playfield and SketchUp


Today the postman paid us a visit and brought us our playfield.

As previously mentioned we decided to got for the "LG 42LB550V TV", as for its (for a LCD Full-HD TV-set) affordable price of only EUR 300,00. Of course we could have purchased a used one for quite an amount less, but hey, we like to play it safe and prefer to have the convenience of warranty at least for some parts of our future-precious.

Also we received the table legs today, used ones. Got 'em for a reasonable price of EUR 88,00 (shipping included). Haven't unboxed them yet, as soon as we have, pics' ll  follow.

Here's some pics of the TV's box, the playfield itself and me trying out Visual Pinball's Addams Family. So far everything seems to work neatly. I'm very content with the image quality, no ghosting effects a.s.o.











The hubby already took the scales which are

outer frame 560 x 956 mm
inner frame 525 x 930 mm
+ 10 mm in the middle for the LG logo

Knowing the scales the planning of the case was done via SketchUp.

SketchUp is an easy to use CAD-program for, you know, planning stuff. It's available for free right here:

Took only a little while after watching some how-to-vids.

So here's the visualization of the case:
