    some oddities:
    Pay extra to buy an instant multiball game on Judge Dredd.
    Games with bonus time, such as most Zaccarias awarding a timed ball based on how many targets you hit.
    Time Fantasy deducts points if you fail to shoot the lit loop and end up shooting the unlit loop.
    Safe...

    As for plans, I’ve based things off a Williams wide body plan that I found somewhere and modified it to fit a 32” Tv for the back box. Other plans I did up were for the acrylic for the back box and a custom sized piece of tempered glass with black vinyl sticker to hide wiring etc.

    Totally. Fishtales has a good sized hole for the caster rod handle but TAF as a triangle of sorts for plunger.

    If and when someone does them full time it would have to be game specific in a lot of cases. Especially the front face. I have also heard of a CV that had the hinge bolt holes...

    I ended up actually building 2 cabs. The first one I gave to a friend who helped me with the carpentry work. It was originally a Windows 7 Pro machine but I ran into some stability problems. It had nothing to do with the OS just some bad parts but I ended up blowing it all away and going to Windows...

    Yep, have to agree with that. For example the flipper holes in early WPC games like FT, TAF, GI are in a different location to later games like RS, FS,

    Add to that the wpc95 games have the rear leg bolts in a different height so not one size fits all....

    Hi - I wrote a Williams Pinball Emulator (https://playfield.dev/) and thought that I could use my emulator as source to build fantastic looking art print. At least I like them - up to you to decide

    Anyway I sell them at http://concealed-art.com/

    As for plans, I’ve based things off a Williams wide body plan that I found somewhere and modified it to fit a 32” Tv for the back box. Other plans I did up were for the acrylic for the back box and a custom sized piece of tempered glass with black vinyl sticker to hide wiring etc.
