Really interesting ... I wasnt' sure how you were going to pull this off but it looks neat !!

How are you going to get a playfield glass on it ?

[SquidVicious]

PF glass is done.
Check the pics on the last post.

Awesome ... is it transportable ? will you be taking it to shows ? (EXPO might be interested as this is a pretty unique mod/rework)

Here is a picture, in case anyone doesn't have the time to wade through a lot of pictures of the design (like me!)....

I'm smelling a new verb!

"How could you NOT understand how to do it now??? That tutorial was totally mwong'd!"

"This project deserves to be mwong'd, fer sure."

"I tried every excuse to not clean the garage but my wife mwong'd me why I have to, darnit."

This is a really ingenious project that obviously took a great deal of planning, time and energy that deserves to be applauded but I still can't help but feel a nagging sense of loss of the 3 or 4 games. Bitter sweet results, imho. But, again, incredible effort that I would love to play.

Salut Claude, alors étant collectionneur de pinball early SS je doit dire que je ne suis pas enjouer de voir ce résultat.
L'idée du triple head to head est intéressante et je reconnais que tu a du talent et de l'ingéniosité, alors bravo pour ca.

D'après-moi cette idée aurais été bien mieux servis si tu serais partis avec une fabrication originale et non d'utiliser des machines qui ont été concu pour autre chose. Ca aurais eu plus de valeur car ca aurais été une construction originale et mieux intégrer a l'idée de base.

J'espère que si tu a d'autre idée du genre que tu ne sacrifieras plus des pinballs dite ''collectible'' pour réaliser ce genre de projets.

Bonne job Claude!
Many times pinheads have discussion about to making a pin from scratch or making a custom one but few really made it that far and even less people doing something that special.
Even if you sacrifice some machine for this project. Pinball isn't about just collecting, it's for fun too so I preffer people doing nice project, custom or re-theme than letting machine rotting in a barn or a basement. It's better a project like this than peoples who part machines just for money, the triple head pin at least keep the spirit, who say we got nothing new in the pinball world Again good job Claude!
And collectors should be happy, they will see the value of their precious machine going up with less machines in the market !
With pinmame machine gaining in popularity, a lot of widebody pin will cease to exist in the next years...

Hey, Claude..... congratulations!

I know you have taken alot of crap from some people on the boards about oiling coils and what not, but even they've got to admit, this was a huge undertaking and the results are just amazing!

I remember when you first presented this idea, I thought you were nuts, but to see the finished product is just un-real to me. I have to give you a standing ovation on this.... and I have to know, how is the game play, was it really worth all that effort? Your sons must be thrilled that you can all play at the same time....

Big props - this is a project of GIAGANTIC proportion!

I used the ball ramp thrower coil and put it beside the shooter rod, I used 3 stronger Williams coils ( SG1-23-800-DC coils), to get it to shoot with more power. To do this i had to split the end of the rod in half and drill a long narrow hole in the middle of the rod ((so that the rod always stays straight with a nail holding it in. see pics)).

Tabarnac, je me suis tellement posé des questions ce weekend en faisant du ménage dans les boîtes de pièces. Je comprends un peu mieux maintenant

"What kind of fucking sorcery is this !??"
