I'm a little surprised that they didn't try to re-engineer this to make it work after making such a big deal about it earlier. Seemed like a neat design for a mech. If it wasn't going to work long term though, I suppose it makes sense to cut it, and it's not unprecedented to make mechanical...

It's pretty good-it's basically a pair of intertwined stories about the history of pinball (up to the modern day), and the author's own attempt to get back into tournament play at PAPA (which he uses to talk about competitive pinball). Some of the story is well-worn territory, but it also...

What does "until the deeproot announcement" mean? I thought they were dealing with all the leftover jpop crap-does that actually have anything to do with Ben? In any case, it's too bad that the game didn't make it out there, but if you're designing for a license that you don't have yet, I...

OK, that's pretty cool. Probably a pricey mod, but it's neat what you can do with some little screens and a controller. Now, if you really want to do something cool with it, maybe wire it so that the eyes follow the ball (like Rudy on funhouse). Could probably tie into the switch matrix to...

I suppose it depends on what you want to do with the machine: -If you just want to play it, and it's playing OK, leave it as is, content that it's a 26 year old game at this point, and still going strong. You can take steps to protect it from further wear if you want, like adding a couple of...

If you're trying to sell, people will offer you trades. If you want to trade, people will offer you cash. :) Trades can be a good way to get a game out of someone's collection, since at least for me, I don't want to part with a game unless I know I have something to replace it (nature abhors...

Sold-going west next week unless something catastrophic happens.

Price drop-if someone local wants this, $5000 and it's yours. Otherwise it's likely heading out west.

I just posted this on kijiji, but I'm selling my NGG: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1329364739 Not much to say that's not already in the ad-game plays great, and I've had a bunch of TOPL nights at my place and it's stood up to all of them. I can't think of a single thing I've...

Just take the display out of your HS2 if you want to try it-it should be all the same hardware. You might need the new mounting kit though.

Not a bad location-looks like you're right down the street from Morty's. Wings and pinball! Haven't been back up that way in probably 7 years though.

Took it apart today, and stretching the spring out was enough. Easy fix-thanks for the tip! See how long that holds for.

So you mean the same way as you can only get cable from Rogers in some locations and Cogeco in others?

Thanks-sounds like that's a similar problem. I'll give that a shot. The other thing I found was a reference to a service bulletin that had you shim out the plastic ledge with some washers, but increasing the compression on that spring seems like the better solution right now, especially given...

I noticed on my GB this morning that the right drop target wasn't staying up. Sure enough, in test it would go up and then right back down. If I move it manually it stays up, but it looks like the lip on the target isn't catching properly when it's fired up by the solenoid. I haven't taken...

So, the pro is missing 2 of the magnets, and the kicker on the rocket shot as far as features that would actually impact gameplay, right? The matrix says the rocket shot is static, but the pics on pinball news look like there's a coil there, so not sure. Any word on whether they'll have any...

The CE looks like a waste, but the LE seems more reasonable. What's the idea with the left ramp? Is there something that will pull the ball into that funnel, or is it just there for slow/missed shots? Screen in the apron is a great idea-looking forward to seeing how that works. That disc...

Neat-I wonder if you'll be able to load new software onto it?

What kind of problem are you having? Any idea whether it's hardware or software?

I wonder if these new ones will be re-engineered at all to make it harder to install other games on them?
