I have two discs from disc brakes that might be useful for something.

I’m trying to think of a way they could be used to add randomisation the pinball...

Spinners have a rich history in pinball, though that's usually done with a flat disc

I was thinking maybe some kind of rotating magnet below the table. Might not need to be powered - just the interaction between the ball and magnet could move it to another position

I love the idea, but I suspect that pinball purists would be horrified at the idea of spinning neodymiums.

pinball purists are going to be horrified by most things.

Admittedly electro-magnets offer more control, but we could have a ramp leading to a big spinny thing with magnets on it ;)

I’ll drop them in over the weekend then. If they turn out to be no good at least they are recyclable :)

Just throwing my hat in if one of the discs is going spare, they make an ideal firepot for a solid fuel forge I'm getting designs together for 😉 Pinball takes priority obviously!
