Homemade pinball

I made this Pinball machine just need to varnish to finish. Designed myself as I went. Various Ply, mdf and pine, coat hangers, springs and trunking/conduit.

20 Cedar ball points to score, 5 steel multiballs, 1 push button for an elevator and 1 button for steel play balls, 2 Ceder ball release tunnels, 2 plungers and 4 flippers.

Re: Homemade Pinball

Amazing work @MarcL! The level of detail you've gone into is absolutely astounding, and the lighting really is the icing on the cake. How many hours would you estimate that you've spent on creating it?

 

Many thanks for sharing this incredible project.

I've just been pointed towards this thread by @Jason  as he knows I'm heavily into home arcade gaming, albeit more of the electronic variety!

 

Having seen a few similar DIY pinball tables in my online travels I can safely say that this example, as well as the others made by MarcL are simply stunning! Kudos to you sir for having the vision, drive and creativity required to achieve such an awesome end result.
