Hey guys and greetings from Finland.


I recently ordered and received a Williams widebody inspired virtual pinball cabinet from Tukkari, a company based in Czech Republic.
Found their website about two weeks before ordering, browsed the site properly and I was amazed by the quality, the workmanship and everything I was seeing.
Looked like something that was done properly all the way, with every detail made to perfection.
Decided to take the plunge and ordered a kit.
This is my first pinball build.


The parcel arrived really fast, left the factory Friday afternoon and arrived midday Monday to Finland. Kudos to FedEx, that was some fast weekend action.
My choice was the premium, fully assembled kit.
The package arrived in pristine condition, nothing was damaged in the transit which is always nice.


Unboxing was easy, the parcel was properly based on a wooden crate, just a few screws to remove to reveal it all.
Took just a few minutes, no instructions needed.
So far I have not found anything I could have personally improved, although I have some experience in designing and building stuff like this.


They have websites for EU at https://www.tukkari.eu/arcade-virtual-pinball-cabinets and for US etc at https://www.tukkari.com
Shipping is available pretty much to every location known to man which is warmly welcomed and not very often seen by most companies.
I have started buying parts for the build now; had pretty much zero parts at home for this so have to plan and buy wisely now.


3 screens bought so far, an LG C2 42" OLED for the playfield and a 32" full hd monitor for the backbox and a 15.6" DMD screen.
Parts list so far:
Backbox monitor 32" Samsung Odyssey G3 S32DG302EU
42" LG C2 OLED playfield
Ground Zero IW 165, 6,5" subwoofer
JBL Stage3 527 5.25" speakers
ARZOPA 15.6" DMD

Speakers and DMD:

Had to make a 12mm spacer for the 32" because the monitor has a weird lip shape at the back.

Centering the DMD screen 100% in its place felt like a bit of trouble.
Then I figured out a good way and downloaded a 1920*1080 test picture with green borders.
This picture will help me center the the DMD screen properly.
