launch_14 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hi there! I´d like to build a virtual pinball with a 48" Samsung screen... ... because I have an empty pinball cabinet from "Gottlieb": Mars - God of War --> http://tinyurl.com/nc3lm3e This cabinet is an extrem widebdody: The playfield measures ~ 24.01 inches (= 61cm) The complete cabinet wide is ~ 25.59 inches (= 65cm) I tried to fit in my Samsung 46" (!) ... BUT I can throw it COMPLETELY (with original case) (!) INTO the cabinet... ... and still have ~1cm space on both sides I did not like the look very much... --> http://tinyurl.com/lfnjwwk What if I buy a new 48" Samsung and decase it? --> It is ~24.80 inches (= 63cm) wide WITH it´s case... How small it will become, if I decase it??????? I am sure it would be much nicer!!!!! --> http://tinyurl.com/qggbxja I am a little bit confused, that I can´t find an existing 48" pinball cab.... Do I miss something??? Will it work fine? What do you think??? Thanks for advice, regards, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckydogg420 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Why can't you cut a 1cm slot in the cabinet sides and leave the tv in its case? Should work, and look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launch_14 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hey Luckydogg420! Thanks for the input! I would love to insert the playfield from above: a) I like the idea, that I could remove the playfield easily ( I don´t want to "nail" it inside the cab) ----> I could access all the parts inside the cab, e.g. PC, Speakers, etc. If I decase the tv, it is easier to have the original plunger and the buttons in a fine height (not too low installed).

launch_14 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 .... mmmhhhh... I wonder if other cab builders "nail" or "glue" or "fix" their playfield monitor into the cab with no easy way to take it out again some day...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launch_14 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 ... I have seen a pinball cab where the owner inserted the playfield from above: It was a little bit tricky and he had to cut into the wood on one side a little bit more. Then he could insert the playfield first with a special angle on ONE side, and then on the other side... I can´t find the post anymore... Does anybody has a link to this project...???? (I thougt it was a builder in Germany !?) Thanks, Andy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
