    What should I have on hand for my pins?

    Mike hit the major ones-I looked everywhere for those nut drivers before buying the pinball life ones (since they're pricey and heavy for shipping), but nobody had anything similar. I got away with a regular socket set for a while, but those things make working on games much easier. I've...

    So, does that mean any special deals with PBL? :)

    Replay FX Festival

    They sold out 700 pinburgh spots in 12 hours? Damn, that's impressive. Good idea to charge up front too. If this gets up to PAX scale, it would be amazing. I haven't made it to any of these shows yet, but once the kids are older, I can definitely see making the trek.

    TIP We are go for launch!

    Thanks for the upgrade-as long as the "view first unread post" link works now, that'll make things MUCH better.

    Y nut for JM?

    Order it through the playdium store-that's what I did. They do orders from Marco once a month or so, and it's less in shipping than ordering yourself.

    More sensitive tilt

    Could you rig up your own part for the tilt that might be more sensitive? Right now the tilt mech is based on the plumb bob making contact with the outer ring and closing a circuit, but couldn't you rig something up with some wire and a couple of microswitches? Think of something siilar to a...

    And that Smaug sculpt is still a WIP-teeth to come as well. A big improvement already though!

    I've got those decals and they look amazing installed.

    Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (teaser)

    Looks promising-probably the movie I'm looking forward to the most next year.

    Pinball Lifecycle

    9 games right now with a 10th on order, and at that point I'm out of room. Then I need to either define more pinball space elsewhere in the house/basement, or start moving games out.

    SOLD Rogers Scientific Atlanta 8300 HDPVR-$125

    Anyone here need a spare rogers PVR? I just dropped cable, so this box is useless to me. This is the older SA box (not the new Cisco "NextBox" that they're pushing), but it still works just fine, and includes the remote and power cable.

    SWE1

    I think part of it is just that it gets pretty repetitive to just keep bashing the central targets to advance the modes. Besides those, there's what, one multiball, and the darth maul battle that repeats over and over every 4 modes? It's a fun game to play in other people's collections or on...

    What Do You Do? Promote Yourself!

    Neat thread-I knew what some of you guys did already, but it's interesting to see the variety. Proof that pinball is universal! Anyway, I'm the Chief Software Architect for ComputerTalk-we're in the Unified Communications and Contact Center space. I lead a team of 10 developers now (in a...

    SOLD STTNG pinball Machine

    Re: STTNG pinball Machine That's a nice looking STTNG-should move quickly. I like the side panels and alt translite-haven't seen those installed on a game before.

    The Hobbit Full Playfield Posted by JJP

    I wondered the same, but then again, look at ANY game with little to no sound, and no software. Gets boring really fast. Already looked like some interesting stuff going on with strobing drop target shots, and it also appears that the popups can get hit from behind, so I can see that getting...

    Well, that's certainly more dragon. Sounds like there's still some fine tuning to do on the book etc, but I like where they're going. Still in on this one.

    Do you let pre-schoolers play your pins?

    I let my kids (2 and 6) play all the pins, and they're fine with them. The 2 year old's favourite thing is the start buttons, which I suppose is better than his sister at that age (who loved the power switches). Neither will really play a full game themselves, and neither is super hard on the...

    ColorDMD - My precious....

    Anyone want to split an order to get free shipping? I think I want to get one of these for LOTR.

    Ramp lighting in your face!

    Neat idea-I like the tracking effect. I always thought this would look great on Tron as the Light Cycle trail effect.
