That was a fun interview. Allison came in to the arcade about 5 months ago and was hoping to have the story out sooner, but she kept getting pulled away to other big stories like the queen dying.
Apparently her and her family were going on vacation to PEI, she had heard about us, and decided...
Picked up a project Playboy missing the entire transformer module (listed as AS-2877-1 in the manual). I need the transformer, mounting plate, rectifier, etc. Anyone have a machine they're gutting?
Yeah. Cows that that stuff is a roundabout away.
As a side note, I made a video update on the status of the arcade. Short story, we're on track and electrical should be easier. Also in the video I create a useful pinball tool.
If I'm honest, I actually haven't explored Cornwall. Our place is right when you cross the town boundary from Charlottetown so I haven't really driven around down there. I should.
It's taken awhile with some stumbles in BC with bylaws, hauling 70 machines to PEI, then waiting for a pandemic to settle down, but the arcade is finally opening.
If everything goes right, we should open in June - hopefully early June rather than later.
I was in Tacoma a few weeks ago filming the NW Pinball and Arcade show for a documentary I'm working on. It was an amazing effort. 400 machines get hauled in on Thursday, show opens Friday, runs all day Saturday. They shut the show down on Sunday at 3:00 PM and they have to be out of the venue...
I'm using 1 Shot lettering enamel (http://www.1shot.com). It's super tough with good colours. Very opaque.
I've touched up my Big Guns machine with it (just used the paint, no clear coat over it). The machine has been in a public environment for at least 9 months and the paint is holding...
Cool. I'll send out some feelers to these guys when I get a bit closer to getting the backglass art put together.
A friend of mine used to work for a company that might have the ability to print to glass. I'm going to look into that as well.
