Virtual Pinball Builds

What to document

Record the model, hardware generation, game list, dimensions, weight, power label, controls, displays, connectivity, serial number and included accessories. Photograph the exact machine rather than relying on stock images.

Buying checks

• Check display specifications and cabinet cooling.
• Document controls, feedback devices, PC hardware and software configuration.
• Budget ongoing software and component maintenance.

Ownership and support

Consumer home cabinets, commercial machines and custom builds use different support models. Compare warranty, firmware, replacement parts, standard interfaces and community documentation before treating two similar-looking cabinets as equivalent.

Official or primary resources

• Use exact machine labels, manuals and component documentation.
