I have a few jobs on the horizon for the new year (couple of teardowns and a PF swap)...wondering if I could have a bit of advice on buying a vibratory tumbler or if one is really warranted. Would be nice for those metal parts to really shine. Pinside pointed me in the right direction as per...

Wishing all the PBRev members a very Merry Christmas. Be safe, and I hope those affected by the ice won't let it ruin their holiday plans. Eat lots, drink lots, play some pinball. It was a decent Christmas in our house already...

I’m going to take it upon myself to start a thread dedicated to pin-themed podcasts. Many of these shows have sprung up over the past two years, and for someone who has a 45-minute commute to and from work, these podcasts are just the ticket to make the time fly by. I’ll post a link as soon as...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-J-5HaO8ZM Old news by now, but I'd thought I'd post and comment here on the Elvira and the Party Monsters re-themed "Boobie Edition". I think the actions of the video's host say it all: he seems embarrassed talking about the game, and can hardly bring himself...

http://boulderarcadefactory.com/Signs_and_Key_Holders.php Opinions? Found the Boulder Arcade Factory through eBay, but I will be buying directly through his site above. I'm looking at getting a Williams key holder. He will charge $48USD shipped to my US address. Not a bad deal. I've still...

We've just moved into our new place, and we are now working on getting the basement gameroom completed. Projected completion is early February 2014. There will be a walk-in shoe closet down there too...that's the only way I was able to put a rush on getting the space built! Wondering if there...

Not sure if this has been discussed, but I figured it deserved its own thread. Our own DRANO has his name in print in Pinball Magazine #2. He is credited in the White Water section of the Dennis Nordman feature. Congrats...really cool to be named in an international periodical! Now if I...

**EDIT Elvira found. **EDIT Dec 26/13** Creech has been found...added to the collection before Xmas. Couldn't be happier. I know the newest game is always the "favorite" but in this case, it may be true. Still looking for a decent example of ELVIRA AND THE PARTY MONSTERS...why does it seem...

Watching a livestream of their Expo seminar...they announced a MM remake $7995....limited to 1000 units.

Following up her Stern Facebook Metallica signed translate win a while back (http://www.pinballrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=767), my wife won a pretty cool screenprinted poster from the Pinsanity tournament last year in New Jersey, courtesy of the Pinball Podcast with Don and Jeff...

Wondering what the general feeling is about registering your pins' serial numbers via the IPSND (http://ipsnd.net). Not sure what use these submitted numbers could be, but its awfully fun to look at. I love the fact that the site is numbers-based (LOTS of stats available on submissions and...

Anyone in the GTA have one of these? Thought I'd try here first before checking with Starburst or going stateside and getting a $9 refurb one shipped from K's Arcade. Goes by part # 5768-11096-00 Please check your scrap piles! Wondered why the Pinbot energy value flashers never worked...the...

Looks like the word just hit Pinside...Creech gets the colour treatment. You had to know this was going to be one of the next few releases. Wondering if this will hamper my search for a CFTBL...? I'm on a work computer with blocked/limited access to "gaming" sites so I can't link up photos...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Pete Campbell IS Funhouse Rudy. Both, coincidentally, are huge condescending, assholes. If they ever make a Funhouse movie...we know who's playing Rudy.

Pinball Ninja Webzine, a Spiro Agnew review. September 16, 2013 As far as the online presence of pinball repair goes, it appears to begin and end with Clay Harrell. His long, “lost” pinball repair guides (which can still be found mirrored in the neither-regions of cyberspace) have helped me...

It is probably a well discussed topic, but one that, to my knowledge, has not been started on this site in its own thread. Everyone is at different stages with their collection...some are near done, some are just starting out, some say they are done but are clearly not because they still keep...

Anyone ever play the Williams Sys11b game Transporter the Rescue? Thoughts? Low-ish production run on it, and I've never run into one. Looks cool...but only if you consider games like Swords of Fury the height of cool (which I do, unfortunately). http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=2630

I figured I’d post up my container experience for prosperity’s sake and for future reference (myself and others). It was my first foray into buying a pin from overseas, so I’m not the foremost authority on the subject, but can perhaps be considered a “noob voice” on the issue. I would have...

You can't keep a man with good intentions down. I'm looking at re-starting pinball t-shirt production in my basement...this time, without copyright issues! Should have went this route to begin with...hindsight is 20/20. I am currently talking to the guy that did my Funhouse tattoo--Kirk...

Rebuilding the flippers on TAF from the recent container. All flippers working before...yet very weak and had lots of give...needed a rebuild. I rebuilt the bottom right flipper with no problems, works well. Bottom left however, another story. Will not fire at all. Thought it may be a...
