Family Guy Pachislo is Here

[BigBearSteve]

First off, I wanted to Thank Devospeed, for the time and effort that went into this custom.

The original artwork has a very simple picture, and from that he made me my very own Family Guy machine.

I've still got more that I want to do with it, but here's a few photo's of what I did last night.

Freakin' Sweet!!!
can you post a picture of the complete reel strips???

[BigBearSteve]

I didn't think to take a picture when I had everything laid out last night.

Here's one installed.

BigBearSteve,

Great looking machine!! We need to keep Devospeed doing these customs.

I like the diamond plate where the stop buttons were (I just used a piece of ABS plactic on mine). It looks like you have diamond plate where the payout label is as well. Is that correct.? Can you post a picture of that as well? Are the stop butons still connected on the inside?

Keep us posted with all the updates!

[BigBearSteve]

The diamond plate is actually mini diamond plate vinyl.

On top piece under the payout sticker, I plugged the 1 and 2 bet button holes, and covered it with the DP material.

The buttons are inside, like your machine (I tried disconnecting them but it confused the auto stop)

The front cover is a piece of plexiglass/lucite covered with DP.

It is just pressed in the hole for now, I'm working on a two piece translucent vinyl design with lights behind.

Hey BigBearSteve,

Looks great! I had the same problem with he autostop which was why I left the stop buttons connected. Also, from time to time I have had a reel keep spinning. With the buttons still connected, it's easy to reach in and stop the reel.

Is the mini diamond plate vinyl smooth or is there a texture to it? It looks cool! I also like your idea for the cover where the stop buttons were. As I said, I just have some ABS plastic and I'm not sure if I like the look or not. One thing I think you should do (hope you don't mind my input) is to paint the bezel around the Max Bet button black.

Well, as I said before, Great look machine and theme choice.

Big pat on the back to Devospeed as well for turning an idea into an awesome machine!

The material is smooth, It just looks textured.

Not at all, I love input.. Yes, I was thinking of painting it black, or another contrasting color. I might even change it out with an american slot button.

Hey BigBearSteve,

Thanks for the info. Where did you get the diamond plate vinyl? Is your payout label just stuck on top? Mine is and there is a little wear already. I sent Devon an e-mail to see if I could get another one from him. I think I'm then going to have a new clear deck plate (I think that is the correct name) made and put the payout label underneath.

I got the IGT slot arm all wired up and it works great. The reels will spin from the spin knob of the slot arm. I love it.

Well, thanks again for your help and your machine looks awesome!

The vinyl, I got on ebay. There was a seller that sold 8x10 sheets of various finishes. I was using it for laptop flame sticker kits.

The payout sticker is on top and yes, mine is showing some wear too.

Ask Devon if he can do a reverse print on the sticker, so you can stick it to the back of your clear top plate. I'm not sure if he can do it with that material, but you can ask.

That's how I wired my handle too.
Works great!
Next idea is to put a micro switch on the handle to trigger the bet button when the handle is pulled (no more touching the max bet button)

And maybe a topper or candle.

Welcome to Pachitalk Hayseed.

[Hayseed]

Thanks for the welcome. I just got a Queen Fever 1 pacshilo, Father in-law (Daddyo!) gave it to me. The Grand kids playe onit for years.

Now I do have a question. on the control module. there are 2 switches on it I have no idea what they do. I figred the 2 buttons are for the odds and resetting, but the switches... I dunno. There are noting about these switches in the manual. I'll upload a photo soon.

Anyway, I did a mod to mine, probably the most common mod out there... not trying to make this site illegal by speaking of it, but the machine makes a nice addition to the entertainment area of my bar/gameroom!

Also, how do I go about modding the wheels? do I need anything special? my wife is an artist and can paint just about anything. I want a family guy machine. I am a family guy Freek!

If you're interested, Devospeed has my orignal artwork for the reel strips.
You're more than welcome to use it.

You'll have to contact him for the cost of making them.

[Hayseed]

Absolutly! Gmail it to me please!

Thank you Thank you.
