How big, have you calculated the amount of balls you’ll need, mine has over 1000 balls!







A labour of love, I think they look great, but a sill amount of time and I wouldn’t repeat! Quite costly too.

Looks great mate.

I haven't measured but looking at yours I'd say maybe 300?

From memory I think it was around 150Kg, maybe a touch more.

 

[Asiapinball]

I will bring you some too.

 

[Marvello]

How much does it weigh!!

The balls alone would be 80kg if there were 1000.

I’ve been away and now back home, had a look at my resin top, it’s a grid of 21 x 76, so 1596 balls. It was 4 years ago when I made it, it took a hydraulic lift table and two people to get it into position, it sits on 3 supports I made up out of 3mm mild steel.

Sometime last year I read the thread on how @taz turbo went about making this top and thought it was brilliant.

I hope he doesn't mind me linking members to it. https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/pinshack-new-build.45671/page-3#post-379017

It also doubles as a nuclear bunker.
