VARIOUS - Custom Pinballs
« on: March 28, 2010, 04:52:21 PM »
With deference to Coconut Island, Homepin, Mr Pinbologist, Nucore, various previous posts and many people not mentioned;
I'd like to begin a mainly pictorial thread on privateer's (and some small concern's) efforts to build custom and conversion machines all under one heading.

There have been some wonderful and also some pretty dubious EM and SS attempts over the years.
With the advent of P-Roc and some other amazing hardware & software systems, it strikes me that there might be more late era machines being scratch built or converted too.

PLEASE keep adding MORE stuff if YOU'RE interested in this topic!

This is a one off as it never got into production so i guess you could call it a custom machine...
