    SOLD MET LE, AC/DC LE, MB and CC

    I've been guilty of posting what I thought were "overpriced" machines. Often games that I also put a lot of money into. I know Dan really feels that there is some double standard here... but how many members are there here on this forum? Even if my handful of "buddies" gave me a pass, how come...

    Let's Keep The Topic Rolling -

    Dan... You seem hung up on this "circle". Is there a deeper agenda here to uncover the pinball Illuminati? Maybe this group of 10 posters ;) Are there little green men pulling the strings from behind the pinball scenes? Conspiracy theories abound!!! Maybe the simple fact of the matter is...

    SOLD MET LE, AC/DC LE, MB and CC

    Hey I take offense to that. Don't forget the other 10 guys that only post on here when they WTB a machine and the other 200 or so that lurk until a reasonable FS post is made and then jump as fast as they can to post. That's a lot of potentially lost mojo

    Stern Ghostbusters

    That Elwin vid was the definition of "chopping wood" for the last half of the video. I was struggling to understand why he was able to shoot super jackpots over and over again with only one ball in play? Obviously the code is very preliminary at this stage. Seems like the ramp shot really...

    Dr@No's fun filled (and often long-winded) restorations

    So... I got some bad news Plugged the game in and tested it out. Seems to play fine except, for some strange reason, hitting the extra ball target when it's flashing doesn't actually award an extra ball.... but that's not the main issue. Once I was satisfied the game worked I tested the switch...

    HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN (proto???) Part 2 Once the machine was in Ian's hands he did a little bit of digging as he had some old schematics for this machines (apparently Ian had his own history with HMM ) He found a mystery coil that was labelled as "German Only" and also an unused switch in the...

    HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN (proto???) Part 1 Hi Guys, I wanted to share this cool find with an interesting twist. I've been in love with Bally 6803 games for some time now. I love my Special Force and several others have come and gone over the last couple of years. Motordome, Black Belt and Strange...

    Finally got this open.... if not on legs :( This HMM has some special "proto" features which I will cover in my repair thread. But here she is! Big topper and big hair intact!!!

    :itd 3d ani w120 smiles 004: I have bad knees anyway ;) Now let's get serious and help get these pins sold so we can all retire early! (personally, I always enjoyed a little banter in my FS threads. Helps keep them on top. Buyers are usually unaffected by price police. We are all addicts and...

    SOLD MET LE, AC/DC LE, MB and CC

    Just to add to the hypocrisy: As you probably know, I'm the one that purchased that $2200 EK.... and I also purchsed the $1300 example that is going to be sitting next to it. But you're missing the big picture. My uber secret hidden agenda is really to take the "Bally Boy" title eventually. I...

    This made me laugh pretty hard :D [post edited on account of me being a dumb-ass that didn't check his facts]

    Stern Ghostbusters

    Using the reboot probably would've been a big marketing mistake and poor business decision on Stern's part. What's amazing is that the studios would have allowed the old license to be used rather than flog the new film.

    BOOOOM! Slowly getting all the newly acquired pins set up.... Even if I don't have the space for it :D Still no room to set up HMM :(

    Replacing a rom.... but chip is HARD to remove

    There's nothing under the chip. If you have one of those really small screwdrivers you can wedge it under and use as a lever. Slowly and from both sides. Just try not to mash the legs. Just in case this is your first time, pay attention to the notched end of the chip and install the new one...
