A building blog for my homemade BioShock pinball machine!

Status update
Just doing a quick status update to let you know how I'm doing.
1) Right middle-playfield. It's taking shape!
2) Closeup on the center scoop. This is not the final fixture of the metal housing, I've simply screwed it in place so that I may see how much space it allocates.
have you tried firing a ball out of that scoop yet? it looks like the angle may fire the ball into the air (not good!). Have a look at the slot machine scoop on a twilight zone. It extends much further and the top goes much more horizontal to keep the ball down. Great work though! I've been following with interest for months!

Thanks! Glad you enjoy reading the blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThis scoop is enter-only, so it should be fine!
The ball will be kicked up by a VUK through the bigger hole behind it onto the upper level. :)
