Williams Eager Beaver from 1965. My favorite machine as I grew up playing it, my first VPX table.

I own the physical machine so sourced most of the images myself and redrew (traced) the playfield in Photoshop.

Thanks to JPSalas for letting me use his Big Star table as a template.

¡Gracias!

Nice job. In the video, the ball appears to be slower than on the Vpx table. Maybe it’s just a bad appreciation on my part. Say that I am writing with a translator, because I am Spanish and I don’t know English. I appreciate your work! … ?

Yeah it will hit higher speeds in vpx at times. The physical machine is on a pretty weak slope making it pretty slow. The bumpers are similar as are the kickers.

VERY cool!  Thanks so much for spending the time creating and sharing this.  Artwork by Art Stenholm!  Wow, that guy worked with a lot of different styles.  And this is some bizarre styling here.  Thanks @brandonkelley for bringing this to vp life!

Just figured this stuff out recently…sort of..  That’s ‘LUTmandolin’ plugged in for that pic.  @vogliadicane has shared a whole library of ‘luts’ to help get things toned better.

This is a really fun table.  I’ve been playing it for a while tonight and you get some funky ball bounces and can grab a ball out of the drain area sometimes.

Thanks again for your creation!

Yeah those drain bounces are always fun, just like the real table. You can sometimes hit the ball on the downward swing of the flipper to bounce off the center post or the angled drain rubbers.

Thanks Man please can you release one Wheel Image with the Words-only ?
I can’t cut from BG because you made the Lights on the Image directly, instead of Lights in directb2s …

And Flipper Primitives should be with Material: Plastic .. or any others, to change the Pink Style

Fatastic work. Thanks for sharing! I changed the slope to 4 from 5.6 and it slowed down the table a bit. Super impressive for your first table. Very fun to play.

Great table!  One minor issue I noticed on the backglass.  When starting a 2 player game, the number 2 doesn’t light up in the “1 or 2 can play” area.
