    I'm joining the CIRQUS!!!

    Well, I've finally been able to get a JPOP game into the lineup! :D CV arrived yesterday and got quickly set up in the garage for some testing. I have a project TOTAN but it will be months before I get that game finished and home. CV presented itself as a trade involving my XMLE so I jumped...

    SOLD 1975 Gottlieb SPIN OUT

    I'm starting to consider selling off a few of my EMs... at least the ones I've had a while. Spin Out is a great and punishing game with a really cool retro open-wheel racing theme. I originally got this game for it's roto-target; the main feature of the game. Only a handfull of EMs used this...

    SOLD XMEN LE Wolverine

    This is probably the cleanest Wolverine you're likely to find. If you are not familiar with the pin, I urge you to come and try it out. XM was the first Stern pin in a long time to have hand-drawn artwork, custom full screen animations, custom sounds/callouts, music etc... It features great...

    Anyone got this switch for Banzai Run?

    eems switch 5647-12133-10 is a bit hard to locate. The one in my BR is a bit chewed up and it's not as easy as replacing it with a new switch that has a thin wire actuator. I think the wear and tear on this switch demands a beefier metal arm. The game uses two of these to stop/start the ball...

    Anhyone having trouble posting pics?

    I've been trying to update my restoration thread since Friday. Every time I try to upload a pic the site goes to a blank white screen. It happens in a variety of places on different networks, so I'm not suspecting a firewall or connectivity issue. Anyone else having similar problems?

    Looking for Atari SUPER SPRINT bezel [FOUND err MADE]

    I know this is primarily a pinball forum, but the admins over at CGCC.ca seem to not want to reply to my registration requests and get my account up and running... so I'm sure I'll find a few vid guys here. Recently picked up a nice Atari Super Sprint from DavidC near Montreal. This is my first...

    Allentown... who's going and what are you looking for?

    With Pinfest in Allentown just a few short weeks away, I thought it would be fun to see who's going? Last year was my first trip and it was great to see that a ton of collectors from London to Quebec City (and all places in between) were in attendance. Kind of funny that all the Canadians chose...

    Dr@No's fun filled (and often long-winded) restorations

    Hi Everyone, So I've been meaning to do this for a while, so here it goes. This will be a little spot in PREV where I can catalogue and share some of my restoration work and other pinball related projects (successes and failures alike) and hopefully help some people, as well as learn from...

    Missing the Thrill of the hunt -WTB: GODZILLA, TOM, ACDC etc

    I've picked up a few new games recently... but they sorta came to me. I haven't really had the thrill of chasing down a pin in a while, so here it goes. Of the titles out there that I have not owned, these few stand out. -Sega Godzilla -Theatre of Magic -ACDC (would prefer a premium)...

    Message From Steve Ritchie: Barry Oursler Needs Your Help!

    I don't normally like to cut and paste from other forums, but it seems like a good cause. We certainly take free healthcare for granted. Here's the original text post from SR on Pinside: And the link ( http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ ... -your-help ) Barry Oursler has made huge...

    BSD - The one that got away... and came back!

    So, after selling my original one a few months back, BSD is back in the lineup! It's a pretty nice unfaded example and should be staying a while. It has a few interesting bugs to sort out though... but nothing crazy. Mostly weird stuff like coin door menu buttons that decide to be difficult...

    SOLD Gottlieb BLACK HOLE - all mods done

    Selling my very nice BH. This game was purchased early last year from Menace. I understand that he had a couple of BH and selected the best parts from each for this machine. It is a great and punishing player with some of the coolest 'mood' of any pin. Doug did all of the grounding mods...

    Holiday gift for METALLICA & XM owners???

    Looks like owners of XM and MET may have something to rejoice about soon. Posted on Stern's Facebook page earlier today: Hopefully XM and XMLE will finally be complete! Nearly a year in the making. I know the current code is pretty good already, but it would be nice to have something 100%...

    WTB - sys11 Coin Door

    Looking for a replacement for my re-import HS door. I got this off a container. The game is in great shape.... the door? Not so much. I would prefer something correct for the era of course. Not only is mine a Euro version, it's pretty banged up. Not looking for perfection. I'm willing to clean...

    SOLD XM LE - Wolverine

    I almost sold this game several months back after a lot of grief waiting for good code and watching other titles from Stern take the front seat. Over the last few months I've been very pleasantly surprised with the new code that has been added. Even though the game has finally reached its...

    Pinball Furniture

    Just wanted to share a little project idea that I'll be working on over the next few months. I was fortunate enough to score this empty Countdown cabinet from TIMB (thanks Tim!) and figured it would make an awesome piece of furniture for my son's room. This era of Gottlieb had some great...

    A rare fish sighted in my gameroom!

    I have the brief pleasure of housing a super rare game for a friend this week. This excellent Gottlieb Neptune showed up on Saturday morning and will be leaving on Thursday :( Not nearly enough time to fully enjoy it, but I am going to try my hardest. It was pieced together and lovingly brought...
