One Of A Kind Virtual Pinball Machine Build

The journey is complete. We started building my Mother a Virtual Pinball Cabinet in March of 2021 as a Christmas Gift, and it turned out better than we could have imagined. Since my Mom is 85 years old, we had to come up with a custom, one of a kind design for her specific needs. In this Special Edition of GYGO (which means longer run time than usual) we show you what we came up with.

A special thanks to Terry Red, Major Frenchy and the whole Virtual Pinball community who fueled our interest for this build. This wouldn't have been possible without you all. To Steve at Zeb's Boards, thanks for making some of the best VP Hardware in the business!
