I Designed a new Road Show Mod

I don't have a table yet but I've been passing time and keeping myself busy thinking of all the fixes and improvements I'll add to my Roadshow when I do eventually get one.

I ordered a Boom Box to paint to help pass the time but the other night I was struck by some inspiration - to create a Bob's Bunker mod using a small gas station model - the type of thing you purchase for train sets. After taking some measurements I found a great model and then decided I should wire up LED's to correspond with the wheel prizes - I never look at the wheel as it's too far up the field.

The plan is also to wire it up so the gas station lights up when Bob's lights. This will give me something to do while I wait to get a house to put my Roadshow in. Mental rant over. You should all feel very lucky to own a machine - I'm here on the outside looking in for years now.

Apologies, what with all your RS topics I was under the distinct impression you had one already!

where are you based? i have one here, not for sale but needs some work that you are very welcome to play about with should it help to scratch your itch.

There's no such thing as a keeper, as nearly all games get can boring eventually. Sometimes it just takes another distraction or the passage of time before you want to get back into it again.

As for the above, interesting idea - i actually like the little radio (not an eye sore for me) as it feels like a real construction site with the battered boombox over in the corner. It could easier be improved with glowing speakers or whatever, via 3D printing maybe.

Got mine painted buy an artistic friend:

I live and work right next to an Arcade in Dublin called Token, I'm probobly there 4-5 evenings or so a week playing their selection - Roadshow being the one I play most of the time.

Of course pinball's get boring for sure, I've definitely got bored of a few - but out of everything I've ever played I have a special connection with the rules on that table - I just love it. I'm hoping they'll sell me it when I finally get a house haha. Thank you very much for the offer @Monkeyboypaul
