wolfsoft Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Hi Chris, the parallel way is looking good to power the backbox and playfield flashers at the same time. You can do some cooling with a metalplate on the resitors and use the same glue as for the cree's GREAT WORK!
maxxsinner Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Nice work Chris. Love the inline fuses for everything.

Darkfall Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Hi, Chris, Looking fantastic! Great attention to detail! It looks like you're planning to put the playfield display lower down, like a real machine's playfield would be, and have the glass above at the steeper angle. That's a deviation from your previous build, where you put the display right up at the top, against the glass. Is there a reason you chose to do it this way this time? I am about to start my cabinet build, and started wondering which way is better before I start cutting and routing. By the way, I love the routed slots for the display, so you can just slide it in from the back - very nice! Thanks, Chris. ...Paul Check out Wildfire Pinball's build details here: Project Wildfire
chriz99 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 thanks for your kind words, guys! yes, this time I want to lower down the playfield monitor like a real machine. the idea comes from mameman's fantastic build. I think it adds "the illusion" of more depth, when you mount the playfield lower... and you can add some cool inhouse flashers (see gstav's build for some example vids). maybe the viewing angles are not as good as on-top-mounting, but should be compensated by the awesome viewing angles of new LCD generations. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
chriz99 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 next steps... drilled some holes (countersinked) for the bottom-buttons and flashers: 2 bottom-flasher for cool take-off effect (worlds brightest LED: cree xm-l, 1000lumen each, like a 100w bulb) flasher mounting/frame subwoofer mounting/frame holes for the legs (was a PITA ) cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
