Well, at least your kicker mech is nice and clean :D Good thing Dave posted that pic!

Stretching the spring was more of a last resort. Didn't I mention that? :D Clean and degrease the mechanism first and see of it's binding. I'm almost certain this is the issue because, when one ball is served the part is probably fully extended and then, after it compresses from the hit, the...

I just send the noobs over to the EMs and early SS. Can't do much about ball times with those though

Haven't gotten a new machine in a while... Sold a few though. This little beauty found it's way to me a couple of days ago. Never played one before but the price was right and I'm a sucker for card games. The 60s vintage of this machine was also pretty appealing. I learned that this was...

Damn.. if I had a CFTBL I'd do a deal for your BSD :) I think BSD is going to run substantially lower than creech though. Like maybe $1.5K-$2K less? Just taking a stab

Man! Just think of all the GOOD games I could buy with $15,200 :cool: That's like 3-4 moderately priced Bally/Williams DMDs, or about 5-7 classic solid state machines... or even 2 modern Sterns (pro)!!! All of which likely have better rules and game play than either of those two machines. I...

That's a big spread :D But I have to agree with ZOD. I've owned a few JPOP games and just cannot figure why they get the money they do. They sure are pretty and they shoot nice, but that's about where it stops. Terrible and repetitive rules with easy points exploits. I sold a super nice TOTAN...

Depending on the condition of the CFTBL and any upgrades, sounds like it may be pretty close to a fair deal

I don't think you'll find a nice shadow or wh20 for much less than that these days either. CFTBL has a slightly more appealing theme than those other two... but, if you ask me, it's 3rd in terms of gameplay and overall rules. Actually, I think the shadow theme is pretty cool too. Just gotta...

You just download them from his site and print them yourself

For the clear ramps you'll have to search on Pinside. The member is named FREEPLAY40 and he has made several special ramps for certain machines. The paint pens are MOLOTOW and you can get them at Curry's art supply or through mail order (at bombscience or bombingscience ? Something like that)...

$6K This game has a few potentially high dollar mods too. If it has an LCD hologram, lit speaker panel and so on you might be looking at more

I have some NOS 6803 displays (glass only). You'd have to solder it to the board but it's new.

Thread officially hijacked :D Here's a link to my projects blog. I started working on HS and Scared Stiff together, hence the "HIGH SPEED STIFF" project log. It started earlier but this page has most of the good stuff... and the finals should be on the following page...

Wish I had a graphics lady ;) The machine was fully redone and that's also a CPR playfield. It's a thing of beauty. The cards are available from aurium. He posts links to his custom designs here all the time. You should be able to find them here...

So.. bad news. I looked and looked...and then I remembered that I gave those plastics to a friend ages ago. Sorry Rob. I could've saved myself a lot of time :( I did something different with my two helicopters from the CPR repro set. I thought it would be cool to have them pointing down the...

No worries. There's one other thing I forgot to mention. The "C" shaped arm that kicks the ball. It's usually built in two parts that sort of slide together. They are held under tension via a spring. This is actually meant to absorb some of the shock when it hits the ball. You'll know what I...

Everything is like this now. People just keep pushing the price envelope to see what they can get. A few desperate buyers are willing to pay and boom! a new standard is set. I can't believe I'm seeing games like White Water an Shadow pushing $5-$6K, I wanted a TZ back again one day, but that's...

I've had games like this. You probably need to adjust the mechanisms a little. Pretty sure T2 uses an older style trough and kicker mech. So, you should see a "C" shaped rocker arm that kicks the ball into the lane... if I'm not mistaken. This arm is linked to a simple plunger and coil...

I generally like to finish at the top of the list of guys who don't make the playoffs so I can go home early :D
