Skeleton Mod for Tales Of The Arabian Nights

Mai 3rd, 2012

A friend of mine Andé Azzi was thinking about the skeleton will fit in the bed of nails area in ToTAN. So I tried it with some led enhancements…

It fits perfectly into the nails and I connected the eyes to a flasher downunder and the chest to the flasher under aladdins lamp…

Here you can find some fotos

After putting the big spiders on the slingshots. I tried some smaller spiders like this one.

In the final Version the spiders will come on complete new plastics. The painted spides will be removed on the new plastics, because the the real ones will sit on the plastic like at the following pictures:

Wii Harddisc Case

Juli 28th, 2011

I am in search for a nice Harddisc Case in white, but I didn’t find any nice looking case…

After this I decided to put a 3,5Zoll Sata Harddisc into a broken Wii.
I am planing to use the original Power Supply and the original USB Connectors.
wii_hd_case_final (Custom)

I opened the wii and removed all until you only have the main PCB inside

I removed to parts (red marked) to disable the USB Wires into the mainboard and connected the USB Cables from the USB/Sata Connector to the onbaord USB Port

wii_hd_case_usb_wires (Custom)

The power is taken from the Top Site of the mainbaord. Here I have to remove the original Fuse (red marked) to avoid getting any voltage to the mainboard.

You can get 12V to power up harddisc from the right site of the fuse.

GND is found at the edge of the mainboard.

I placed a standard 7805 voltage regulator to get the 5V for the Harddisc

Here you can see original case of the used USB/Sata Connector

I extended the power Led of the USB/Sata Adapter to the original power LED of the wii

Volume Control for WPC 95 Pins

Juni 24th, 2011

For changing the Volume of a pinball you always have to open the coindoor.
And mostly you have the key in the coindoor.
I find a solution to move the switches outsite of the coindoor.
So you can remove the key and it looks better.
I connected the volume + and volume – parallel to the switches inside of the coindoor.
But they don’t work without opening the door.
So I have to put a “coin-open” switch outsite too. Its the green one.
To change the volume you have to press the green once and then you can change the volume via the two red and black switches as usual.

Here the first pics

Here you can see my little treasure Project. It will be realized in a pin like Tales of Arabian Night.

I have put some RGB changing Leds into the chest and some holes into the treasure area.

And I have put some glasfibre into the holes to make the effect more viewable…

As it is hard to find original wpc95 Speakerpanel and 30Zoll LCD are rare to find. I make a new WPC95 Style Speakerpanel grows a little bit wider and higher so it fits for a 32Zoll Backglass Cabinet.
