      Thanks, @gwen. The B2S is darker than normal for two reasons. I pushed it darker than normal since it has that lighted back plate that I wanted to highlight and also disguise the weak resolution of the image. The second reason is that I built it remotely and didn’t test on a calibrated monitor and it came out darker than I wanted. The thought of redoing all the snippets, including the door animation, made me want to throw my computer out the window so I left it. I really hate making EM backglasses.

      Hehe, no worries, the table is beautiful =)

        Tried a few different versions of vpx – NOT seeing what 3rdaxis posted. And my newest version is 3721. Just haven’t updated yet on the cab.

                Good ears Thalamus!  I thought that I had put bell sounds into the table because the table has two bells, a small bell on the left wall in the cab and a big bell in the left side of the head.

                I’ve submitted a new version to Bord that has nice bright sounding bell sounds in it to replace the junky sounding Williams chime sounds.  The Williams units have the support holes bored in the same location on each chime bar so the low pitch bars just go clunk because the holes are not located at a node for the bar while the high pitched bar sounds good because they accidentally hit the nodes on that one.  Gottlieb units are engineered correctly so all the bars ring out nicely.  I’ve owned two Williams units and the recording of the chimes is from my Tropic Fun table.

                No one has found the Easter Egg that I hid in the table??  It is very obvious once you trigger it.

                BTW no cheating by  looking through the code, you can trigger it by messing around with the table. B-)

                  Really enjoying this table.  Love the easter egg……..totally awesome I must say.  Yes, the BRD highscore is hard to get near.  Closest I’ve managed in hour of play is 1085…….will keep trying.  Nice job…….

                      Nice job Teahaus on finding it!

                      When Bord asked me about doing the table the first thing that I thought of was one of my favorite tracks off of Electric Ladyland album, Cross Town Traffic.  I couldn’t get the tune out of me head so I asked him if I could put it in as an Easter egg.  Did you notice that Jimi pops out of the subway car as well while the song is playing!

                        Made the whole game just that much better to me!!  I’m a guitar player so Jimi is like god around here………good idea!!  Nice job by both you and Bord.

                            Thanks for this table, a lot of detail put on it. I found the easter egg on the first play by accident pushing the right magnasave button. I’m still trying to catch the 1200 score, but I’m getting close.

                              Very nice, bord :good:

                              I only get a very loud and longer Sound-Effect on Ball Release … like a “small Rocket” ;-)

                                    Outstanding! The 3D depth of the table is unbelievable! For me one of the most important things on a table. Beautyfull lighting!

                                    Thanks!!

                                      Can’t agree with Schreibi34 more. It is an absolute jewel.

                                        wow!  :heart:
                                        pretty table from the 60’s, :good:
                                        the lighting looks great, the game style of the pinballs of that time offered ease to play and understand the rules, but difficulty to make high scores,
                                        very good job, thank you bord, scottacus & all who have collaborated  :bye:

                                          Just spending time with this now and WOW…thanks Bord and Scottacus.  My older brother had this pin in his off-campus house back in the 70’s.  I’d visit and be amazed how someone had a pinball machine in their house.  And now? .. I have a Krynski pin in my house and next to it my VP cab with 200 (and growing daily) games.  Love the play of this and also the worn-in look.

                                          Looking forward to finding the Easter Egg!!     Thanks guys.  This is fun/magical stuff.  Thalamus called this table a jewel and that is dead on balls accurate.
