I had the maintenance guys at work cut me a new clear piece for my Atlantis for the drop target bank. I only had to countersink the holes due to the thickness. free is free after all. The maintenance department calls this 'government work'....

I went to my local auction house for a sale this weekend. They had a few game room items. Price listed is the final bid: + HST + buyers premium 10% (15% if online) Gottlieb Surf Champ (it appeared to be working well with a few burnt out bulbs and requiring some good cleaning, nice cabinet and a...

FYI It's been over a month and still no reply from ToPEC. (I have sent reminder e-mails) Is it just me? Maybe a in person visit is required? Maybe they have to see the cash?

I was working on a machine a few weeks back and the owner had a mame/multicade with a bunch of games 4000+ (mame, atari2600, sega saturn, etc) So I asked if he would load up robotron.... Looks as if whomever configured his mame didn't realize robotron is a 2 stick game and it didn't play at all...

I recently did some work on my High speed kickback assembly. I figured what the heck, why not just get a rebuild kit like a flipper kit. Seems that I can get the coil, switch and the plunger.. But the proper spring..... no dice (at least by PBR) I swapped out the weak looking spring with a spare...

I was checking a persons EM on the weekend and he had a Allied Leisure Rock On. Thank god it was working as I hear they are very hard to get parts for. I have not seen too many non major label machines. Too bad they couldn't have got better licensing as I did see a fake Jimmie Walker...

A friend of my brother-in-law has a High Hand that I took a look at on the weekend. WOW, it sure isn't my old Bally Wizard but I figured how different can a Gottleib EM be... Anyways, I open up the machine and right away I spot some plastic coated wire spliced in at the back on one of the...

Re: RIP AC/DC? :( So if they don't end up getting back together does that make the value of an AC/DC machine go down? It can't be between the Stones and Metallica anymore, just move it over there in the corner next to Elvis....

I am looking for a nice 8+ original Alien Poker. Much like the one listed in December on kijijii I would also consider a modded multi-ball version (that may be more played because who's gonna try modding a nice PF) if someone out there has one for sale. I am currently awaiting a quote from ToPEC...

Shackelton Auction Sat. May 3/14 9am (London, Ontario area) Gottlieb Surf Champ 4 player EM The posted pics don't do enough to show the condition. It may be worth a trip for me to check it out as I am in the area.

Re: Container Pinballs I have so far only heard horror stories of these types of deals.

I recently freed up some space and I am in the market for a Alien Poker. I do recall there was a really nice one on Kijijii around x-mas and I am looking for either a really nice 8+ original machine or a lesser machine with the multi-ball mod I have seen online installed. I know that ToPEC has...

Today I got a line on my next project... One of my brother-in-laws buddies has a problem with his EM during the start-up sequence. my first pin was a Bally wizard! one of my friends gave me. It took a ton of cleaning and adjusting but it was up and playing in no time. (I already supplied the guy...

Auction listing for Woodie Woodchucks is now available. I see only one pinball machine: Extreme Striker Also a star wars trilogy arcade. I wonder if it has any value as it has the Star Wars reference....

I know I saw at least 2 in storage at a local pinball seller. I would prefer a really nice one that is original. BUT if the machine is not great the multi ball mod would at least provide a machine that is at least unique until CPR (or someone like them) releases new playfields, etc. Still, the...

International Center auction this weekend has a Teminator 2 (Lot 165) and a EM Super Soccer ( Lot 166) Plus 2 driving games and a silent scope. I could swear I saw that EM at the auction (locally in Lyons with a Strange Science) a few months ago so beware the shills.

I have been in the market for an alien Poker for a while. Finally made some room and am ready to proceed. I don't have a Mr. Pinball price guide so I was wondering what the machines book value may be. I have seen a few recent machines on kijijii In December there was a really nice looking one...

I have a number of painted Warhammer 40K armies. I am looking to focus on only one army as the costs of new models adds up pretty fast. Armies I have available:Very large Imperial guard (Cadian) with lots of tanks and some Forgeworld resin kits air wing with vulture and 3 magnetized...

I sure miss going in person to the auction and actually seeing the merchandise. That being said there is an upcoming auction for woodie woodchucks. I don't live near the GTA so I thought I would ask if anyone is aware if they had any pins I always loved going to the auction. seeing what was for...

I was there on saturday as my wife wanted to go to the movies. I found X-men to be a pain (with all the magnets) but the transformers had a pretty low threshold for free games so it wasn't too bad at all. Now if a large draft wasn't $12......
