Hardware hacking goddess Jeri Ellsworth has been busy building her own pinball machine from scratch, and with subassemblies she’s cannibalized from other machines. On day three of the build, she runs through what she’s done so far. Can’t wait to see the finished machine.
I am glad someone is making a diy pinball machine. I have often wanted to do just that but have not. I still need to finish the skeeball machine I started last summer. Also, Jeri is hot.

It’s great that some people have the initiative to do things like this. Can’t wait to see the finished machine!

I don’t want to sound sexist, I just don’t see a lot of female industrial designers. I think that building a scratch pinball by anyone is tough, but a woman taking it on is quite inspiring.
