Got hold of a Bally Game Show that fully works this week..... In players condition.
So do I - clean playfield, play it and then sell it...... of course the easy option....
OR
Do I do a re-theme and a re-write to Rush/Van Halen or Queen.
My long term goals would be:
Install a Pincobra (or a similair board) or a My Pinball card - PROC seems very expensive.
Replace all GI and other lamps with WS2813 devices.
Add a 3 or 4 ball trough instead of the 2.
Fit some kind of ball lock device.
LCD screen in backbox.
I would keep the layout pretty well the same.
Short term:
I could add pinsound.
Maybe hack the roms to change text?!?
The issue I have is programming. Back in ZX80, ZX81 and Spectrum days I was a whizz but discovered guitars, alchol and women over the next few years. So I would have to learn that side probably mission pinball.
Have no issues with the wiring and hardware side of things.
My final job would be playfield and cabinet art.
I figure I could try the 'short term' thing and see how go.....
Currently watching @meesterpieter postings about his game as well as @AlanJ homebrew.
If anyone can throw advice and experiences my way that would be great.....
Any pointers.......?????
This is something I have wanted to do for quite a few years........
