I'm interested in hearing if this ever got resolved. Any update?

Agreed. I don't think it's a coincidence that Metallica, Maiden, Rush, ACDC and Foo Fighters are the most beloved music pins. The ones that focus on the band and show geriatric concert footage are way less appealing.

Hell yeah, flight of the navigator pin should be next! And I find it interesting how many people have said their wife needs this pin. I've seen multiple people on pinside say the same. I guess this movie was a big hit with the ladies? My GF also likes this movie and I've never seen it.

LOL. It just signs up whatever e-mail address you put in for hundreds of mailing lists. It's supposed to be to stress test e-mail servers and stuff but you know how most people use it ;)

Trying to do my part... let's just say he's going to have to sort through a lot of junk to find his victim's messages.

Like Pinpickle said it does depend on the game. If there is a lot of multiball you'll probably need to change them more, same with if there is a newton ball/block you're likely to damage the balls quicker. Just keep an eye on them and check them every time you clean the machine and you should...

I need a Gottlieb A-17876 coil but can't find one in Canada. Before I go paying the shipping and duties etc from Marco I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone has one. Thanks. EDIT: Looks like I found a source, don't think I can delete threads.

It really depends on the machine. Stern and other modern machines can fit in my Forester but a gottlieb system 3 machine will not without taking the head off. I need like 2 more inches of clearance height wise to get it in.

Sounds like fun! And are you the one who operates the pins at Shox's? I was there a few weeks ago and several of them had critical issues that made them unplayable. I lost money trying machines that just didn't work. (at least two machines had a non functional flipper and AC/DC needs its coin...

That's lame. I managed to get 50 from ball baron last year through ebay and it was by far the cheapest option for Canadians to get non magnetizing balls in bulk.

oh wow, whoever gets this is very lucky. That looks amazing

Wow that's a nightmare. I also had an issue with Shippsy although it was a lot smaller than yours. I went in on a group buy from a guy who is stationed in Korea. He bought us all some Korean product that doesn't ship overseas and then he shipped it to us. When mine arrived at Shippsy they...

Ooh did you snag the outrun cabs that were on facebook recently? Nice score, what a great game

https://pinside.com/pinball/market?gameid=241&query=Hook Check out the current ads and archived ads and you should be able to get a pretty good ballpark for the price. Also remember those pinside ads are probably all going to be in the US so consider the current exchange rate and the fact that...

There are a few folks who can do it on the facebook ontario arcade/pinball group. I can vouch that Eugene Robinhood is good but I think he's also taking a break right now due to moving.

most people downsize so their mortgage payment is lower, or move to a location where a similar size house costs less. I think a few might move to the rental market but that's probably a lot more rare. I know a guy in real estate who sold 56 condos in a new build here in Ontario and over 30 of...

I agree this is related to macro conditions as much as it is to conditions in the pinball community. It's just like houses, I see tons up for sale right now because prices appear to have settled around all time highs and people are feeling the crunch of a bad economy. Better to get out now when...

Oh wow, I got caught in this too. Good thing I decided to PM here instead of e-mail. It looks like they are using a legit member's name but putting a fake e-mail in, not a bad scam to be honest it probably would have gotten me if I chose to e-mail. The user's name is sewfrey1, avoid them they...

Hi, I'm looking for a copy of the 1992 Gottlieb parts manual. If you have one I will buy it, thanks.

Interesting. Makes me wonder if the type of people who go to a bookstore would be annoyed by things like this but I honestly have no idea who still goes to book stores.
