C-57D Pop bumper


Recommended Posts

I'm just playing with ideas while putting pennies away to finish Thomas.

The flying saucer from the movie Forbidden Planet as a pop bumper cap.[emoji16]

It'll be motorised so it spins. I'm planning on fitting the pop bumper to a rotating disc set in the playfield so the saucer looks like it's flying in circles.[emoji16]1cd06bbbbfdcb56975b2e8cf0f5c601b.jpg

Why spin the pop bumper and not just the saucer?

You would have to have wipers for; Common,Coil drive,switching,and lighting.

Also to get a decent effect of spinning it would need to go pretty fast .. it would probably make a good

shaker motor is my guess.

looks good though.

I'm putting a motor in the pop bumper body to spin the ufo. The motor runs at 68rpm and will be connected to the spring.

Just tinkering at the moment, I don't even have a cabinet for this one, yet.[emoji6]

I realise I'll need wiper contacts and it'll be interesting to see how much wobble I get from the whole thing.

I've got an idea on how to drive the turntable the bumper will mount on too but that'll have to wait.

Cheers Trev.
