    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Just spitballing but I might try some clear drying glue. I used some to glue on a small chipped off spot on a head. Line was there but at least no bare wood the peice was there.

    Fixed: Nascar pit row issue

    My 2 pit row coils 27/28 seem to be acting up. During gameplay they will power up when the ball is not in pit row. They also power up and prevent ball lock. I cleaned the pit row opto (upper and lower) by the 2 coils. I don't think it would be the top of the left ramp area but that seems to be...

    Looking For First Machine

    I would like to think Bally Atlantis could be close to your range. I had one years ago I got from the Starburst live auction. Needed a few missing parts (drain plug was a biggie). I guess it really depends on what skills you bring to the table. Pretty well everything at your price point in SS...

    Looking For First Machine

    At least you are in Toronto so you are pretty central when looking. I would suggest watching the local live auctions. Do some research before you go. Some machines have parts that commonly break that can be very hard if not impossible to find. Ramps are typically in this category. Don't be...

    Stern's next pinball... :)

    With the reviews Ghostbusters is getting you may want to think it over.... Yeah I have a pinball machine based on one of last years biggest box office let downs. Now Suicide Squad is another story.

    I Think my Buddy is Talented!!

    I used to play Warhammer 40K. Lots of talented painters are out there. I have a few I keep tabs on that do great work and work cheap. If you clearcoat with Quickshade (light, medium or dark) it will do the shading for you. You just paint, do your lining and highlights and the Quickshade does the...

    Stern's next pinball... :)

    I caught the Whoa Nellie retheme. I guess they just cheaped out and didn't want the beer case stand. Kinda proud of myself after only ever playing a few games of Whoa Nellie at VFW. Thumper bumpers were the dead givaway for me.

    "Original" Inside Decals for sale by Hassanchop

    So is this like a cabinet mylar/sticker? Do I have to remove my playfield to apply it? A nice Vegas skyline (each side of the street) would look cool in Elvis. Unsure if current or classic Vegas would be more appropriate/popular.

    Pinball Life Annual Summer Break

    I was considering getting the Elvis jailhouse rock mod (saw it installed at the VFW) 10 bucks was reasonable. 40 shipping was not. If someone is doing a large order in the future keep me in mind. I wouldn't mind 2 (different colours) I just can't justify all that shipping on such a small item.

    Rapid Fire is it a pin?

    I saw a rapid fire on Detroit CL for $1000. I remember playing it back in the day. Itis flipperless. But is it really a pinball? Or just an extra large shooting/gun game? The purist in me says NO (the flipperless era came and left)

    Advice on what my $$$ may get

    I see an NBA for 3300 usd on Pinside. That seems to be in the range. Elvis I think is damn mear my limit if not over. I am certainly not in a hurry to call ToPEC or Starburst to pull one off route and pay retail. I don't mind lurking about waiting for a good deal. Seemed to work last summer when...

    Advice on what my $$$ may get

    Now that Checkpoint and High Speed are gone its time to look for my next title. I was hoping to find a Stern (easy to get parts) in the 4-5 K range. Not a huge fan of toys or crowded pfs. Top contenders: NBA Elvis Hard to know what is in my range with prices now....

    Fun To Play Factor

    Shoot for a multiball Williams sys 11. High Speed, F14, etc. Lots of fun and easy to move later when you may want to upgrade. My HS was error free from day 1. Great solid game. Didn't fit through my doorways without taking the door off.

    CPR Playfield Impact on Price?

    I would think the CPR would play faster and look a bit nicer with the lack of the mylar. Naturally there will be some time to wait to install wgile you are curing any extra layers of clearcoat.

    Great Games that you sell - Just because it is time

    I hauled my High Speed up to my garage as I have a kijijii looker coming today. Pay envelope with $150 in the coin box. Forgot it was there.... Score!
