Here we go! Earlier this year I bought the pinball "Little Joe" (manufacturer Bally) from the year 1972 on eBay. It is beyond repair and different components like the playfield were already partially removed from the previous owner - therefore ideal for my purposes. Initially I planned to build the housing by myself, but with all the accessories needed (such as pinball legs, lockbar, side trims etc.) it would become much more expensive. With "Little Joe" I only have to invest some time to the preparation of the cabinet - and I like the idea, that the 42 year old pinball is going to be kept alive :)

In addition to the cabinet more components like switch wire 0.5 mm² in different colors, ferrules, 12 and 24 volt power supplies, PC power supply, IEC connector, relay, 24 volt contactors and protection diodes have arrived. For the playfield I'm going to use a Samsung UE40D5000 LED TV, which I bought at eBay - unfortunately the seller is a little bit slow with the shipping. I will remove the housing from the TV, so the display should fit upright with a few adjustments into the pinball cabinet - if I haven't miscalculated the size ;)
