  1. Neat! Someone is working on recreating 3D Pinball Space Cadet (the virtual pinball table included in some versions of Windows, originally from Full Tilt! Pinball by Cinematronics and published by Maxis) in physical form!

    They're also looking for an artist (explicitly NO AI!) that can provide high-quality artwork for the table, as the original was - of course - fairly low-res.

  16. A fun bonus fact:

    Even though the score displays have 6 digits in them, it can only control 5 of them. The last digit is hardwired to zero, just as old electro-mechanical games have fake reels that add zeroes to the score. This is why it's diagnostic error codes also always end with a zero.

  21. Today's head scratcher is Take Five's credit display. It loses a segment when it heats up and it also has one segment that's always a bit dim.

    The resistors measure fine, but I'm not seeing the operating voltage coming through this one segment's LED. I check them with a thermal camera but nothing seems to heat up out of ordinarily. I hope it's not the 7-segment itself as this model is getting rare.

    Then I make an accidental discovery, the issue can be triggered by tapping the board, but it's not a cold joint. I end up replacing the whole 7-segment, which as an added bonus took care of the dim segment too. Wasn't that mysterious fix today.

    This board is pretty simple, it has a shift register, two 7447's to run the 7-segments and then couple of passive components. The score displays have similar design, just more displays to control.

  37. Here's a rare board from the collection. This is Bally's Vidiot board and it's used in those very rare hybrid pinball/video-games. I've only seen two titles personally; Baby Pacman and Granny & The Gators.

    The thing is extremely hacky build, with basically made of a video game and a pinball game that hate each others' guts and exist in the same cabinet by the power of sheer hate.

    I've been hoping for this board to find a worthy rebuild project to resurrect a total loss game some day.

  46. Our hideout, Hopeakuula Arcade as of May 2026. We've shuffled the machines around a bit to fit Mars Trek in there and in a blink and you miss it-moment there's also the stream machine corner too there now.

    For those who don't know us yet, we're a volunteering hobbyist run arcade with a mission to keep pinball alive. We're open to the public once a week on Wednesdays and usually once a month on Saturdays. We also host anything from birthday parties to company get togethers to keep the lights on.

    Located in #kouvola, #finland, we're one of the oldest still living hobbyist run arcades around. Come say hi if you find yourself in this corner of the world!
