So he doesn't buy new Sterns, the ones he has are beat to hell, WOZ will probably get beat to hell as well, no matter what the build quality is (assuming it is operational), I wonder how long the neglect can go on before it really catches up with the place?

very cool. I like the upscaling, but find it does not look good on the score, things like commas get messed up. but animated dots look great.

flooding yesterday was not as bad for me as the winter thaw.... so, I was annoyed, but had no idea it was so bad out there until I checked the news later in the day.

My basement flooded, but it is a leaky basement and I've dealt with floods before. Nothing was ruined.

thanks Doug. I can't recall exactly what happened, we were pulling the dmd out to start checking, pulling cables, something must have shorted from carelessness. The one thing for certain was it was AFTER the dmd went blank, so it is an unrelated problem. Are 3/8 sold anywhere locally? I'll try...

haven't had any time to work on this. One of my problems was we blew a fuse when diagnosising the DMD. The fuse was on the dmd controller board, it was a 3/8 amp. I went to Sayal, and all they sold was 250 and 500s. Has anyone ever seen a 3/8 before? Is that normal? Can i use a 250 or 500...

I was expecting church basement and it was like a community centre. bright, clean, air conditioned, hot food. seems like they have room to grow there as well.

This video is WOZ with latest software is starting to look really good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9ikFDD6gbho It's a shame the software wasn't ready earlier... if the prototypes rolled out with something closer to this, I think the first impressions would have been...

Looking forward to seeing the final prototype. My concerns at this time: -Are they keeping or changing the backglass art? -Are they keeping or changing the cabinet art? -Are the cool playfield dressings from Back Alley good enough instead of an actual mechanical toy? -Is playfield wood, color...

ha, well, when I made the decision to go back today, it was playoffs or bust... and I busted ;-). I may have had my game face on, but bar none the best thing about pinball for me is the people I've met. After cpc I went with a new pin acquaintance to help install a mod on his machine, and more...

I went back, tried my best to get into B playoffs but couldn't have a good game of acdc to save my life. oh well, next year! :)

The online standings page is awesome. I realized something.... as I watch my rank drop, I guess there's a disadvantage with playing early. You're giving people all weekend time to try and beat your scores. If I wasn't on the list, I'd be one less person on the leaderboard, since people are...

Well, if I look at the ranking of the 6 games I played, they are: 6 4 3 4 4 4 which averages to a 4th place. I think I need a top 10 for playoffs? Obviously points scored are different from ranking, but it's what I've got at the moment. Well, if it works out for me in the shakeout, I will be...

Well, I believe my ranking is affected because I focused on 6 games, so I have a bunch of zeros. Other people above me played on more games. So we'll see what happens when the scores get corrected tomorrow. Anyhow, whatever happens, I had fun today, brought my kids, was a good time, so thanks.

I'm a lightweight :). Well, Adam, if you have time, can you explain how the playoffs work? If I end up qualifying I will come back. Do I pay again for those?

Went by twice today... AWESOME event. The venue is excellent. Nice and bright and open and good temperature. hot food available. Not a dingy church basement that I was expecting, more like a community centre. Well done to all those involved and the volunteers.

I'll be bringing my son with me early today.

Re: Found Hotel. Where to Play Pinball close to Westin Prin I was at the Science Centre today, they have a BOP and Spy Hunter (pin). Both were on, but i did not play them because they already had players. There are lone pins around toronto at various bars, hopefully that pin tracker link...

Well, not trying to be contrary, but the jury is still out on if JJP has a viable business. From reports, the cost of producing his machines are near beak-even. I think the big difference between nowadays and the good old days is economies of scale. If they produced thousands more of every...

Well, there's no getting away from the fact that Stern was going out of business at those price points that everyone loved. Even now, none of the upstart companies even try to deliver a $5k machine (with the exception of skit-b but they don't count since it is a basement op, and to be...
