This is a very well built pinball cabinet for the price and simple to upgrade. I bought mine about 4 months ago at Sams. I have already installed the vibs module for the backglass, connected my pc to it to play pinball FX3 tables, upgraded the sound with some klipish pro media speakers and installed solenoids for both plunger buttons. My future plans include the addition of a blue and red rotating beacons, which will turn on when I press the plunger buttons.
Congrats on getting this table. I made the huge mistake of buying a couple hundred dollars woth of tables for the ALU, and setting them to only run on that unit, so if I get an ALP, I'll have to buy them all over again. Geez. I only wish the marquee weren't so bright on the ALP. I'll have to disconnect the light on that. If I'm able to get the table, I'll be stripping out the tiny backbox monitor, and replacing it with one that's big enough for me to actually see. LOL Thanks for sharing this.
I had the same issue with mine were the marquee light would bleed into the main glass display. My fix was cutting two pieces of printing paper and taping them to the back of the marquee. You can adjust how much you want to deem it by using several layers.
Hi from the Uk so I ordered mine 5 days ago super excited I’ve owned a real 1992 data east hook pinball machine in the past so I have high expectations on this virtual machine so a year later how is it ?
I’m still enjoying it. No issues really. I just purchased the Zaccaria Deluxe 5 pinball pack for it, lots of good tables. I’m sure you will enjoy your new machine!
On sale for $400 at Sam's Club right now! Pulled the trigger er plunger yesterday and already ordered the joystick/trackball control deck upgrade so they will hopefully ship simultaneously!

Yeah there are endless mods you can do to this thing for sure! Just a matter of how much time and effort one wants to put into it.

Thank you for all the detail. Would be great if you hold your phone sideways for video recording to give that 16:9 presentation all the way through.
Good tip, thanks for watching!
