Home Brew Pinball Machine - Day5

[luno44]

With the ball dropping off that ramp so fast, is that a high wear area for wear and tear over time?

[jeriellsworth]

@luno44 Yes, but this is fairly common in many newer games. A little piece of mylar can reduce this wear.

Wicked sweet ramp. Nice playfield design. Solid, smooth motion.

Nice work, can't wait to see how you decorate it!

I'm just curious, what camera did you use to film this clip?

I'd love to buy a new one and I'm on the look out for good quality, and I thought this clip looked really sharp.

[jeriellsworth]

This is the Flip camera. Not bad for a cheap camera, but doesn't have macro. I only use it, because I've decided not to do much editing on this series of videos.

[sonodrome]

Groovy, thanks for the help

@jeriellsworth

You can make a macro lens out of a DVD player lens. I made one for my Flip cam. Just took the lens out of the DVD player and mounted it in thick cardboard. Just place it over the cam's lens and there ya go :)

Nice work Jeri, it's getting better and better.

Jeri, what is the theme - No Fear 2? That is a _fast_ flipper feed. Very cool. Nothing better than ultra quick flow. Keeping it Richie!

[jeriellsworth]

I think the game is more stop and go right now, so Steve would be disappointing.

@jeriellsworth

I thought you were going to add a BK2K like loop right in the middle?

[jeriellsworth]

Yes, but I have a scoop and the lock to the left. I may only have space for one loop through the middle.

[Kevbo4]

Suck it, Ben Heck! Jeri will pwn you!

[macebobo]

Sweet! Home brew anything rocks! Jeri, you're an inspiration!

[SuperFinGuy]

Wow is that a week's work? You're fast. Looking pretty good.
