It's beginning to look a lot like... pinball!

Yes indeed, it does now, doesn't it?

Now first here's the schematic for all the drillings of the front the cab.

Drilling plan

Plunger holes

Flipper and Magna Save button holes

Took a good while until we got that one finished. Actually it all went more like bit by bit than finishing the schematic first and then do the happy drilling. Was a whole lot of comparing pics of other custom cabs because it's a very subjective thing where one wants to put all the buttons and should they be rectangular or round.

We decided to go for rectangular ones for all buttons except the start button. And we put them quite close to the upper edges of the coindoor. The holes for the plunger look like they were a little deeper, hence the bracket of the plunger exceeds the holes, so the upper edge of the bracket is in fact at the same height as the button in row to the left.

Last time we told you to measure twice, cut once. It should be three times instead of twice, as you can see on the coin door. Cut too much, fixed it up with left over MDF, the filler will do the rest.

Everything cut / drilled

The parts we used for our pinball machine were all purchased from www.vpin-shop.de, the rectangular buttons and the start button are from www.arcadeshop.de.

The original Williams coindoor was the priciest part hence this one is fully functional and to keep even closer to an orginal pinball machine we decided to invest even a bit more for two coin checking devices.
