Have you thought of building an allwin to your own design, using salvageable parts from old Nostalgic Machines?
I have two donors waiting for such re-use.

I can't see your picture/video.
Tell us where you live and we'll send food parcels, I'm worried you're spending too much time and burning out.

I've embedded it, as imgur.com doesn't play so good here:


A commendable effort. !THUMBS!
I think it demonstrates that trigger/hammer ball propulsion is better suited to an allwin than a pinball plunger, and maybe easier to construct too.

I like that!
You've put some thought into that, and now the inner gubbins?

Thanks PM! I couldn't see how to attach a video. The attachments option only seemed to allow uploading of images for me.

That would be a good project, if I could find a donor machine. It's probably the only way I'd ever be able to build a keeper. Unfortunately I suspect prospective donor machines are thin on the ground around where I live in Australia (Gold Coast).

Thanks! Ball return is probably as fancy as this one's inners is going to get. However I will keep trying to work out a usable trigger launcher. My first try using a passage door knob became way to cumbersome.

Ah! The distance may interfere with that notion.
I imagine not many Nostalgic Machines were sold in Australia!
