    MISSING PERSON: Guelph, ON

    Really sorry to hear about your brother, Brock. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through right now.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Well, to be completely honest, I can't see if it's faded on the right hand side of the machine ;), but the left and front look like there isn't any fading. Usually the heart graphic at the start button is almost yellow from fade. If the right side is comparable to the rest, I think that's...

    I got a chance to play the Big Lebowski and Ghostbusters machines

    I played TBL at Allentown last year... the only problem they had with the prototype then was that the kicker sending the ball back to the under-playfield bowling game wasn't making it. Such a great theme!

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    For the wear on the playfield, the cabinet has next to no fade whatsoever! The reds are still red! I know that wear and fade are two different things, but general condition-wise...

    TIP WIZARD MODE Premiere at Hot Docs 2016

    Just played some head-to-head with Robert over at Frolic's... I had the slight advantage after the 2nd ball, no big deal :D ...then he absolutely annihilated me on the 3rd ball by over 110 million points! :jawdrop: Hey... he's the PAPA World Champion, it's not like I had any delusions of...

    How to Load and Unload a Machine

    This is a great way of getting a pin in and out of your vehicle! Loading is so much easier than walking it in. Just make sure you remove the rollers before you start driving, as if they are left under the pin, the pin becomes the very definition of a 'loose cannon' and will undoubtedly get...

    How to Load and Unload a Machine

    Depending on the pin, and assuming all parts are there: 1. Unplug the machine, and feed the power cord back into the body of the cabinet (depending on the fitting) 2. Open the coindoor, unlatch the lockdown bar, and remove the playfield glass. The playfield glass should be tempered or...

    Insanity at it's best Evel Knievel $12,500

    Is there any chance the seller mistakenly added an extra zero to his price, and then took the ad down?

    Insanity at it's best Evel Knievel $12,500

    Is the ad still up? I wanted to see it, but it looks like the ad is gone. Even tried searching kijiji, but no luck.

    Princess Auto 660lb Hydraulic Scissor Lift Table

    I bought this one from CT: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-rolling-lift-cart-330-lbs-0091035p.html#.Vw-8a0JhP8s It's only 17 inches wide, so it's a bit like Quagmire and gets between the legs of everything! It has half the lifting capacity, but it lifts everything I've got. TZ...

    Hobbit arrives at Playdium Store

    I have to echo the points about the mechanical noise emitted by this game... I played it at Allentown last year, and at ReplayFX, but I guess there was much more ambient noise than at the Playdium Store... The game at the Playdium store sounds like set of plastic gears has lost a couple of teeth!

    here comes the bride...

    I like the Bride as she is too... I was able to try a game on a 2.0 at Allentown, and I have to give credit to DP, as it is a very cool mod and add to the ruleset. I'd love to try one again sometime. That said, to me, it had none of the charm of the original.

    FOUND Coil AE-23-1200

    What pin is that from? Even a Google search for images of that coil didn't come up with any.

    Kijiji Sux

    I've got no problem with that! As you suggested, the deposit is there to compensate you for any lost potential buyers should he decline to buy. If he still wants to buy, come bring the rest of the cash.

    Kijiji Sux

    Yeah... your supposed buyer is a little optimistic. That said, in my opinion, Kijiji and Craigslist are a market of negotiation. You can list your price as 'firm' all you want, but people are on Kijiji & CL because they are looking to make a deal. The other side of the coin is sellers who...

    Pinball with the Oculus Rift...

    Neat cabinet made for VR pinball, but I think nudging might knock it over! Contrary to what the builder said, I'm not convinced it will affect the resale of real pins... perhaps just open up a better avenue to play for those that find real pins too pricey!
