Dutch Pinball's subsidiary DPX's new pinball machine, Alice in Wonderland, AIW, will be on display very soon.
He will surely be presented to you for the 1st time in Europe at the DPO, Dutch Pinball Open, on the weekend of November 1-3, 2024 in Eindhoven..
Before, if we can in the USA at the Chicago Motor Show from October 16 to 19.
 
Podcast, video, presentation at trade fairs, invitation of dealers to the factory for the briefing, streaming with Flipper parties, in short everything goes on its course.
You may have seen two photos on social networks this week, the rest will follow in the coming weeks.

 

 

 
In the meantime, we are pleased to announce that the company Buthambourg will be the supplier of trays for Alice in Wonderland.
This marks a turning point in the supply of pinball trays for industrial use, from a pinball machine manufacturer. 
Here you will find Buthamburg Playfields. 
Our Buthamburg Playfields are manufactured in lovingly handcrafted.
The base of the Playfield, the wood, consists of a birch multiplex core veneered on both sides with maple. We manufacture all of our inserts ourselves using the injection molding process, the inserts are matched to the originals. For older pinball machines like Alien Poker, we use Star Burst Inserts. The original inserts cup, its not a matter of if it will cup, it’s a matter of when it will cup. The Star Burst Inserts do not cup because of the bracing. The adhesive we use is precisely tailored to our inserts.
 The CAD and graphic files are painstakingly edited, prepared and checked. When the test milled playfield is accepted, the series is milled in-house. The inserts are glued and sanded by hand. There are a lot of videos on Face Book from Buthamburg. After the playfields have been primed and rested, they leave the carpentry and head for printing.
You can see this video on Youtube 

Once the trays have been primed and reinstalled, they leave the carpentry and head to the print.
Once successful, the trays are taken to the paint shop.
The varnish used for 2 decades has proven itself.

This finalization in the making of Alice in Wonderland, is the culmination of a year and a half project, following the storages that I had been emptying in the USA in February-March 2023..
The adventure continues and let's see how far it will take us
