   VPX Conversion 1/21/2025 by Polsonator2

I have converted another awesome 50's woodrail table originally made in VP9 by PBecker1946 and Itchigo.  To release the ball after inserting a coin, push the RightMagnaSave button (if you want to map a different button you can alter this in the script under the key codes).

Thanks go to Itchigo and PBecker1946 for creating this awesome table in VP9.  I have taken their original table and gave it a VPX makeover/conversion. I have taken PBecker's original image for the playfield and upscaled it to 4K, and I also did a ton of manual work to it cleaning it up, grafting better image details to the playfield, and various painting.  I tried to fix details to make it look as nice as I could.  I also incorporated into the table, as well as upscaled plastics, cleaned up and redidthe apron and instruction card, some screws, physics that I think match how I like on 50's woodrails I have played, materials changes, and I changed the wood to higher res different textures.  I also updated a lot of the script, especially regarding the lighting events of the bumpers, etc.  Fixed the Tilt not working.  Completely redid bumper lighting in VPX format.   Added things where needed, and removed unneeded script code.  I created a lot of the new images used in the plastics as well.  I also did this conversion for cabinet play so it may not be fully perfect for someone that plays on a desktop pc view, etc. 

Included in the zip file is a wheel I created, a cabinet view POV file, a dmd image I created, an updated backglass with a more clear image, and commentary about the table history written by the original author PBecker1946.
