    The Best Pinball Tech?

    There is no way I have the time, parts available, or knowledge without massive amounts of study, to repair my MPU and driver boards in my Williams Blackout. I would love to learn the deep electronics of Sys 6 and do the repair myself, but time wise is not feasible and nothing beats experienced...

    How/Why is pinball so popular now?

    I am reasonably new to the addiction, and the high price of admission is really starting to make me think twice about my choices. I have witnessed dramatic price increases even in the short time I've been collecting. My only regret is not starting sooner when pins were more reasonably priced...

    WTB Centuar

    As you can see I missed out on the Centuar 2 with the damaged PF. The dealer I talked with told me he would hold it for me even after several conversations by phone he lied and wasted my time. Everyone was correct not to trust this guy. So basically Centuar is one of the many must-have pins on...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    The seller responded to my emails yesterday and maintains he is holding for me. My buyer will go there Saturday as planned to check it out and pick it up if everything is as expected. The seller must be quite the piece of work. I'll find out Saturday . Thanks for trying to help.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    We'll see what happens this weekend, my original guy will check it out. Thanks for trying to help anyways. Centuar maybe common in Ontario, but it is nearly impossible to find for sale in my area so I need to take what is available and I don't mind doing the artwork as long as the electronics...

    It is a cool theme but I do believe it will be mostly insane luck if one appears.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I can assure you I am not a scammer. Not a chance. Money is not an issue for me. The seller I am not so sure of. My worst problem is trusting people and wanting a new machine real bad. I have sent many 10's of thousands to Ontario last year without having met any of the people I have dealt with...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    My guy can get there until the weekend so if anyone lives near there and wants to earn money, I pay very well for handling if you secure the pin for me. If it is gone I move on to the next one.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Very strange, I think I am too trusting with people. He told me yesterday he considered it sold and would remove ad? I have to work through someone in Ontario to handle pin and payment for me as I live in NS. If I miss this one here will always be others and I don't have to rush to make room.

    Don't know yet. I bought it sight unseen. Roll the dice. That and it need to be shipped out of province to Nova Scotia before I see her.

    It flipped in my direction. I always wanted a Centaur.

    WTB Williams Blackout Parts Wanted

    Just as the title says, looking for parts for Williams Blackout. Would consider populated playfield in any condition, main driver boards, etc. What do you have for sale?

    They like the spooky stuff. Me too.

    Williams Blackout

    That is a very good list that will no doubt help keep me organized through the process. Many thanks.

    Williams Blackout

    No problem on the parts. One thing about the old playfield that I have issue with is that many of the colored inserts have a spooned or cupped effect I assume from age. I would love to have an overlay and new inserts, or a replacement playfield (which seems like much less work), but I am...

    Williams Blackout

    I found some burnt out diodes to start with. I would be interested in buying parts from you if you have stock of the electronic parts I may need?

    Williams Blackout

    She is a project indeed. I will suffer through the electrical work, but I much sooner do the art work repair. Thanks for the info, at this point I need to start going through everything and maybe someday she will work properly again. It was a steal for $350, so working or not she was coming home...

    Williams Blackout

    I bought it with issues. A couple times I got it to not end the game and I see I have a couple pop bumpers that are dead. Pretty neat game for an oldie. The playfield is certainly lighter than the newer pins.

    Williams Blackout

    I just picked up a dysfunctional Williams Blackout. I'm still a novice when it comes to repairs, so any help to get started with this one would be appreciated. Main issue to start with is, when you press start it cycles through kick-out of balls till it reaches all 3 and ends the game. The...
