    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I finally finished painting and setting up the family room over the last week. Why is this importnant you ask? Couches stored in my gameroom are now gone; freeing up two more spots for games :D Tons of stuff for the room was also being stored in the garage, so the workshop is starting to take...

    SOLD LOTR DE (Drano Edition) $6800

    Re: FS: LOTR DE (Drano Edition) $6800 Some interior shots: And... last but not least.... shaker motor mod! In order to install a shaker on a standard LOTR you have to trick the game into thinking it is an LE. I got some new ROMs burnt, a kit from pinbits and a shaker motor. It took a few...

    SOLD LOTR DE (Drano Edition) $6800

    Hey... if the Pinball Refinery guys can do it, so can I :D Trying to give this slow summer pinball market a kick in the pants and continuing the purge. I am selling my minty HUO Lord of The Rings with tons of extras and enhancements. The game is in phenomenal shape and plays beautifully. I...

    What's the point of pop bumpers?

    My Centaur and EBD pops are so sensitive I can probably go to the bathroom and come back before the ball gets back into play :D The 'purpose' of them back in the day was likley just to create some animation and life to the ball. Playfields didn't have a ton of features back then so pops made...

    WTB:Tron HUO

    I say that would be an awesome idea. Then you can pay the full retail price plus HST; and then add $1500-$2000 in extras that almost every other tron owner has added to theirs and then sell it for $5800 :D Let us know how you like installing all those mods too... especially the ramp ligthing!

    WTB:Tron HUO

    With all respect to Andrew... he's known to buy games, get tired of them, and then sell them... sometimes at a loss. Maybe for him that's the cost of having a bit of fun and moving on. I won't specuate or speak for him. However, like Mike, I have many (expensive) mods in my tron and these are...

    New BIG LEBOWSKI vid up!

    The sequence is lifted from the movie (which uses bowling balls and pins instead of flipper bats and pinballs) and it's supposed to be the intro scene to one of Jackie Treehorn's porn flicks :shock:

    New BIG LEBOWSKI vid up!

    And yet another video... this time showcasing the art package for the pin (minus playfield). Typical photoshop stuff, but I'm perfectly happy with it. The characters still look more airbrushed than photographed and I love how bowling and 'the rug' are the main design elements. I'm pretty excited...
