I’ll start this thread to document the facelift I’ll be giving my newly acquired Bally Six Million Dollar Man. It should be a slow process, so no need to buckle up. We can rebuild him… The game is a bit of a dream theme of mine. While not being old enough to remember the Bionic Man from his...

Coast 2 Coast Pinball has a new video project entitled Pinball with the Pros, wherein Nate from C2C plays a Stern game with a guest--a player ranked in the Top 50 of the IFPA. Its a great way to learn a game for competition play. Stern games are used because Stern is the sponsor. Episode 1 of...

Here's a quick mod for the few EM types that frequent here. Gottlieb bells and chimes are known as the high water mark in electromechanical "music". After hearing the soothing bells/chimes on a Gottlieb wedgehead, your aural senses will be spoiled for all other EM noise. That's exactly what...

I'm not sure how many EM guys are left on the boards, but I thought I'd share my latest project, which is Martha Stewart-approved, I'm sure. I was inspired to put together an EM scoreboard by Drano, who has his high scores listed on a chalkboard near his machines. China markers (aka grease...

I saw that I was at 999 posts this morning. What better way to commemorate 1,000 PBRev posts, than with a thread dedicated to it. That is all.

I started re-spraying cabinets late this summer, and started with my Gottlieb Solar City; the long-winded write-up of which can be found here. Since, I have had the pleasure of working on a few cabinets for some of the members of this board. In about seven weeks, I completed the stripping...

It has been a while since I've added something semi-productive to this site, so I decided to chronicle the face lift I gave my Gottlieb Solar City cabinet. I hesitate to use the word “restore” because it is an overused term in this hobby. I tried to bring the cabinet back to factory original...

Check out Classic Playfield Reproduction's new Joker Poker playfield. Full photo gallery can be seen here. This one turned out brilliantly--best seen in CPR's comparison with a beat up original. The "floating art" over the woodgrain really pops, and those classic Gottlieb pinks and blues show...

Just putting it out there for anyone who may be interested. My wife makes bucket hats and bonnets for toddlers and kids, and she came across some pinball fabric on the 'net. Would anyone else here be interested in dressing up their kiddos in pinball patterns? She charges $25.00CDN per hat...

I remember a few people talking about a guy who repro's these doors in the (north) GTA...does this ring a bell with anyone that can pass along the info? I just bought my first two EMs, and wouldn't you know it, both are missing the backbox door. I need a wedge door and a two-player door if...

Is there a game that has just eluded you? Forget ownership, is there a game out there you have just not played ever despite popularity or high production runs? I can freely admit, I've never had a game on an F14 Tomcat. It has been at shows, and I've seen them around...I just have never...

Time to move Demolition Man. Game works 100%. No credit dot. Strong DMD display. Game looks to be a re-import, but has been on Canadian soil for quite some time. Modded the rear girders with blue LED strips from Comet Pinball (see the write-up here...

Rob Zombie's Spookshow International, limited to 300 units. Kind of a tour through Mr. Zombie's career. You get to build a "Living Dead Girl", battle Capt. Spaulding from House of 1000 Corpses and so on. Interesting theme choice.

No chit chat. Just a guy destroying Orbitor 1 in HD. You really get a feel for the balls' wacky movement in the video...love the beneath-the-held-up-flipper move. Still doesn't make me want to own one...

It seems that there are certain titles that are more plentiful in Ontario/Quebec than others, despite the production run numbers. Likewise, there are some games that just never come up for sale and are never spotted in private collections. I'll start, only because I've done the legwork on this...

In the spirit of Warlock and Brewmanager's epic pinball battle, Drano and I decided to do a throw-down of our own. First to win 50. We are currently at the VFW show in Ann Arbour, and with 250 games on site it's a great battleground to start the competition. On the line is a seafood dinner...

Looking to buy a MA translite in good condition. Some art has worn away on mine, and I'd like a suitable replacement. Let me know what is out there. Thanks!

Just a heads up to everyone who owns EATPM or SS...Elvira will be appearing at the Niagara Falls Comic Con June 5, 6, and 7. A great opportunity to get your back glass, translite, apron or apron card signed by the Mistress of the Dark. There's a plethora of oddball "celebrities" appearing this...

Putting the feelers out there for a Cleopatra, perferably the SS version. Projects welcomed.

There are two plastic girders that run along the top of the backboard of Demolition Man that sit dark 95% of the time despite having transparent blue plastic worked into their design. This is an area BEGGING to be lit up. There are three flashers back there...but their use is limited, leaving...
