Cabinet

While there have been a few odd cabinet shapes and widths (gottlieb did some funky backboxes, Atari had some super wide-bodies), most custom projects use the standard and widebody from Williams. The backbox of a williams typically has a deeper top and narrow bottom to match the angle of the lower cabinet so it sits flush and flat when folded. Stern has done a similar design for years, but has recently switched to a square backbox with T-molding, as well as a new tilted DMD bezel that is tilted back to minimize reflection on the glass.

Graphics

Numeric / Alphanumeric

Numeric and Alphanumeric are sometimes chosen even today because of the ease of programming. Creating dots for DMD animation can take a lot of time.
