Hey Guys / Gals, I don't normally do this, but after talking with another PBRev member they suggested I reach out to the PBRev community. On June 1, 2014, I will be riding 75kms in the Becel Heart&Stroke Ride for Heart to raise money to help Canadians live longer, fuller, healthier lives...

So I'm supposed to be posting my repair adventures to this section but I have been slacking. Not due to lack of repairs, but more to do with the fact I keep forgetting to take pictures of said repairs along the way, and I feel posts without pics just plain suck! So I apologize to those...

Just thought I'd post something for those that own P2K machines. I own an RFM and a SWep1 kit, and was a VERY early adopter of the NuCore system created by Chuck and Don of Big Guys Pinball. One of the many issues that P2K games have (beyond the original computer system and it's proprietary...

Yeah yeah, I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted any updates in here. What can I say, I've been busy. :) This thread is going to focus on a Stern Whitestar MPU out of a LOTR. I had a member contact me just before the Ottawa show about his LOTR MPU, and how it had suffered some very very...

Alright, literally just finished this repair and thought I'd post it up because well... it turned out to be simple, which means a nice short write up. This PCB came to me from one of our PBREV members a few weeks ago, but given my back-log among other things I just didn't have the time to...

Almost missed this one buddy! Hope you have an excellent birthday, and that your wife gives you some special bday culo! :D (enable her!!!!) D

I was browsing through RGP and came across an excellent thread about this, and thought I would share. The answer is the ones that are based on Halotron1, an electrically non-conductive "clean" extinguishing liquid agent that quickly turns into gas when applied. Halotron 1 is an EPA- and...

Today's installment is unfortunately going to be pretty much all text, because I haven't been taking any pics of this game. (I honestly never expected it to become part of this section if that is any indication) I have been working on this game on and off for a few months at a friends, and it's...

After many many many years of people working on this (and me personally supplying an original NOS decal to Darin Jacobs) the guys over at Twisted Pins have finally managed to pull this off. For the first time ever, an original style reproduction of the foil topper on Wh20 is now available...

Alright, last one for tonight... This one was a little interesting because there is history between this particular game and myself. At some point last year I had the pleasure of meeting Warlock (one of the nicest, most sincere people you could ever meet I might add) at one of the many pinball...

While I'm still relatively awake figured I'd keep the posts coming... I got a call about an Addams Family that was having a reset issue, a flipper issue, and the owner had also bought one of the new ColorDMD's for the game and asked me to install it. No problem. First up, the reset. The...

Alright, finally forced myself to sit at my PC and start organizing all of my notes and pics that I've been collecting over the past several months of various repairs that I've done on various games. This is the first time I've ever really "blogged" anything, so forgive me if things are not...

If the game hasn't had any of the grounding mods done to it, I highly suggest you start there. D

If you've got the aux lamp board already, can't see this being overly difficult where you have the schematics. The only thing I can see that you're missing is the lamp map for the light box. (you have the cart with locations, but no idea what lamps are what in the schematic) If you can find...

Was reminiscing over the weekend about the last 12 years I've been collecting, and it got me thinking about the number of games I've had in and out of my place and how I've been fortunate not to have any accidents moving them up and down my stairs etc etc... One of the things that got me...

Not pinball related so it's here... Cool none the less. http://mediaburn.org/video/wired-in-raw-28/ D

Ok, I know that this is probably what Adam scores on his 1st ball but this was an EPIC game on Shadow for me last night... First time I've ever reached "The Final Battle" and got 17 of the 27 shots towards the 1B jackpot. Really like this game. Look forward to other members contributing their...

And he thinks it's gooooooood!
