electricmagma Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 So, i've found that its virtually impossible to tilt my machine, unless i actually manhandle the nudge unit and flip it on its side... i was thinking of making some sort of mount for the nudge unit. i envision something along the lines of a "bobblehead" type mount. just need to make it stiff enough to not sway alot. Anyone else toyed with something like this?
zebulon Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Just get a tilt bob...$14.00 from pinball life.
electricmagma Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Lol. That's the easy way. I guess
Content Provider Itchigo Posted January 17, 2015 Content Provider Posted January 17, 2015 I have a tilt bob laying around the house. If I hooked it to a sidewinder, would I be able to enable it on a global level? Or would I have to go into each table like my plunger?
zebulon Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 You just connect it to the ipac and assign that input to the keyboard equivalent for tilt input (I don't remember the actual key that it corresponds to and I haven't got vp here on this craptop.) Pretty sure I have a tilt bob somewhere around the shop Tim, if I can find it I'll let you know.
Content Provider Itchigo Posted January 17, 2015 Content Provider Posted January 17, 2015 I have one thanks. I just wasn't sure the best way to use it. What's Tapatalk?
Content Provider Itchigo Posted January 17, 2015 Content Provider Posted January 17, 2015 What I wanted to do was connect the end of the control let to the tilt Bob like I did with my plunger. What's Tapatalk?
zebulon Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 LOL...should have considered that there were 2 Tim's in the conversation...I was referring to ElectricMagma.... You could hang it from the joystick but why bother? Just connect the output of it to the ipac and trigger the "T" key with it (am at the shop computer now so I could look it up).
Content Provider Itchigo Posted January 17, 2015 Content Provider Posted January 17, 2015 Sorry Jeb, I didn't know. I knew there was something about EM I liked. I only got into this because of the title "Nudge Idea". Nudging and contactors/relays are what I really have left- except for cosmetics.
zebulon Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 It's all good, the more the merrier. I wasn't really expecting you to swing by the shop for a $10.00 tilt bob but your more than welcome to any time.... EM's just up the road from me.
Content Provider Itchigo Posted January 19, 2015 Content Provider Posted January 19, 2015 It's not like I haven't been around, just not in a long time. I used to drive a truck through Canada (Ontario to Ajax) all the time 20 years ago.
zebulon Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 You were just down the road then, I'm in Whitby, about 10 minutes from Ajax...
Content Provider Itchigo Posted January 19, 2015 Content Provider Posted January 19, 2015 I used to go to the Chrysler plant in Ajax (if it's still there). Now I remember the town Whitby. Took a minute.
electricmagma Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 two tims. odd.. i almost made my screen name Itchigo.....ok , not really Ill hopefully be allowed out to come see ya soon Steve. I've been hunkered down in the studio making a Pinball themed record Not only did we lift the "multiball', we lifted the riff right after it (shhh don't tell) haha
zebulon Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 LMAO....that's awesome!!! You really should get some blacklight posters and a lava lamp for down there for vids like that.... How long until it comes out? (I ask as it takes about 3 months longer for it to hit torrent so I can download it.... )
electricmagma Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Lol. I am not done recording yet, so I am sure the torrents are already out there.
electricmagma Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Should be ready to release in a month or so
