    Game Plan and the MIKE BOSSY SCORING MACHINE

    I got to meet NHL legend, Hall of Famer and greatest NY Islander of all-time Mike Bossy last night at an exclusive meet and greet...of course I asked him about the never-produced Game Plan "Mike Bossy Scoring Machine" pinball machine. Judging by his reaction, he had forgotten all about it. It...

    Corrosion is bad, right?

    Opened up my Fire last night. Under playfield looks mint. The backbox however held some bad news. Corrosion on the MPU. Attached is a pic of the affected area. To some of the veterans...this board is toast right? The game boots and the power supply checks good. I get a "bong" but no LEDs...

    Writing about pinball at creditdotpinball.com

    Against my better judgement, I’ve decided to start a blog. “Blog” is kind of a dirty word and it probably doesn’t describe what I’m attempting. I needed a way to post long-form, opinion-oriented, essay-style writing about pinball in an easy-to-read format. I think long-form writing is a void...

    Awesome Pinball Trophy "Brown Water"

    Got wind of this through the guys at the Pinball Podcast a month or so ago...the Pittsburgh Pinball League's last place trophy. Great Idea...build a hideous and offensive "trophy" that the last place finisher *must* keep in his/her game room for the entire year. Hilarious...fantastic art on...

    "Fireproofing" Pin*Bot and other early Sys11 games

    Thought I would share my well documented, yet under utilized fix for early Williams System 11 games up to and including Fire! I find that very ironic...they fixed this design flaw–one that would literally start a fire in the backbox–after the release of the game Fire! PBRev member Grauwulf...

    Dateline: Monday January 20th. The day the renovation of the basement begins. Can't take any credit for the progress being made down there...I got a great local firm to come in and get it done. I have little time and skill for such things, and besides, I'd rather get it completed in a month...

    Does anyone here care? Pinside is abuzz about the announcement from JJP that an announcement will be made. References to "threes" and "epic". Reading high expectations of some on the Pinside thread, it seems that anything short of Pat Lawlor returning to pinball and teaming up with Paul...
