It is pretty loud on all the Stern and Ballys from this era. No idea how to control the volume, I’m afraid. Maybe someone else has figured it out? Certainly isn’t an option in the ROM.

Grrreat. There is a schematic available, too to help with any unclear logic:

I’m not the best at reading these but guys like loserman76 and scottacus are pros.

Wow, man. Joker! I’m with @jfr1. That is a really exciting one. Can’t have enough Zales.

San Francisco has a lot of similarities to Moulin Rouge, which is a personal favorite Williams from the mid-60s.

Great stuff coming up!

Not at all, metric is the same. Just do it mm accurate at 150 or 200 dpi. That will give you plenty of resolution to work with.

I recommend actual size 20.25″ x 42″ at 150 or 200 dpi for working on assets, then scale down to 4k-ish before bringing the textures into VP.

Very cool. Thank you!

Dang, man. Really pretty.

Hi Bord

Thanks for this amazing table, always one of my favourites.

Multiball is working fine here, latest versions of everything.

Is there any specific reason the ball shadows are flickering?

Ive switched them off for now as its a bit distracting

It’s a depth bias conflict with transparent layers, most likely the playfield…[Read more]

Love the Zaccarias. Thank you!

Love it. Great project! Looking forward to seeing it progress.

Nice work with the art. Looks great!

Thank you, looks & plays brilliant! For my taste I had to color the insert lights a little bit. During fast gameplay i was not able to see if a light is lit or not and did not know which shot to go best. Maybe its my poor display. Now, with a little colored lights I will play this version a lot! Thx!!

This would be my only creative…[Read more]

Isn’t the recent Dr Who update already a VR ready table?

@jonosborne, were you ever able to get scans/photos of this?

Indeed! My parents just happened to be passing through IL on the very day that this was posted for sale in Rockford, IL, 4 hours from my place. I asked if they could swing by and pick it up on their way to Saint Louis. Knowing how quickly pins go these days, and this being a fairly rare Zale wouldn’t help the matter, it was extremely providential.

@jfr1, didn’t we solve the Comet post thing? Sorry, thought we had gotten to the bottom of it.

Seems that placement of that post varies depending on operator discretion. I have mine at the moderate placement, though I normally keep VP games set at conservative. Liberal setting would place it where you are seeing it in those photos.

Oh thought it was closer. I am looking at a surf champ that is an hour from me. Man I knew I loved the north, there are so many pinballs for sale up here

I hope you get it. Fun stuff and if you don’t like it you can always trade it for something else.

Look what I picked up a couple weeks back. Purchased as a project but up and running within a day or two thanks to scottacus. A few odds and ends to work on yet but so nice to have a playable EM in the house again.

Much like the VPX version, this game is not for the ill-tempered. Hard as nails but can be mastered with persistent nudging.

New labels are stapled in place and the head is complete. Now a whole lot of metal cleaning and de-rusting as the cabinet goes back together.

2.5 hours. Just a touch too far for a pinball pickup. Spot Pool/Bankshot is a fun game!
