Welcome to Pinprick's Place
« on: January 11, 2012, 10:19:30 PM »
For my 500th post, I thought I'd put up my newest mad idea.

The existing bellpush got a bit crappy & faded - time for a replacement . . .

Hey what is your address?
That looks so much better condition than the one on my Firepower, might have to pay a midnight visit #@#.

Seriously though - nice touch, but maybe it could be better if you toss the standard door bell and wire it up to a chime box from an old EM for the full pinball experience %$%

Good idea!
I had hought about it, but setting up power for the coils and the need for some sort of sequential timing device to trigger them is beyond my abilities. One day I might lean on some of my clever mates to make it happen.

Get them to integrate the garage door opener into a wizard mode whilst they are there...
Nice one Max.
