In this new page I am going to be posting my progress on my pinball machine.

My machine's theme will be The Garden of Eden.

At my school I have a deadline of May 8th 2015.

What I have done so far is:

1. put the flippers in
2. mounted the flipper buttons and their appropriate switches
3. mounted ball launcher
4. built the cabinet body
5. built the marquee
6. Finished It!!!
