    WTB Looking for references on restoring a 1962 AMI juke box

    If I remember correctly, @necro_nemesis has restored a bunch of jukeboxes.

    Princess Bride is the next P3 title

    The multiple toppers/side art etc seems to make more sense if you were putting the game out on location somewhere, or even taking it to shows, but at home, even changing/storing the artwork seems like a lot. Maybe if you're only doing one or two changeovers a year? Another great theme, but I...

    Spike 3 coming soon - Metallica

    So what's the difference going to be between spike 2 and 3? It it just an upgraded main board, and all the node boards are the same? Given the way things are distributed in Spike games, that seems like the only thing that would need a significant upgrade. What CPU is on that board? I'd have...

    Nitro Pinball comes east

    OK, so not something I'm just imagining. They're clearly on the list though, so maybe that means Stern is open to more dealers in Canada now? Probably oversimplifying a lot, but I do wonder whether any of it has to do with Gary not being in charge anymore. The exclusive territory thing is an...

    Nitro Pinball comes east

    I remember hearing at one point that P1 had exclusivity on Stern in Canada, and that Nitro had to get their Stern stock through them. Is that not true anymore?

    Stern Jaws

    Being able to cradle the ball on that mini flipper is a neat trick.

    Stern Jaws

    Thanks-I'm actually really curious to shoot both the pro and the premium on this one-it actually looks like the pro might be OK? The boat in the "down" position is identical on both, so really all it changes there is that the shark bash toy becomes another shot to the same captive ball bash...

    Stern Jaws

    Doesn't look like there's a feature matrix up, but pro seems to be missing upper PF, and the shark bash toy and boat are combined? Kind of surprised that they got Richard Dreyfuss to do custom speech for it. I guess he's the one that's still alive? I figured we'd get a decent Robert Shaw...

    Do you even play?

    If I'm playing at home, it's typically only a game or two at a time, so it takes a while to add up. Everything gets used when I host TOPL here, and I'm also playing weekly at different people's collections for league, so it's a decent balance. Plus I'll definitely play my games in waves, so...

    TZ 3rd Magnet video.....

    You could always edit in annotations/text after the fact, either overlaid on the video, or as stills between clips? If you got really fancy, you could chapter stop those on youtube so you could skip to a specific step directly, and have a description with a list of steps. That way you could...

    SOLD 500 boarded/bagged comics. Trade ??

    Are comics from the 90s worth anything these days? I still have thousands. Haven't found anywhere that will take them, but also haven't looked too closely.

    Spooky TCM or Looney Toons

    Ok, confirmed that they have Eric Bauza doing custom voice, so that should be good. Looks like it could be a winner-see how it shoots, and how the code turns out. Anyone bringing one north?

    Spooky TCM or Looney Toons

    So it's another ultraman/halloween situation with the same playfield, but different code? No interest in TCM, but a good Looney Tunes game could be fun. Trailer was all music though, so I wonder what they have for callouts?

    Labyrinth Pinball

    Nice! Did you end up ordering the topper and alternate BG? How's the build quality and support so far?

    SOLD Avengers Infinity Quest Premium

    Wow, that is a hell of a price. Buyer's market for sure. One of the best modern games out there.

    SOLD Rush Pro. Keeping game.

    I'd grab this if someone wants to buy my Spider-Man, but otherwise I don't have the cash/space to take it. It's a game I'd like to own for at least a while though-music is really good, but I still don't have a good handle on the rules.

    Hardest and easiest pins you’ve ever played.

    Given that you can make any game easier/harder based on the physical setup, I usually tend to think about the complexity of the rules, and the opportunities to progress through the game in different ways. A lot of games tend to boil down to "do this one thing" to score well. There might be...

    JJP Elton John

    That looks like a lot of long shots-reminds me a little bit of 24. I'm not a huge Elton John fan, but I'm looking forward to playing this at least. If anything, the news here is that this is a faster release cadence for JJP games than we've had before-I don't know if that's going to hurt them...

    Labyrinth Pinball

    That definitely looks pretty neat. My first thought when they said Labyrinth was moving walls of some sort, but it looks like they at least have a couple of diverters and single drop targets to change up the way things move. Getting the music is a huge plus too-not sure you could do a game...

    Labyrinth Pinball

    I'm very interested in seeing it, but new manufacturer could be trouble. Those haven't always ended well. Still, can't have been a cheap license, since I think Disney owns this, and I'll bet a side deal with Bowie's estate was necessary for likeness and music? Looking forward being able to...
