I´m doing a cabinet with angle..without seeing your video :D
Nice!
looks cool 😎
Nice build! So, what’s your total $ investment in the build?

Thanks! No metal legs on this one, not with the bookshelf exoskeleton and the high angle. But I don't want them anyway!
Great build some custom graphic would make sides front complete total multicade
