    TZ Rom (For no ghosting LED's?)

    Are you getting ghosting or flickering? If it's flicker, set "Allow Dimable" to NO. If it's ghosting, it still might be less expensive to replace with non-ghosting LEDs, as opposed to the LED OCD boards. Don't you need to buy two boards - one for G.I. and one for everything else? They do...

    WNBJM

    I played the game at Allentown last year, and my opinion was that it's not really any different than any other EM pin, other than that it's brand new. You can find damn near perfect condition EM's out there for a fraction of the cost, so I can't figure out why someone would pay $8,800 for it...

    Pop bumper lamp socket

    I always wondered why they used non-insulated flat metal for these leads, and not regular insulated wire. I began to understand when I tried a socket with the insulated wire... they don't stand up straight in the pop bumper! The flat metal leads has the structural rigidity to keep the socket...

    Big thanks to mwong168 for connecting me with CFTBL for sale! Very much appreciated! In great shape, but dirty and is getting a full tear-down cleaning! I can really see why owners really love this pin!

    Ball "lost" in The Twilight Zone? lol

    First, are you able to find all 5 steel balls? One hasn't air-balled and lodged itself somewhere, right? If all 5 steel balls and 1 ceramic ball are accounted for, you might check the ball trough sensor connection. There is an eddy sensor at the end of the trough that detects the presence of...

    High Scores

    Witness! You owned that TSPP Chris! It was entertaining to watch! If you find that your couch shot flipper is weak, definitely clean up that flipper. I had that problem on mine, and after the rebuild, all the power was back. Also, make sure that there is enough (or even some) vertical play...

    Your First

    Stumbling upon a Bride of Pinbot at the Science Centre during their Game On 2.0 exhibit (2013) brought it all back for me. All the kids didn't care about the three pinball machines on display, so I just played them for a few hours. The sound effects from BOP evoked such strong memories from...

    Pinball Outlet

    Just my personal opinion, but driving 2 hours from London to see a few dirty, dinged-up pins at top-end prices is just going to result in disappointment. I had to drive 20 minutes and it wasn't worth the visit, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. If there is a specific pin you are...

    Game of Thrones Pro @ SB Showroom Now

    I thought it played nicely... A lot of flow to the game, and it's generous with points. Impressive light show. I think there's supposed to be a lot of strategic play with this pin. The kicker under the dragon fires the ball back perhaps even quicker than Iron Man! Sent from my iPad using...

    My other obsession (Toronto Blue Jays)

    The Terminator was awesome!!! Do they still play the "Ok Blue Jays!" song at the games? It was amazing in '92 when the whole SkyDome would be belting that out!

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I think this is where readers might get confused, as these statements come across as contradictory. Either a person is of their word or... well, they aren't. If you agree upon, and make a deal, you should honour it. If the buyer attempts to change that deal, you don't have to accept the...

    Calling All Enablers!!!

    Another way to try out many different titles is with The Pinball Arcade app... Strictly speaking, it's not the same as playing a real machine, but the app has lots of actual pinball machines accurately recreated in digital form. It's a good way of seeing what grabs you.
