And here is the final status for today.
The foliage is on the Box and all Buttons, Plunger and Coindoor is attached to it. Only thing missing on the Box are some trims on the sidecorners and the Springfeets.
Time to do some electronic :)
Enjoy
Ok here is another HUGE Step :)
Today i placed the front and back plate and cutted holes for the buttons,plunger and coindoor. Then i fitted the Siderails and the Lockbar to the box and polished them.
Next step is to cut the holes for the top buttons. Then it´s time for some black foliage...
The Leaf Switches arrived today. Also you can see the Plunger and the rest of the Buttons.
Also the Plunger mechanic is done. Looks simple, but works :D It will be done with a simple cable control.
Well, like Jeff said ;) With exept of the Launch Ball Button, which exist on Medieval Madness. The Analog Plunger is in the work. I start with a custom Plunger design, and later on I change it with a original Plunger.
And here are the next steps done for today.
The Main Pinball Controller Box is ready. Only the front and backplates are still missing.
Next Steps on the Box:
1. cut all the holes for the Buttons.
2. Insert the Frontplate with Coindoor
3. Add a black adhesive film on the complete Box

You see the front and the board is at the bottom. The longer stretched springs (horizontal) are the sidenudges, cause you need longer ways of the stick to get a nudge. Up and down are easier to nudge, thats why the springs are shorter.
The nudge now appears like a real table nudge. Just to be...
Hey Guys,
today i started to work on my Pinball Controller. I´m using a board from an wireless ps3 controller with attached wires on it to connect the Buttons.
This is the easier part of the work, cause i did that a couple of times.
There are two challenges I have to master. First a nice...
Strandcafe in Wuppertal. Every Year with a big Pinball Tournament with about 20 Tables. The Bar itself has 3 Pinballs which change over the year. In the season you can play for free on every Friday.

Hey Guys,
due the fact I am building an Pinball Controller, i was thinking about Button configuration. One Thing that would be very nice, is to also let you choose tables in the main menu with the flipper buttons.
Now I need to add extra buttons, only for choosing a table.
the second thing is...
Oh good news :) I searched my second controller that I throwed in a corner, cause the L2 & R2 Buttons were weak. It´s not a original Sony, so i thought "hey the plastic buttons were weak, not the electronic" so i opend it, and
than all turned well. There is a board with directly huge silver...
Oh Damnit! I crashed the board! Richard? Technical Skills I have?? Nope :) But hey, tommorow I´ll buy a new one. Maybe I should think about another way to attach the wires....
Thanks, but it´s not finished :) Maybe you should wait with that comment, till it´s finished and working :)
Kinda critical to attach the wires, cause i have only maybe a milimeter to solder the wire. One wrong move and the board is gone...
But lets see if all went good :)

Hey Guys,
i was just watching some YT Vids, and i realized, that the Flasher lights flashes a little strange. Red Caps and WHITE Lightning! At least it has to be red or something between white and red. Now it looks much unrealistic. Also the Flippers are too far apart (already discussed)...
Ok no problem, I will do some WIP Shots when I start building. The Nudge mechanic will be a challenge, but in my Head it works :D
Also the Plunger will be a challenge to make. I already ripped off all the unimportant parts of the PS3 Controller. Only the main chipset is left.
So time to attach...
