Hey folks, check out our event this Thursday: https://calendar.dallasmakerspace.org/events/view/15989
Let’s round up spare pinball parts that would be useful for educational purposes once we can begin exhibiting at festivals again. We’ve got some in VECTOR, but also consider bringing any you’re willing to part with. We can make these exhibits using our parts and spare misfit 10x10 cuttings to show off things like score reels, stepper relays, pop bumpers, flippers, drop targets, and/or whatever else that is useful or cool that we have lying around.
Considerations:
- Exactly what to build, and how many
- Mounting hardware to hold these displays off the table so they can move freely & unencumbered
- Mounting hardware & fasteners for the parts to the boards
- Power - need a free 24VAC power supply for the solenoids (or if running on DC, find the appropriate voltage by http://ecmweb.com/content/using-ac-coils-dc-power and regulate as needed)
There’s a chance to gain from this valuable templates that could be used to produce custom games, as the mountings and holes need to be precision drilled to get the part in exactly the right spot.
