Since everything else is basically done it's time to move on to masking for paint, well not really paint, it's actually automotive vinyl color. Below shows the new power inlet and black power circuit board placement, well out of the way now.
#The pinball arcade forum tv#
I would almost swear that this Sceptre TV was made to be modified because moving stuff around on it is super easy. Small problem though, the lighting makes the illusion section just a bit too much taller and it sits directly below where one of the circuit boards from the TV is located. Here is how it looks on the illusion section, I will be cutting the side rail to allow more light onto the motherboard. I attached the six pieces of channel aluminum-angle to a length of corner angle with rivets and installed the light strips into the channels, four white and two blue super bright LED strips.īelow is the finished lighting array, the wiring will receive the sleeve treatment when they are final installed. The only way the two-way mirror illusion will work is if the lighting inside is brighter than the ambient light outside, that said I cut some channel aluminum-angle the same length as the LED strips to make a lighting array. the mirrors work great, CPU coolers appear to go on as far as you can see.Īnother shot, this time looking over the CPU cooler and into the illusion. Here is a shot of the CPU cooler in its new home inside the illusion. The Performance-PCs sponsored Scythe Samurai-ZZ CPU cooler arrived and I waste no time installing it. Next up are the mirror panels and pieces of aluminum-angle that make up the illusion section, I'm waiting to make two more cutouts into the mirror panel on the right before they can be final installed onto the motherboard tray.Īnother great company has officially come onboard as a project sponsor, thanks go out to Performance-PCs for supplying my pinball project with a kick-ass Scythe Samurai-ZZ CPU cooler. The next picture shows the illusion section test fit inside the pinball table, everything looks good from this angle.Īnd it looks good from this side too, it's almost ready for final assembly and installation.īelow shows the finished modified motherboard tray, I rivet a couple pieces of aluminum-angle onto the top of the tray to hold the back mirror panel in place and I rivet a few more pieces of alum-angle around the side edges as mounting points. I had to modify the mounting bracket for both video cards to make them fit right against the mirror panel, a Dremel and a metal file made short work of it. I used the back piece of motherboard tray and the motherboard back plate as a template and then cut the sections of mirror out using a ripsaw blade. I scored and snapped the mirrors and then couldn't resist setting it up around the motherboard to see how cool it looked, and also to get an idea of what to do next.
