    *HELP* Bally 6803 sound problems - Special Force

    Hi Everyone, I'm a bit stumped on this recent game I got on the way to Allentown. It's a Bally Special Force. Dennis Nordman's first design and a surprisingly fun pin for the money... even if the military theme is a bit severe. Anyway, it had plenty of issues and I and another member worked on...

    SOLD New MM playfield - any interest?

    I have a Medieval Madness repro playfield. Bought it a while ago for $1100. The plan was originally to buy a beat routed MM (like the ones that Gerry sometimes gets on his container deals) and restore/flip. Since I already have a pretty nice MM in my lineup and tons of other projects piling up...

    For anyone who's ever wanted to install a shaker motor in a standard LOTR (only the LE version was able to support this from factory) there is a great how-to guide on pinside posted by MARKMON. I did this mod last night and it works pretty well. I'm copying a lot of Markmon's directions here...

    Allentown Diaries - Pinheads, Parts and Predator

    So I can finally scratch my first pinball show off the bucket list :) After almost 8 years of collecting I made the trip to Pinfest in Allentown with some of the ON boys. Great experience! I never attended any StarBurst auctions or any other events prior to this, so it was great to put some...

    Playfield protector

    Those look super interesting. Would love to see how they work once you get it. My first question would be, how does it do with uneven inserts (raised or lowered)... and how does it stay down? Very cool

    Playfield touch up - Zaccaria Farfalla

    So, I thought I would share this small, but satisfying, little project. I'm in the middle of cleaning up a Zaccaria Farfalla that I got from one of Gerry's containers a while back. The cabinet is coming along nicely and I'd just been addressing a few small playfield issues in preparation for a...

    Duck Hunt hybrid pin from SkitB

    Just thought this was kinda fun. They've shown bits of it on the sidelines during a lot of the predator update vids, but it's nice to see it finally operational. http://www.youtube.com/embed/aZs4VVwsH4 ... ay=1&rel=0

    All my pins under one roof - the TRUE holy grail!

    So, it looks like my new gameroom might soon move from dream to reality! While my project may not be quite as ambitious as Adam's new "facility" in Keswick :) one of the things I have wanted for so long, more than any game, is to have all my pins under one roof and in a space where I could not...
