3 prong cord installed - check
dongle installed - check
spent ball box installed - check

I actually had an old smart card programmer I took apart hoping to use the enclosure for the smartcard reader from Daverob but it did not fit, the board was too wide. So I still have that to figure out (enclosure to keep little fingers from breaking it!).

I painted the outside of the ball discharge tube black to blend in when you are back a ways from the cabinet, looks good (forgot to take a pic of it!)

[rubberratt]

Awesome

[birdbrain]

hanabi had a post covering install of the card reader by the wookie. it looked great!

[gottac]

Tonight I gutted a 3.5" floppy and fitted it with the reader... it was beige so I had to paing it black... so far so good!! in the AM (Later am anyway since its 3am now) I will assemble it and install it (if all goes right!) I'll post some pics if it comes out decent... if it doesn't I wont take pics but I will say it came out awesome hahahahahahaha

Talk to you all soon... I have been up since 4:30 yesterday am so I am sunning on 23 hours of being up and I am fried like one of Arbys cool beans!

Nice Job John !! you have a good hand on this

[gottac]

Thanks

Here's a few more pics!

The painted ball pipe off the spent ball box... The floppy drive enclosure converted to card reader (I used an emachines dummy 3.5 drive cover and a dremel to make the slot).

The square cutout doesnt look as bad as these pics... it is so far in you do not notice it (I was really close taking these pics!), I had to have access to the jumpers.

[gottac]

The last of my pics!

PS still need the ball shutoff from the top hopper... I haven't been even using it, I am afraid I will open the door and spill my balls!!

The card slot looks sharp...Turned out nice!

[dattia]

Thx for the card reader holder info you just saved me time making some holders out of Plexi and yours looks great too!

[gottac]

Eddie,

Your really good with that plexi, I am sure it would turn out better than my rig up!! Paint it on the backsides so the paint wouldn't scratch! or keep it clear to see the inside might even be cooler! put some LED lights in it! (Ok I am getting like Tim "the toolman" Taylor now).


PS this what I was trying to copy when I did my floppy rig: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=010
