[escuco]

May I introduce my Visual Pinball Cab "escucos Little Joe", built from a 42 years old original Bally "Little Joe" Pinball, which was scrapped by his previous user? It took me about 6 months to finish this project.

 

Some details:

• Samsung 40 inch LED TV as playfield
• 28 inch LED monitor as backglass
• orange LED Dotmatrix-Display DMD 128x32 pixel
• PC hardware Intel Core i5-4670 on Asus mainboard H87-Pro with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD hard disc, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 graphic board
• Logitech Z4 soundsystem with Subwoofer
• LedWiz controller board for force feedback
• 8 contactors for the simulation of the bumper, slingshots and flipper finger right/left
• Original Williams Replay knocker
• Shaker Motor per Dual-H-Bridge PWM Driver at the Ledwiz
• 4 meter HighPower LED stripes with bright white LEDs as strobe on the under- and backside of the pinball cabinet
• 5 RGB Flasher LEDs above the playfield
• 4 Arctic-Cooling PC fans (two on the bottoms of the cab for the incoming air, two up on the backbox for the outgoing air)
• PinAna1 control board for connecting a analog plunger, with acceleration sensor for analog nudging and tilt function
• iPac control board for connecting the pinball buttons, magnasave buttons, Coin-, Start, Extra Ball and Exit buttons
• Illuminated buttons and coin slots
• 3 separate power supplies (computer power supply, 12 volt, 24 volt)
• about 80 meter cable
• current about 40 installed pinball tables, rising from week to week
