[CABINET] PinballX

[VPcabs]

Can I get a job?

We're always looking for interns 😜

[Tom Speirs]

Thanks for sharing in my enjoyment guys, and thank you Brad.

Yep, Christmas certainly coming early this year

Certainly looks very special

[randr]

Looks good. But I would expect it to look good from vpcabs.

[stigzler]

Looks fab - very polished + nice finish. Hope it has a safe trip to Blighty

And bloody hell - how expediently did that thing get put together. I'm coming up to nearly 2.5 years on my build, and it still hasn't got plexi or sideart on

Hope you enjoy, Tom - worthy payoff for all those long hours coding.

Going to look great even better sitting next to the EVO Cab

We build custom machines in around 2 weeks. It's all we do here. We are cheating though. We have our own CNC machine, wood shop, powder coater and 5 full time guys at our 6000sf shop ;-)

Meh. I have a hacksaw, some little g-clamps and an 'ammer. Oh and a 6ft x 4ft shed.

Great product + kudos for you guys for making a go of presumably what started out as a hobby and a passion.

So.... driving cab next, Tom? Or maybe a custom built shooter cab.

Yes and thank you. It started in my garage about 3 years ago. We have been very blessed with lots of help and amazing customers. It's far from a huge success but our focus on crazy good customer service has been the key so far.

[tthurman]

I'm sure it comes with it's own struggles as any business, but it must be gratifying doing something your so passionate about for a living. I've been perusing your website, and you guys do some impressive work!

Customer support, what is that? Given the rarity finding that these days, I'm sure it will go a long way towards your success.

[VPcabs]

All boxed up and headed to Casa De La Speirs!!

[stigzler]

Damn - that's a polished product - even down to the cool branding on the box! Kudos to these guys - love people who take pride in the detail...

And yer not allowed to open it till xmas day, Tom, OK? After the smaller presents...

[Adultery]

What's the weight on that? I gotta know!!!

[mpad]

Good for you it comes with pinballX already installed

Looking great! Love the orange

[Tom Speirs]

I just wanted to mention that they also don't cheap out on delivery. Brad told me it is and they ship stuff using FedEx commercial.

[tthurman]

1st class all the way to your doorstep!

[stigzler]

At least if Tom Hanks finds himself on a desert Island again, he'll have something to keep him busy aside from a crappy, cheap football.

[Draco1962]

Castaway would make for a great Pinball FX2 table, with "Wilson" as the pinball.

[VPcabs]

What's the weight on that? I gotta know!!!

With the packaging and all its 240 pounds.

[Adultery]

Yikes! That would be fun to lug up the stairs if there was no elevator! Haha!

[Draco1962]

I think that it would be really cool to see one of the pincabs assembled from start to finish in a time-lapse video, with maybe some commentary thrown in at key stops regarding the process steps, parts, etc. I am impressed at what I have seen so far of the workmanship and detail.

We do have a brand new video on the front page of our website. It shows some of the steps but we can't give all our secrets away ;-). www.VPcabs.com

Sorry, I just stumbled across this thread. Brad's a great guy, he's helping me on my cab. Also worked on a project with him, (don't know if it still needs to be under wraps or not).

Adultery, maybe your wife will let you get this?..... Or the other one if you can't afford the first one.

[Adultery]

That's cool actually!!

Small but rad!

It might look a little funny next to my cab though!

Kind of had an idea based off of my first suggestion that would look cool for a PinballX startup video on the ViPCabs would be the same fast motion time-lapsed assembly of a cabinet with the cabinet booting up and displaying the VPCabs logo with a pan-in to the playfield as a game playfield loads followed with a fade to the VPCabs logo.

[Tom Speirs]

It is here and all in perfect working order. Two things the pictures don't show is the awesome sound system and force feedback. Having the volume control right on the front is an excellent feature too.

It really is the best new cab experience I have ever had, either arcade or pinball. There is no such thing as perfection in a product or business but the whole experience has to be as close as it gets.

I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. If it was crappy I wouldn't say it!

Apart from my Team Mongoose BMX and my Sinclair ZX Spectrum back in the day its the best toy I have ever had!

Cheers.

Tom.
