Just a reminder that tonight’s VECTOR Committee meeting will be at 7pm. Members, non-members, curious bystanders welcome. Issues to discuss:

How to participate in DMS open house event on the 24th?

Promoting DMS/VECTOR at Texas Pinball Festival 2015

Live pinball cam! Promotional tool for DMS.

Museum display project ideas & challenges.

Stalled MAME project (is not playable… needs to be ASAP or moved since no active work for months)

Status of existing projects and new switchboard game

Acquisition of parts tumbler and other desired tools to place upon external-facing DMS tool shelf.

Signs for VECTOR and individual “playable/not playable” ones for games.

What kinds of common storage needed within VECTOR for consumables and parts/tools?

Brief discussion of Pinball Expo in California - January 16-18. Will attend and promote DMS/VECTOR there.

Whatever cool and new stuff that has your interest these days. :smile:

Sounds like a great agenda.

Could we also add a way to put switchable power in our area?
I’m thinking an octopus extension cord with a box that has 4 or 6 light switches on it. That way we don’t have people diving under machines to plug and unplug the older machines without switches, or the machines in repair that have broken switches.

Here is my idea for a laser cut sign for a topper. The dash circle would be attached with a magnet, or some kind of hook to be added and cut out of a different color acrylic. The light grey I would suggest be etched or vinyl cut.

What do you think?

How many would we like to have?
I think starting with 6 would be nice. and allow for 1 or 2 extra. I’ll pick up plastic and cut these, just need some committee money.
Also, any suggestion on color of plastic? I did a grey so it stood out on the what background, but I think any translucent color would be cool and would allow for lighting in the future. So I’m open to suggestions.
