              I just found this table-  awesome work Randr!  I sort of see my pincab as a “Museum of pinball” in my home so I try to find all the good tables I can from all eras.  This is the earliest table in it, and quite cool indeed!

              Thanks!

                  Worlds Fair is one of the most unique tables and I always load it when someone sees my cab for the first time.  I grew up with an antique table top marble-shooter version of this style of game and am desperately trying to find it.

                  Gwen, your Victorian/Regency?/Steam Punk Tesla creation is amazing.  I came across your wip when I was about 3/4 done with mine and showed your pics to my ‘crew’ and jaws dropped.  While mine was a ‘get it done and get playing!!’ project, yours is one for the ages.  Your intricate detail and inlays are amazing.  While mine is a rudimentary build, when I came across a handful of tokens I had stashed away from my old arcade days and wondered what to do with them, I thought of your build and decided to mount/display them on my apron.  Thanks for the inspiration and wow…your cab is a work of art.

                    And WOW!  This table is perfect for your Tesla cab.  Make a video!  Thanks for bumping this up.

                      Thanks for your kind words JR.  I am humbled by them.  I just try to do things a bit differently from everyone else and to do the best I possibly can at whatever I do.  I definitely don’t always satisfy myself but as they say “perfect is the enemy of better” and I guess I am sort of cursed with being a perfectionist, knowing I will never achieve perfection.  I am pretty pleased with the way my cabinet turned out though.  And tables like this one let it shine even more =)

                        “perfect is the enemy of better”   curious phrase that I don’t think I’ve read before.  Like it.     cripes…Voltaire.  Perfect!  That was sneaky of you.

                        Not to go too sideways here, but as a fan of Tesla, you’re probably aware of The Current War movie that got sidelined?  Will finally be released this October.

                          I think the original actual quote was “perfect is the enemy of good” but I have heard it a lot from skilled crafts-people as I said it originally.  I’m not really sure where it came from in the first place.

                            I think the quote is actually “Perfect is the enemy of Done”, basically to say that attempts to achieve a perfect result/product can (and does) prevent a project from being delivered.

                              Hm.  Love the intellectual discussion!  But anyone hopping on this thread now wants to see a vid of Worlds Fair on the Tesla.

                                  Not sure what input i need to map to get the power lift?

                                   

                                  edit: figured it out.  My setting werent saving (restart).

                                    If you can get the balls to load, try hitting 2 on a keyboard if you have one hooked up.  Works on my end …I haven’t mapped lift to a button on the cab.  Hope you get it running.  Just tap stuff!  I feel this randr creation is one of the most fascinating things I have on my cab.

                                      Ha!  You figured it out while I was typing.  What was your solution?

                                        Look in the keydown sub – if it uses numbers, try changing it to any of those. I prefer right magna safe for anything “extra”.
