Virtual Pinball Builders Kit
*** Note that due to limited availability of KL25Z boards and the PinOne just being a much better experience for my users, I have stopped producing builders kits using the KL25Z boards at this time. If you have any questions or have a specific need for the KL25Z builders kit, please reach out to me via the contact page ***
Now you can have a full virtual pinball experience, just like you would get if you paid thousands of dollars, but for a fraction of the cost and almost as easy to setup.
This is a kit that includes all of my gear in a nice all in one package, fully assembled and ready to plug and play. All wires, screws, ribbon cables and everything you need to hook it up is included.
All kits come with my main board that will give you analog nudge, inputs for buttons and plunger, and outputs to run all your toys.
If you get both SSF and the solenoid option together, you get a big discount on the SSF components, so if you are planning on doing SSF in the future it’s worth considering it with the kit. Everything sold in the separate SSF kits comes with the builders kits. You get the sound card, wires, power supply, amps, and speakers.
I recommend the PinOne over the KL25Z board at this time due to much improved board architecture and availability of parts
The kits come in three sizes:
Small Cabinet Kit - comes with 8 solenoids and/or the 2.1 (3 speaker) SSF System and my KL25Z based 12 output board OR PinOne Board, plunger and the button board with an expansion board and 12 buttons (5 RGB and 7 Single Color LED)
Medium to Large Cabinet Kit - everything in the starter kit, plus a shaker motor, additional outputs with a larger expansion board (Expansion board not needed in PinOne option, but it’s also $40 cheaper and you get a service board as well), and 10 solenoids instead of 8 and/or the 4.2 (6 speaker) SSF System
Extreme Builders Kit - everything in the above kit, plus an additional expansion board and the LED light bar
The PinOne option is slightly less expensive and in the Medium and Extreme kits you also get a service board included in the price.
