    Cost for an operator to put a single machine on location?

    Re: Cost for an operator to put a single machine on location Really, they never asked me about that, and I mentioned it specifically the last time I renewed. Not even a special rider for them on the contents insurance, and no specific limit. I asked if it fell under "collectibles" and no, it...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    How are the adjustments for the monger? Are there set screws to raise/lower the front/back, or are you adjusting cam/switch positions? I had some similar problems with the ringmaster on CV, but I think that was more because it had three different positions. I have to wonder with something...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Congrats on the new games-TZ is a pain to move, but the good news is that you only have to do it once (cause once you have one, it'll probably never leave). Small price to pay for that awesome a game.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I miss the standard "FU' pics from Wong's pin moves-truly a horriffic basement to move games into. It's nice when you can factor pinball into your moves!

    Brolin's "THANOS" Revealed!

    I haven't seen Guardians yet, but they had the Collector at the end of Thor 2, so they're definitely getting into that realm pretty deep.

    Zizzle Pinball

    I actually picked one up for my 2 year old, but that's mostly because I wanted to be able to set something up for him to play that he didn't need a stool for, and that was easier to reach the buttons on. I actually took it off the stock legs and just have it on a box at the moment since it's...

    America's Most Haunted Promo Video

    So it looks like these are actually starting to ship out to people based on pinside, so spooky would be one of the first of the recent "boutique" manufacturers to actually ship a game. Say what you will about the quality of the game, but the fact that they have something that they can start...

    The Hobbit Full Playfield Posted by JJP

    Judging by the holes, probably a spot for Smaug to grab a ball where the longer hole is, and maybe stash a ball in the other saucer? Still looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

    PBRev 2014 Summer Meet-n-Greet - POSTPONED!

    Re: PBRev 2014 Summer Meet-n-Greet - AUG 9th! I'm maybe 50/50 at this point, depending on how kids are behaving.

    PPS "Stuff" For Sale

    Ah, good to know-thanks! I don't think I'd bother buying a new PF for my CV, since I think the minor dings on mine could be repaired by someone with some skill pretty easily. Besides, it plays just fine right now, and that's all that matters.

    PPS "Stuff" For Sale

    Sounds like those CV playfields aren't great-just wondering, why the distinction that they're screened playfields? What other options are there?

    WTB Bram Stoker's Dracula

    I actually like that the mist can stick balls together-one of those things that can only happen in pinball when things are just that little bit of extra random. I've had the same thing happen on Spider-Man with the second Doc Ock multiball.

    Stern Announces Improved AC/DC Pro Pinball Machine

    Neat idea-I'm sure it doesn't come with them, but it'd be nice if they added the option to swap in colour changing LEDs like they have in the Premium/LE.

    Polk PSW10 Sub-Woofer $99.00

    So it does improve a pre-DCS game? I thought it'd be a more minimal improvement on those as opposed to newer stuff? In any case, for those that have wired 2 games to the same sub, how does it work if both are going at once? More risk of blowing out the speaker, or is the effect completely...

    Polk PSW10 Sub-Woofer $99.00

    Are these worth getting? I already have a FF kit in LOTR, and it sounds pretty amazing, but I was thinking of trying to add this to SM/XM (if I can do 2 games on a sub).

    FT TSPP for Avatar LE

    Doesn't it have all the crappiness of Avatar with an added random double scoring powerball?

    ColorDMD - The Doctor is in!

    Seems like an odd choice, but if they have more people colorizing games, then that could very well accelerate the pace. Really surprised that we haven't seen IJ or TZ yet.

    Stern Star Trek: Code Updates

    But will happily ship a game that isn't finished in the first place! :) Although there is something to be said for live beta testing with early buyers/players. If they're listening to player feedback, a game could change dramatically from release to "final". Look at the many iterations of X-Men.

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Installed the 2 missing target decals on SM last night (the sandman ones). Huge pain in the ass to get at these from the top, but significantly easier to just remove the target from the bottom and get it that way. That Back Alley building mod definitely makes it more time consuming to...

    Check your batteries in your pins lately?

    I was actually wondering the same thing myself. I don't think so, since these kinds of batteries are used all over the place, and I haven't heard of one leaking, although I have seen them die on things like a PC motherboard. Does anyone bother changing these?
