## Reference Pinball

We are very fortunate to have access to a real Pinball Machine.
|
||||
The machine in question is "The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard" (January 1994).

## Precision
|
||||
|
||||
Some DIYers suggest a precision of 3mm (for the main screen fitting for example)
|
||||
|
||||
## Art work
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously the Level2 Pinball cabinet wants to be customized with beautiful Art-work. We would need someone to design the outer shell of the cabinet.
