Tempest is awesome! It's also a loud game with sounds it made like rockets firing before you flew into the tunnel after winning a round. It was unique too almost a flashback to the pong days having a rotary controller but dang the game play was good. Classic vector graphics similar to asteroids

Michail, I secured a couple of reels, built a little circuit to test them and ordered all the other parts. The reels work, but they will need some mechanical restoration. Then, while waiting for the boards from Elektor, I got started restoring a Hickok 209A VTVM which I am still working

RE: [neonixie-l] Pinball score reel clock

Shaun, Did you get this project done? Strangely, my GF thought about this type of clock and found links online. I just searched my email on it and found this posting from you for the same thing. We purchased 8 reel on ebay. And, we found a pinball guy on craigslist and just picked up

Re: [neonixie-l] Pinball score reel clock

Most pinball score reels are 10 position, but Bally made one that is 12 position, part number CD-29-1600. Those would come in very handy for the hour and 10's minute indicators. They're very hard to find. They were used as payout multipliers on multi-coin slot machines, since they were able to

Re: [neonixie-l] Pinball score reel clock

I built a clock using those pinball reels, but (for the reason the Mr. Smout mentioned, I didn't use the original electro-mechanical drivers (although I had them). Instead, I mounted each reel on a stepper motor, and drove each stepper with a little 8051-based controller - six of them in

Re: [neonixie-l] Pinball score reel clock

You really won’t want to hear one of these clocks clattering away in your home for too long. I had a house that was detached from my neighbo(u)r and they asked me if I was using an old typewriter. The correct term in pinball circles for these electromechanical devices are decagon reels. Some

Where do you get the displays from? They appear rarer than the more exotic Nixie's. On Mon, 18 Feb 2019, 3:05 p.m. Shaun Merrigan Just saw an interesting a article about building a 4 digit clock using > electro-mechanical score reels from pinball machines: > >
