I am swapping out a transistor on my Stern Nascar. 22NE10L STP transistor When I was swapping out some TIP 122 on my Checkpoint it was suggested I use TIP 102 (pretty sure those were the numbers, its been a while) anyhow.... I usually swap the same component but I was wondering if there was a...

Nascar seems to have a few intermittent issues. The main one being the garage. It was not always raising. My tech buddy came by and this machine is newer than anything he has worked on from his days as an arcade tech 20+ years ago. We swapped out the switch on the side of the mech that was...

I met up with Tim (fiftyquid) at Starburst. We did the old vehicle transfer Gor the machine up and running immediately. Lots of fun. I just have to tweak the leg levelling for the carpet it's on to get the test car to drop the ball to the left flipper 100% by adjusting the rear legs. Front are...

Got a new pin thanks for looking. Brad (High Speed, Checkpoint. Long gone: Bally Atlantis, Wizard!)

I was at work and my wife claims she couldn't figure out how to bid... Anyhow, I have yet to get an issue free machine from that auction. But heck now that the pricing bar has been set so low... Looking for a Nascar (or variant) for my current auto themed pin collection. (top priority) My wife...

Seems my Checkpoint is having a weird DMD issue. I usually play 3 players and have been having some sporadic issues with the DMD. Sometimes it works just fine. Other times it will only show the player 1 and 3 scores, sometimes it will go blank during the player 2 play just to work again on...

Unfortunately my phone didn't have the juice (and I was at work) to check any of the results. I was wondering what the Checkpoint ended up going for. It was $1000 before I left for my overtime shift at 10am. I still don't plan on selling mine yet but it's always good to keep up on what the...

I am still on the hunt for an undamaged Checkpoint ramp. If you have one or are planning on attending Allentown I am willing to pay $200 Cdn for a good ramp. At least I can watch the P&C auction to see what a non-working Checkpoint is going for soon enough... Thanks, Brad

I can say I am currently in this year. I have been to larger shows with more vendors and machines but this show is the closest. Thought I best start a thread so those who are not or cannot go can post what they may be looking for. I am not opposed to collecting a few prices and phone numbers...

I just noticed an Orbitor 1 backglass in the listing as well Lot 624 if you're looking for one. Shackelton auctions.

Shakelton auctions (near London) Sat January 17 3 early woodrail pinballs (one pic of each on site) Bally Booster 1937 Phoenix 1949 Palm Beach 1952 I certainly don't collect woodrails but someone out there may be interested.

Yeah, not liking all the 'free' hacks my board is getting. I think it's time to replace it rather that bypassing a section to wire them in on their own. Too many hacks could make flipping it out later more difficult. So if you have a good DE Checkpoint cpu drop me a line or better yet a...

As suggested I have began a thread with just all the fun stuff that comes with fixing up my DE Checkpoint I picked up at auction. Initially the left slingshot was not working correctly (scoring but not kicking) Anyhow. With my new load of mail order transistors fro ELELSU in London I am back to...

Just a bit of a heads up for those of you who travel in the US and like a frosty beverage. I had a union member who received a DUI when pulled over in a dry county (that the interstate ran through) in NY state. Being a dry county they had a zero tolerance for drinking and driving (they claimed...

I have a guy I am doing a bit of work for. His kids are putting the bug in his ear for a dance machine. Like dance dance revolution or similar. I was at an arbitration in London yesterday and the hotel had one of these machines. I tried to lift/move the 'dance floor' and it was either attached...

While recently at a home visit to do some pinball work on a High Hand the owners wife seemed more interested in getting rid of their pins and getting something her girls would like to play better. Like a Dance Dance revolution. I have heard that there are some retailers out there that will take...

My tech bud and I do the odd house calls for friends, etc. When I got the call from the owner of the local wrecking yard it seemed like a good opportunity to get some cheap parts down the road. Plus he's a friend of my brother in law. We got lucky and fixed his Allied Leisure Rock On pretty...

As I am off to meetings in the forest city today I am going to stop by Electrical & Electronic supply inc. on Nightingale Ave. Just thought I would inquire into if they are a good place to get transistors, resistors, etc. always good to hear if I am dealing with a good seller or if there is...

I need to do a few touch ups on the Checkpoint. Just wondering if anyone out there has any particular favourite brand. I have used the Tamiya paint markers in the past (camo on a tank model). but they didn't come in too many different types of tips. I have meetings in London on Thurs, Fri so I...

The ball seems to keep getting stuck in the right outside lane. as you can see in the pic there is a red/orange plastic under the 'Boost' plastic that tends to be lower than the other side. I am really hoping that when I am finished all my other work on the playfield that some wax will speed the...
