      This lovely machine came into our art gallery this week, after all, Pinball Machines are “art” right. ;)  Well I certainly think so.

      Only 100 of these machine were produced and it’s believed that only about 40 are left.  The restore is very very nice and it plays like an absolute dream!

      It has quickly become one of my favourite machines to play, as it’s “my era” (early 80’s) and has one of my all time favourite sound schemes (Firepower with a little Flash for good measure)

      It is up for sale but geez I hope it doesn’t sell too quickly. lol

        I’m sure it won’t fly off the shelf… but by then you will be bored with it :)

                  I have an acquaintance who owns one.  Been trying to get together so that I can take reference pics of the pin for a decent vpx author lol.  This has been a more difficult task than expected, still « working on it »

                    I don’t think the person that owns the table will be willing to completely dissemble their table

                    but scans are needed over pictures.

                    early SS tables like this with no special toys can be built in a matter of days.

                    Especially this Williams tables where most of the primitives have been made for other tables

                    with a HQ PF scan I can have a playable table within a few hours.

                    I was able to do this in a few hours

                    the only thing I missing from the script is Solenoid 4; according tot he service manual it runs Flashers.

                    I have no idea how many or where they go.

                    aside from that the code is pretty much done.

                      but scans are needed over pictures.

                      What about really good pictures?  ie 1:1 lifesize @300ppi

                      I realise that we are dealing with lenses and their curvilinear distortion characteristics, but lens profiling/correction can be applied.  Just how super accurate do they need to be?

                        Photos from a pro? Awesome.

                        Cell phone photos? Not awesome.

                        I’ve decided with a few exceptions to not spend time on projects without scanned assets, but there are some convincing reasons to break that rule. A well-photographed Star Light would be one of them.

                          yeah let’s be clear, if this happens, these won’t be scans, no way he let’s me take those plastics off (but I’ll ask!).  Anyway I’ll do my darn best to get some decent pics but the guys is busy, he was in NY last weekend at the pin tourney and managed to place decently.
