I am extremely late in posting this.I built this custom Virtual Pinball Cab a while back and didn't get around to posting about it here. I'm really proud of how it turned out. It runs great and it's a lot of fun to play. I have spent MANY hours researching on the forums learning from many of you. Thanks you VERY MUCH.So I thought I would share this now. I will try to give back to the emulation community with any help that I can.Some of the details....8 Contactors, Spinner/Shaker motor assembly, Knocker, Gear motor assembly, Analog Plunger with nudge, 10 RGB Led's, RGB flipper and magnasave buttons.46" 1080p LED table screen32" 1080p LED backglass screenVishay orange DMD connected to a PinDMD2Here are some videos.

imagamejunky Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thank you tthurman. I appreciate that. I will get back to you. I can't remember off the top of my head.Junky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You do some amazing and high quality work, very nice!What degree do you pitch your playfield screen at? You may want to check here and here, Todd. One good note I found was measure the slope of the playfield, not the glass above it. Looks like 6.5 -7.0 degrees of incline is recommended, but some manufacturer's will vary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Very nice pincab build! I just inherited a VirtuaPin Mini and hope to get up to speed quickly., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've read that 6 is pretty much standard for modern systems, but sometimes the pitch of the cab is that, with the playfiled being 2. Would seem more pitch, within reason that is, is going to benefit a TV though. Thanks for those links, hadn't read those particular threads.

imagamejunky Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 You will have 3 different pitch variables to think about. The slope of the screen, the slope of the glass, and the height of the adjustable pinball machine leveling feet which will change the first 2 in the perspective of the player.Junky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Actually 4 variables if you have a beer holder built into the side of your cab (unless it is on a gimble, then it doesn't matter about the other 3 variables). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
