At last we have the movie of my Pinball Kinetic Sculpture Thingy.
Back in February when I joined our fantastic forum, I posted up some static pics of this labour of love. At the time there were requests for a vid, so thanks to the efforts of Elkor Alish (Mark, Claire & Hannah) here we are.
The ambition now is to complete phase II which will be a full size (not depthwise) Addams Family Values P/F kinetic in the adjacent room. When this is done, we hope to present a bigger, better video.
Hope you will indulge my borderline madness and enjoy!
Max

Awesome work Max ^^^  Would be awesome and very satisfying to sit back with a few drinks and watch the finished product at work.

Good luck with phase 2!

I love it !

That is just about the coolest thing I've seen in a while. It reminds me of a TV show, in my youth, where they used a similar setup of balls flying around a track - it was a British TV show - and no one seems to remember it - but it was similar to what has been achieved here..

Thanks for sharing and I cannot wait to see more -  $#$

New year's resolution #1
Get THE ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES upright pinball kinetic rolling.

Well, after nearly 14 months I've got off my duff and started making progress on phase II of this project.
The feed and return tunnels are through the wall from the room next door and their associated wireforms are in place.
Here are 4 piccys of work to date. Still much to do . . . (Jesus, why did I ever start?)
All being well, there should be a vid clip when it's done.

Quick update:
P/F test fitted into "cabinet" see piccy.
Still tons to do - position & slot in 1mm lexan kinetic ball guides (see one below the ball & chain) sub P/F channels and mechanics, graphics and plastics, P/F artwork, clearcoating, transformer & lighting system and on. And on.

Hello Matt

That's a very cool vid of one very elaborate kinetic! I enjoyed watching it, and noted a couple of ideas too.
Mine has been neglected while I've been sidetracked on other projects and doing pinstuff for other people.
Thanks for for timely reminder . . . I WILL get on with it  . . . soon . . . I hope.

Max

That reminds me, there is a cool kinetic outside of Hoyts Northland but using pool balls instead of pinballs - unfortunately it is in a non-operational state right now, but when it was going it was good fun to watch.
