You can see that the silkscreen is a bit messed on the white rectangle I left as a space to write on. Small gripes for hobby PCBs and overall I'm quite happy how they turned out.
I was getting to the point where I really needed to build on something. I have numerous pinball parts but have nothing to attach them to. I managed to find some pinball plans for a Williams Widebody pinball machine. All the measurements are in mm sadly even though all pinball cabinets are in inches. I converted and change it all to the nearest quarter inch. Well sort of. The guy who measured this was intending on using 45 deg cuts in the corners.
