Awesome. I really enjoyed your budget build thread, it was a big part of what made me start my own build. I’m making videos of my build and putting them on YouTube – I’ll make a separate post so I don’t hijack yours. But what you were saying about it being a table top chimed with what I was intending to do with mine. Even though I was building in a slightly larger case (27″ playfield) I have to on the idea of making it a table top. I just couldn’t see how I was going to fit everything inside, especially on my first go at a pinball.
Really intrigued to see if you manage it!
Good luck!
Do you have a build thread? Go ahead and share a link to your channel here. I’d love to see your bar top build for some inspiration.
Fitting everything inside will be a little tricky, but I think it’ll be manageable. I’ll have to remove the PC from the case and support the graphics card somehow. But I don’t think it’ll be too difficult. Here’s one possibility.
I didn’t include the audio amps because they are just two very small circuit boards. I’m planning to mount them behind the backglass with the volume knobs poking out the back panel for easy sound adjustment. But I think everything else is there. The PSU is the only piece I’m worried about. To lay it out like this I’d have to be sure the whole thing is tall enough for the flipper buttons to clear it. I guess I could also swap it with the pinscape if I had to.
I decided not to go the bartop route in the end. I just couldn’t get my head around how it was all going to fit together, I might revisit it on a future build after I have stripmined your thread for all the information ;)
Here’s my build so far. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXlzLUL8ziTg9CrHM7ygN7-oqNUX5aQEz
I’m trying to put up episodes every week. Be warned – it is not a guide or tutorial! I’m learning as I go and all my mistakes are included. :)
