    Price of NIB pins

    Given the price of a NIB pin...probably nothing! Going full bore on a major EM restoration right now so that'll keep me busy. If I were to go NIB it'd be Iron Maiden Pro or Premium.

    Price of NIB pins

    Seems like our friends down south generally get something off MSRP or free shipping. Never having bought NIB before -- what's the deal in Canada? Any difference between Nitro and P1AG in this regard?

    TIP Upcoming P1 Auction

    Fun to watch, but I think prices + fees historically have been too high.

    Common ground wire soldered to lights?

    Yes I resoldered although gravity doesn't help when you have the playfield vertical. My skillshot works, I have never had a close look.

    Common ground wire soldered to lights?

    I do have a D&D as well and found a few of the under playfield sockets had their solder joint to the common wire broken when the previous owner replaced with LEDs. So yes, you may have to gently bend the socket to get the bulb in & out but be careful not to break the solder joint.

    Cheap vacuum form solution coming?

    Not as cheap as your oven and shop vac! Seems kind of small too, no good for forming ramps.

    How to Load and Unload a Machine

    I strongly recommend buying a stair-climbing appliance dolly like this: https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.appliance-dolly-800-lb-capacity.1000103861.html Even a weakling programmer like me can move a 250lb machine by myself with it (downstairs at least).

    Ultrasonic Cleaner (USC)

    I would be wary of the "Metal Rescue" from Canadian Tire. It may leave a black residue that is hard to get off. Evaporust on the other hand works great!

    ColorDMD's next game is... Monopoly

    This was done by a community member, no doubt because he owns the game and wanted to for fun. With this approach, any game on a supported platform can be colourized by someone with the interest and talent to doing so. This is a great approach by ColorDMD to expand the appeal of their product...

    Best Dolly to Buy for moving pins?

    I have one with the stair climber feature like the first ones shown. Then you can smoothly lower it down stairs with no jolts. I can move pins myself with it ( well move them in anyways, none have left so far!) Having a piece of plywood as a ramp to get over thresholds is handy especially if...

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

    OK, good to know that cutting frisket is not going to work well. Some folks on pinside mentioned the same thing, they are using something called OraMask 813 instead. This thread has lots of information about cutting it on the cameo: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic ... -it-begins I will...

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

    So tiny you wonder how the player would appreciate it! I'll practice frisket + airbrush and see how steady my hand is! Have you ever investigated a Cricut or Silhouette Cameo cutter? Those look like they could be awesome for cutting frisket, even for text. At about $300 I am tempted to try it.

    Try posting on maaca too there are some experienced EM folks there. I am not familiar with how add a ball games are supposed to be reset. What should it reset to? Can you find the manual/schematic for this or a similar game?

    Williams 1970 3 Jokers - Need Tech Help Bad

    Check the switches on all score reels. Advance the reels through the numbers, make sure the switches are opening/closing properly at 9, 0 and 1. There is a nylon fork that moves up/down as you pass through 9, 0 and 1. Particularly make sure that both 0 switches are adjusted properly. Have you...
