I've had this coke machine for a while now, and I honestly have no idea what it's worth. I saved it from getting dumpstered 12 years ago, and it should still work, but I really don't need it, and it's taking up space. It used to live in the Engineering Society office in Waterloo, where it sold...

So one thing I've noticed is that if I have a game open and have to work on something with the PF up, I get a little paranoid about it not staying upright and either a-falling on my head, or b-falling while I'm not there holding it and breaking something when it hits. Has anyone rigged...

So while I was working on CV this weekend, I ran across a couple of things that I wasn't able to figure out how to remove when I went to clean/wax the PF. I ended up working around them (since I wasn't doing a swap, it wasn't really necessary), but just so I know for the future, is there a...

So I just finished putting CV back together after a shop, but now it's blowing GI fuses. It was working fine for a couple of games, and then I turned it on again and noticed that the left strand was out. Checked the connectors-not burnt. Reseated-no change. Checked the fuse-blown. I didn't...

There's a couple of things I need to grab from pinbits, so if anyone else wants in to split shipping, send me a pm or email chris.bardon (at) gmail.com. I'm in Mississauga (Winston Churchill & Derry), so you could either pick up there, or I'm at most of the TOPL events. Starburst doesn't do...

So I noticed something strange on my TZ last night when I had a bunch of people over, and that's where the left flipper would stop returning to its home position after the game had been up and running for a few hours. I let the machine cool off a bit, started it up again, and it was fine for...

I've been having this issue on and off for maybe a year now on my JM, but it seems to be getting worse. What will happen is that I'll turn the game on, and everything is fine. Hand goes through its self test, finds its position, and the game starts. Then I'll lock a ball (first one is usually...

Looks like preorders for both are up now: Ps4 at 399, XB1 at 499. I know that I'll be in for one for sure, but not sure which will win out in the long run. I used my 360 almost exclusively this time around, and I've managed to get some good deals on Xbox stuff from friends who work at...

Looking for either an Attack From Mars or a Lord of the Rings. Doesn't need to be CQ-I'm much more interested in playing the games than looking at them. I have a CV that I can put in as part of a trade deal if that helps.

So one of the houses on our street went up for sale last week, and I went to check the listing just to see what it was going for. Flipped through the pictures, and saw this: Is it a bad sign that I noticed the pinball machine on the right side of the photo right away? Resolution sucks on...

This might be coincidence, but I think the same insert bulbs are getting burnt out over and over again on some of my machines. The 10 million door panel on TZ is out, and I'm sure that I changed it a few weeks ago. Might have just been a crappy bulb, but I know I've had the same thing happen...

Do any of you guys bother installing remote battery holders? I keep reading about them as a suggestion, but haven't bothered putting them in any of my games. I do try to change the batteries once a year, but I figured that if the batteries were going to leak, then you'd probably notice as long...

Given that I haven't bought a Stern pro since they went Costco, I'm just wondering what's typically different between them and the LEs/Premiums in terms of raw cabinet/PF hardware, and how much that matters: -Playfields: other than the obvious different features, are the pro PFs any different...

Does anyone have any experience with 3d printers? These keep coming down in price and getting better capabilities-I wonder when they'll get to the point where you can print pinball parts with them? Just read about the CubeX that can print stuff the size of a basketball? I really wonder what...

So I'm thinking about trading my CV for something new. I'd like to change things up, and don't have a bunch of free cash at the moment for pins, but if I lose CV, I'd like to get something else on my wish list in return. Not really interested in selling outright, but if you're interested in...

Just started watching this video from last year's pinburgh-there's a great game on TZ at the start of it, and I learned a few things about strategy on this game that I want to try out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvgnzLYOajE&feature=player_embedded One thing that seemed strange though-why...

Just saw that a new ROM got posted for DE Star Wars over at http://www.pinballcode.com/. Evidently, this guy dumped and edited the code by himself to improve the game? Wow... That's a serious project. I haven't really played this game much since it was new save for one time at Dave Astill's...

Does anyone else here print their own custom cards for their games? My first machine came with custom cards, and I thought it looked neat, so I kept doing it with the rest of my games. Some I grabbed from places like pinside and pinballrebel, and some were just assemblies of stuff from Google...

So I just noticed this on the X-Men I got what...three weeks ago? Check out the decal peel near the leg: Now, I can't remember if it was like this from the factory or not (the pictures from unboxing it don't have that angle unfortunately), so I can't say for sure whether it's been there the...

So the hand on my JM has been acting a little funny lately, and it's an intermittent problem so it's a little tricky to track down. Basically, I'll start a game, and sometimes (invariably when more people are over), part way through the game will decide that the glove is busted, credit dot and...
