mikekim Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 quick update fitted the DMD panel also added some 6mm chrome trim to the screen window surround and bottom of the back box for added bling (as if theres not enough already) not happy with the right hand speaker cover as it sits slightly lower than the left... the OCD is kicking in and I'll have to work a solution to fix it.. the current to-do list... PC Griffin Powermate volume control setup (global volume control) DOF config setup CAB BODY USB connector Ethernet connector central playfield support (with BC contactor attached) wiring tidyup (anything that has been missed) playfield installation playfield glass installation chrome side rail fitment (these need to be cut down to size, as my cab is shorter than standard) BACKBOX Fan controller installation rear access door for backbox wiring tidy up right hand speaker alignment If it all goes well I might actually get this finished by Xmas.. After all i've only been working on this project (off and on) for... wait for it... 855 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Slacker! I have a feeling it will take me just as long to build a minipin with no toys in it. Next year, maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikekim Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 So what's next : ) How about you running VP on your cab now you have a better gfx card than that 610 .. My journey is nearly complete.. It's time for you to carry the torch to the next level.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekim Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 update installed playfield and glass. ended up using the original side rails as one of the chrome ones had a wicked bend in it, so will have to pickup some replacements at some point. just a quick couple of low quality camera phone shots and a better play video. (no shakes this time..) underside of cab showing led lighting, volume control and power button (on removable motherboard tray). video was done using a tripod.. still havent got around to installing DOF, that will have to wait until after Xmas now.. must learn for future reference to watch the pinball table rather than the camera video preview when playing..

monkeychunkuk Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 challenge excepted Mike ! That's just amazing the lower DMD works so well,so many cool things get missed during game play Now come on I know you don't like FP "feel" But the Ironman table and and new yet to be released Star Trek the movie table would look and play so well on your table !!!

mikekim Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 dont get me wrong, i do like FP, and it has some good tables, but they just don't play quite right, compared to VP tables. i've got ironman on VP.. star trek is coming.. AC/DC has just been released as well... go take a look at VPUniverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizam33 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 WOW, I said it before and I will say it again. Your attention to detail is truly the best. It seems like everything is custom on you cab. Freakin nice work! Is it transportable for shows? Take her to a expo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes pretty much everything on the cab is custom.. it can be broken down.. the back box connections are all on Molex connections and can be separated if required. The pc is on a removable tray, so when it's moved the water cooling doesn't get damaged. As for taking it to expos.. I wish I had the time to attend them otherwise I would..

monkeychunkuk Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Mike you need to take that to play expo in Manchester ! I have van to fit it in you also get a great chance to play actual pinbal tables Sent from the smut hut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwArcade Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Awesome, truly one of the best! The details and the chrome trim throughout. The color balance and form on the artwork is pro grade. The layout and symmetry works like it should in a movie poster. I could spend hours just looking at the cabinet never mind playing games. The DMD is probably the best config I've seen yet. It's one of the reasons I love my P2k but I like this layout better. Looks to be in the right place and have that 100% visual feel of classic arcade gaming. The dropped placement almost makes your eye want to go there. Love to play it to know how that works within the games. The Backbox too. Wow, those curved edges with the trim. Like a custom car or motorcycle quality fitting to get the trim and decals to work seamless. Awesome all the way around. Thanks for sharing!!

mikekim Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well... here's a Necro bump and a half... the last update on this build was over 4.5 years ago.... Basically the machine has been in storage for the best part of 3 years... As I never really got around to finishing it... yes it was playable, but i never installed the force feedback software and RGB controls.. So I've decided to revisit the "scene of the crime" and maybe this time get it completed. Looking at the machine overall its held up quite well. the artwork is still immaculate, it has a slight peel back on the edges where the lock-down bar was fitted, but no big issue to fix.. the PC on the other hand looks a mess.. the watercooling fluid has separated and most of it has evaporated, so it looks like I'll be draining and flushing the system. the system used to look like this... So I've ordered some new fluid and a cleaning kit, along with some hardline tubing (as the soft stuff was so 5 years ago). I also have a PIN DMD 3 that's been sat in its box for years that I could use to replace the original DMD. So stay tuned for the next update which hopefully wont be as long.... Mike.
