Brand new 25year old MM


Recommended Posts

Ive been out of the pinball hobby for about 10 years now, having sold all my machines and drifted off.

But I have meet some damn good people over the years, one of them being Yee Fong. Yee and I stayed in touch and I still did the Pincade shirt designs for him and caught up for a beer and a cheeky game.

Sadly it took loosing my good mate Yee to get me think about owning a pinball machine again.

Over the years Yee and I discussed the NBA to MM conversions and at one stage both where going to do it, buying NBA's. Yee brought 2 MM playfields to do it. 

I thought it would be a great project to finish what we talked about. So I brought one of Yees MM playfields and an NBA and started buying parts.

Problem being I actually have grown to like NBA

and so do the kids. ....

 

So Ive decided to build an entire MM from parts NEW/NOS and a couple of used bits. With the rerun machines its seams all the parts that put us off are now available Wire forms, metal guides etc. There have also been a couple of people document MM builds with amazing detail and have kindly offered help and guidance.

 

So to eat an elephant with the tail, T-Nuts

Definitely following this thread! Can't wait to see the final finish.

Where did you buy the WPC-95 transformer... looks brand new ? ... I know they are hard to find these.... like hens teeth.

I had the PCB backing plate laser cut from stainless and today the stand offs arrived.

The standoffs are  hard to get, Pinballparts just dropped their price to match Marco so Aussie is the best place to get them at the moment

Lots of things have been happening in background, Malcolm as been making up a cabinet for me. Have lots of cabinet parts now on the way, coin-door, siderail etc.

The playfield is finally on the rotisserie another one of Malcolm's bits of handy work, borrowed from Mike

I’ve been busy lately building a place for us to live in our workshop so MM was on the back burner. I’m getting close with the cabinet now. I fitted the ground strap and wiring, transformer and power box
