This is going to be good! Will you be building a back box to house the small monitor? Metal side rails and red illuminated buttons would have me drooling!

You have to manually configure the playfield and backbox to fit the monitors. The end result is pretty cool!

Is it the same configuration for each table or do you have to configure one at a time? Have you tried VpinMame with that configuration?

You have to configure each table to fit each screen. Its kind of a pain, but worth it. As for VpinMame I think you can have the backbox with a digital readout of the score and whatever else goes on. I'm not sure if it shows the whole translite like Future pinball.

Here is an update on the table. I mounted the 22" play field monitor, drilled all of the button holes and made a small apron and back box lower cover. I'm going to try and build the back box this weekend.

I want one! My wife says no more projects after the jukebox is done. We'll see about that.

I just start making it and when my wife asks what is that, I just give a quick reply and she walks away. She has learned that I can not help myself and will always be starting a new project! Fight the POWER!

looking sharp D.
Projects? Ha Ha the Mrs. has been happy I actually worked on the house a little. I installed a range hood that actually vents outside, and replaced the antique lights in the kitchen with can lights and brushed nickel fixture. It looks like a newer kitchen already, I still need to replace her cabinets. I can stall that until I get the lumber kiln dried, We just had it sawed late this fall.
I am looking into a solar kiln plans, from Virginia Tech. Cheap way to get the wood dried.

There are 11 buttons needed just to play in Future Pinball for various machines and the rest that are on top are for the front end and other service buttons. The button colors will be changing once I can afford more of them!

I'm using an IPac from Ultimarc. This is the first time I've used one and so far so good.

I have three ultimarc controllers and have never had an issue with one. They are built solid and work great.

I'm going to buy a Mag Stick plus for my Bartop Arcade. I wanted something switchable from the top. Chris did you sell yours?
