You could probably save a few bucks on the project if you did all the interior work yourself, but if you're looking at digging a real foundation etc then that's where you need to get pros in. Maybe split the difference and have the contractor come in and do the exterior/framing, and do all the...

Huh? Hadn't you already talked to the contractor before getting all the drawings done? What changed? Hell, for that much, you could probably buy your neighbor's house up there and just fill it with pins...

Using the backbox as a cabinet is a great idea-were you thinking of framing the glass, or trying to do it invisibly? Unless you cut the glass, I don't think you'd have space for a wood frame around it. Could also be pretty prone to flaking off the back, couldn't it?

Looks like there's some new stuff under the playfield-less wire than usual?

Re: [Group Buy]: DMD Glare Guard "Knock Off" Yeah, why not at that price-I'm in for 8.

Re: [Group Buy]: DMD Glare Guard "Knock Off" Hmm, tempting. I've only seen these in action the once at Chris' place, and I can't remember how they looked in person, and whether it'd be impossible for my kids to see the display with one of these on.

I did my whole basement with carpet/underpad straight on the concrete (so no extra subfloor) and it's great. Much better to stand on than bare concrete, games don't shift under normal play, and the floor isn't cold. Only problem is that it's a little harder to move games around than on...

Very nice-a must have for getting games in and out of your basement if you have the room.

Yeah, not sure if I'll keep them on whitewater or not. Mike had some samples, and I had the glass off whitewater anyway, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Big question for me is how it handles drop catches out of the lost mine scoop, and I didn't notice a huge difference, but I only played one...

Was there no custom speech in the game already? Anyway, game updates are always a good thing, so nice to see them trying. Wonder where they shot that though-doesn't seem like it'd be at Stern since there's a bunch of B/W games in the background :)

Thanks for sharing-I had no idea how those were held on. The rails on my TZ are a little beat up, so I might replace them at some point, but it's hardly a high priority. Of course, now TOTAN looks much shinier than the TOM next to it-different finish, or just newer brass plating?

Yes, that's why I'm planning on doing the rebuild. It's definitely not happening as often as before, but it's still happening, so I'll probably replace the nuts, clean the gearbox, and reflow the solder joints. If THAT doesn't work, who knows. Just waiting on the parts to come into starburst...

Neat animation. Still have my original NES hooked up, and amazingly it still works. Other than having to clean the contacts every so often (and them being a little flaky to begin with), it's lasted much better than any of the disc based consoles... Funny how that whole design was just so the...

Nice-I'm planning on doing the same once I get the parts. I ordered both through Starburst Toronto, so hopefully they get in before Christmas. I think I'm also going to take apart/clean the gearbox at the same time, since I've read that can be a real improvement as well. How worn did the nuts...

From the sounds of things these aren't impossible to find, but are people really paying $2k for one now? Maybe I should have kept that preorder... I had both the PS4 and XB1 reserved, but ended up dropping the playstation. No need to own both yet-not enough time to play the exclusives for...

Great job-are you doing an entirely new PF from scratch on this, or just working on top of the old one that was there?

These colour roms keep looking better and better-very nice improvement.

Thanks-I'll give that a try next time. As for the apron, it looked to me like it was screwed down in the middle as well, almost directly on top of the flipper mechs, but now I'll have to take another look.

Re: Has anyone rigged something up to keep a playfield verti Good call on the clamps-I'll have to try that.

Good idea-I figured they'd pull out, but didn't want to risk damaging things any further. Those guides are pretty thick at the bottom-the ones higher up on the PF are a smaller gauge.
