Yes. This is how pinball legs are. They are bent outwards for better stabilization on the ground.

[njay]

The Legs are installed !!!

sorry for the bad pics again

Tommorow : Lockdown Bar !

[njay]

Last two things ordered:

1x USB Hub to be mounted on the underside of the cab for easy usb use

1x Site USB Wifi Stick for internet use i am lazy so i don't have to go upstairs to my internet PC

Looking good, you made a very good job!

It's time ago (you ask me that) - what way do you find to install the backglas with the playfield?

[njay]

what way do you find to install the backglas with the playfield?

What do you mean ? i don't understand sorry

here is two new pics

1. with some fan protectors mounted

2. the new lockdown bar due to the gab between my monitor and the cabinet in the front its a little bit bigger then usual

[njay]

It's Finished

the latest addition was a Sharkoon Spin USB hub that i screwed to the underside of the cabinet for easy usb access for my sticks or mouse/keyboard.

Vid:

(the vid is still being processed by youtube so sorry for the grainy picture please wait until youtube finishes converting it)

Looks good, how did u go about making that lockdown bar?

[njay]

a friend of mine own a metal shop

[njay]

here is the pic when i well erm jammed the screw through the casing of the usb hub

[jackal2001]

Thanks for pointing me over here. I'll have to read through it all.

[rosezentrier]

Have I oversee this vid?

- too much work at night.

Is that VP - what you show us there?

Which is it 8 or 9?

...I read about a toritorial in hyperpin. Have search in the folder and found it, that could be the way for me to learn that too (need step for step)

Cool idea to make the pc on - have you connect it direct to your mainboard?

[njay]

Hi M8,

I only run VP9 on my cabinet with VPinmame 2.2 , its really easy to use with UVP server for the backbox i needed some time to research it to but now its easy to add tables etc. i even added some FP tables to the mix to

Yes the usb hub is directly connected to my mobo , really easy like this !

[njay]

sorry to bump this old build thread but something strange happend:

i have two 120 mm fans in the mainbox and after a few hours of play the air it puts out is warm.

in my backbox i don't have any fans its a small space with the monitor and two speakers from logitech installed in there.

past saturday we where playing a lot of medieval madness and suddenly the sound started crackling the same sound if you blew your speakers so i shut of the cabinet

and checked it the next morning now it was fine.... do you think this is a cause of overheating in the backbox?

[kurt]

Most probably lcd's put out alot of hot ambient air.

Was this the first time you have given the cab a hiding?

[njay]

a hiding what do you mean?

[kurt]

running the cab for long periods of time.

[njay]

Yup indeed for 4 hours or so ... so i am guessing the warmth got into the speakers somehow in the backbox? i did not know speakers could get hot and start to crackle

[lettuce]

How far is your plexi away from the front of the LCD?, is the plexi basically sitting right up against the lcd screen?

[njay]

4mm clearence i guess

with 3 holes in the backside of the backbox
