  • @jaw The original pinball machine is in the corner (probably gonna sell it some time). It's a Williams 1979 Laser Ball, wide body, one of the first solid state machines. Pretty rare.

    Mine is running a Rottendog MPU, because the original boards were toast. Stockpiled spare plastics and parts - bought a whole extra playfield to remove all the moving parts as spares just in case, and for a few years the spare playfield and broken plastics sat in the corner.

    So now the spare playfield is my desk, had a custom cut piece of polished edge 8mm toughened glass, on top of original (broken) plastics. Haven't finished that 'project' yet so glass is still resting on the blue foam rectangles. Pic now attached when glass first arrived.

    @MetalMelly exceptions prove rules.

  • That's gorgeous. Sounds like a great idea! Best era ever if you ask me.

    I used to have a '78 Bally Six Million Dollar Man - the day this thing turned up I'm sure I played it nonstop for the whole easter break
