Homemade Pinball Machine

This is the latest in my attempt to create a low budget pinball machine. Using a PC and a few arduino's along with my own driver board. The cabinet and some components are from a Data East Secret Service. This is an ongoing hobby that is no where near complete. I have to give credit to my wife Debbie for the creation of Altair the alien, hopefully more toys to come.

You gotta love the magic that Arduinos can do! Great job!

Thanks, yeah I think he designs the best games. I have a No Fear that I probably will never let go. I also had a STTNG but let that one go to make some room for projects.

Very good work!!

Love that subway shot and kickout mech. It's so fast, how many balls are you using?

[@GF-ok5yn]

Thanks, not sure if I can get multi ball working reliably . However I use two balls, one is always waiting to be pitched out. The balls alternate.

Wow! This looks rad as hell, where are you at?

[@GF-ok5yn]

Thanks, Toronto Canada where pinball is becoming more popular as compared to say 10 years ago.

Awsome

[@alessandrogiuliani2915]

How much did you pay in total?

[@GF-ok5yn]

This is low budget, bought donor game about 8 years ago for about $600, the rest of the stuff, computer, arduino's, plywood, sheet metal , LED lights, etc. is probably no more than $1500. So total is $2100 Cdn.
