My Bally Alpha player tracking plate mod
« on: February 18, 2017, 06:36:08 PM »
Instead of covering the player tracking plate hole with black paper, I decided to make a mod for my Bally Alphas. I machined the text into white acrylic. The front plate is 1/4 thick polycarbonate. The lamp housing is 1 inch PVC. I'm using programmable RGB LED strips.

Very nice. What did you use to machine the text? I have a friend with a C&C machine. I suppose that would work???
My job keeps interfering with my hobbies.

Thanks Rick,

I've been designing/machining/selling parts for pinball machines for a few years now. I thought I'd make a few mods for some of my slots.

Here's some pics of my polygon topper base adapters I made for my IGTs.

Did you 3D print the base adapters?

No, the adapters are 3-D machined on my cnc machining center. The material is black delrin, (acetal)

Wow, out of my ballpark.  That's is some cool stuff!  I've always wanted to have a pinball machine, but have never gotten around to getting one.  Now I have no space with all the slots all over.  Maybe one day when my son moves out and his room is vacated, I will convert that to a small personal arcade.

Wow, I'm going to need to buy the house next door so I can put all my stuff and then have my pinball and arcade machine room.  Nice collection.  Indiana Jones and Adams Family have always been my favorites.  For some reason I also like South Park...
