Pinball Coffee Table Build

[LovelyCoCoNuts]

Built this new pinball coffee table for Galagatattoos (klov member) from a fully populated playfield I picked up (Saved) for him on my Texas Pinball trip earlier this year.

Will post pictures as an update when it is fully finished.

Still need to
1. Stain the wood
2. Glass trim
3. Corner trim
4. Tap into original harness with conectors and light it up (dc->ac buck convertor or swap with comet leds and just use dc voltage.
5. Eventual possible arduino with OPP/MPF for attract on the lights.

Playfield is a fully populated Eight ball deluxe , with new plastics from planetary pinball.

Already ordered full rubber set

I think it's cool.


. I am looking for either rocky and bullwinkle, pinbot, or williams plastics to make a similar table for myself.

Those are the spare playfields I have hanging on the wall in the cade.

Butt joints bro?

Butt joints bro?

I don't have a locking miter joint router bit set, so no use to do miter cuts.

The fact it is going to be stained dark walnut, 45 degree miters were a waste of time, as the aesthetics would be lost with the lack of a natural wood finish.

Plus it is premium pine, not oak or popular.

Which is still costly.

We ended up at around $140 for wood and hardware.

The nice legs and screw in hardware were a large part of the cost.


This is a showdowbox style build, not intended to be a functional pin ... I asked to do it that way.... But perhaps later.

A little outside corner molding and you're all good! ;-)

Cool project. I may try something similar with an old play field. I like the idea and it looks awesome. Something unique.

Thanks buddy. Going to use 2inch alum painted black

And wood channel to cover the edge of the glass.

Someone on another forum had mentioned an older atari playfield as thr displays were on it, or lower and adaptable for removal?
