I'm up to 400 different tables in my full sized one now...spend more time playing than I do loading tables these days.

What's your setup for this?

Some older pics that don't have all the latest mods, I'll take some new shots this weekend. But you will get the idea.... For perspective the ceilings are 10', the top of the beacons is a little under 8' from the floor..




Added more strobes, beacons, LEDS, etc...







The Spaghetti factory that makes it all go!


pushed a couple of older video's to youtube that I had taken a while back..custom video backglass and stuff..I have the orginal backglass artwork for all the tables that I can turn on, but the video are more fun/

I told the Mrs. I spent a little over $1K...(yup I lied).

A lot I already had on hand, all 3 of the displays (then upgraded the playfield from 1080 to 4K), the computer was an old esxi host, I started with a Radeon 580 GPU, that was plenty before the 4K display. The cabinet is mostly 3/4 oak and birch plywood I had on hand. The legs, lockdown bar, coin door and such are all new old stock. Some of the electronics I had laying around. The flipper and control buttons I had left over from my cocktail table Mame arcade build.

All told you could probably build it from scratch for 2K. Or less, depends on what you want. Guessing a couple weeks I went from and idea to a functioning table, I've been adding this or that as the notion strikes....

Next I'm adding 3 more amplifiers and 6 exciters to the cabinet (a pair at the front middle and rear) adding what they call Surround Sound Force Feedback. Mostly because I can, and feeling even more of the sounds as the ball hits things on the playfield.

'Finished' is a word seldom spoken around here.

ETA: On the plus side the software is 100% free!!!

Thanks :) I'm pleased with my progress. those are old pics, I'll get some new pics/videos that show off the menu system and stuff, I mentioned there are about 400 tables loaded so far, everything from the early 1950's tables to the most recent offerings, still have more to add, total should be around 6-700, it's a little tedious setting up each one, but worth it in the end.

Haven't decided on the artwork for the body yet.... but a print shop on speed dial they day I decide.
