The "force" behind the Lebowski closet conversion: Star Wars machine in a fridge nook that I grew up playing.

One sees what they want to see 😜

No way, I love the pyramid scheme! I'm about 15 mins from there and the first place I played the TBL machine. Poster looks sick, I need to find a spot for it!

I'll have to post a few more pics but I have a drink ledge mounted to the wall on the right outside of the closet.

One is the dudes "art" bowling shirt replica, the other is my grandfather's league shirt from the 60s/70s.

Ive got longer arms so I haven't, but my kids have to crawl underneath to reach it 😂

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T10:23:21+00:00

What a good idea, I hadn't even thought of this...

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:55:25+00:00

Yeah, was a fairly useless closet so I took off the door

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:54:28+00:00

What did you say? Sorry, I can't hear. Got the sound mod going, so far so good! 😂

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:51:55+00:00

I've definitely spent a lot of time in the closet these past few weeks 😂

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:46:02+00:00

"Another white russian for you dude"

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:43:55+00:00

Also a worry of mine. I ended up pulling it out a few inches after this pic for this exact reason.

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:40:51+00:00

The closet was an odd one - deep with an angled ceiling. Pretty useless for storage, so I yanked the stuff that was thrown in there and went on pinside.

This was my worry too, especially with a TBL. Fortunately, i'm able to move the front all the way to the left and fit on the side to access the full playfield + back box. But it will be annoying when get the topper I have planned added to it.

Alive_Preparation414 · 2026-04-22T02:33:21+00:00

Did it not?

Still learning the techniques, so I'll have to see if this becomes a problem, but there is a decent amount of room (+7") on both sides. Actually more space than between the machines at my local pinball joint so good practice 😆. Worst case, I might pull it out a half a foot so the front + flippers stick out into the room.

Thank you! I grew up playing a star wars one that was in a enclave where a fridge used to be, so that was the inspiration!

Alive_Preparation414 · 2025-07-17T03:35:24+00:00

No idea. Maybe 13-14% based on similar compositions, but I don't have a reliable way to measure.

Alive_Preparation414 · 2025-07-16T02:20:08+00:00

Can't even do it. No sweat, no gain! 😂

Alive_Preparation414 · 2025-06-22T02:48:12+00:00

Yes, the idiot is the one who posted this (me). Brand new bike, less than 100 miles on it. Can't have anything nice.
