I love pinball but it's too expensive to think about buying them individually. Was thinking about building one, but I have no skills. Anyway, anyone ever attempt such a feat?

It's on my "to do" list once we build our house. I built a MAME cabinet 25 years ago, and it still gets regular use.

I actually have some Virtual PinMAME tables on my arcade cabinet, but I really want a table.

Same but I have no idea about woodworking. I can do the electronics and software but the actual assembly is something I have little experience with

I may pony up the dough for a prebuilt one. I know, it's cheating.

It's probably the best way to go anyway. The only thing I know is a dealbreaker, 4k and must be 120hz. Hah

My dream is to make one, but its just not in the cards for now. Currently have a bootleg setup with a monitor i can rotate 90* and an arcade stick i modified with side buttons. I'd also look at something like this: https://www.clevelandsoftwaredesign.com/pinball-parts/p/virtual-pinball-pinone-mini-machine and a VR setup just to save on space
