  • I recently hacked my 1979 Tomy Atomic Arcade Pinball toy machine to add some flashing LEDs. It's super easy to do and only requires the most basic soldering and electronics skills. If you have any questions, feel free to post them below in the comments section :) Thanks a lot for watching!
    Check out Jeff's Pinball Page for more information on the inner workings of the machine:

    It'd be cool if this could be hooked up to the bastl servos etc in modular, then you'd get some amazing sounds!

    I had this game, and it was sturdy! It was also loud like the guy says. And there was a flaw.... you could shake it and the score would scroll up on it's own. Want extra points? Just give it a good shake as you played it. :-)

    I have just found this pinball machine in my loft. I wish I could modify it so it looked/sounded like this.

    Hi. Could you tell where you have soldered the LEDs and how have you hold them? I opened my pinball and I do not know if you cut a speaker wire and soldered it to the common switch and used the other contacts to solder the speaker in one and the positives of the LEDs to the other contact.thanks

    I also had one of these as a child - a Christmas present. I played it until it gave out. :) So much fun, despite its simplicity.
    Sometimes I see variations on this machine in second-hand stores, with TMNT, Spider-Man, or other similar kid-oriented themes. What I'd love to know is if there's a Web tutorial for opening and customizing these kinds of toy pinball games. I recently came into three "generic anime" games at $16 each, and want to make at least one of them into a "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" table. Anyone out there have a website that would help me before I break one beyond repair?

      Sean Wilkinson I’ve been searching this a lot to. My wife bought me a Batman begins table for Xmas as a joke because I love pinball. I plan on opening it and working in more ways to get score and maybe adding action figures to customize it. Have you found any info on modifying these small tables?

    How did you disassembled it? I know this maybe inappropriate to ask, but could you send photo/link/description of tools you used. My socket wrenches doesn’t fit there.

    • @EdgySwordfish
      @EdgySwordfish Před 2 lety +1

      2 years late, but if it still helps you, or anyone else...
      I took a phillips screwdriver and wedged it in between the nut and the housing to keep it from spinning while unscrewing it from the top.

    • @Unexpectedstuff
      @Unexpectedstuff Před 2 lety

      @@EdgySwordfish I didn’t have such screwdriver that will not hurt the plastic if used in such way.
      Now I have plenty, thank you for reminding about this.
