Want to book me for an install? D

Sad day in Pinball. RIP Alvin. D

Re: Pat Lawlor making a comebackjQuery18207018553049384819_1 I'm with Chris on this one. Having PLD team up with JJP (I cannot see Pat going to work for Jack directly) makes sense, especially where Pat apparently owns the building that JJP produces all his games in. D

If it's just a ROM, contact Dave Astill or Steph @ Hobby Rom's out in Ottawa. D

Just thought I'd post something for those that own P2K machines. I own an RFM and a SWep1 kit, and was a VERY early adopter of the NuCore system created by Chuck and Don of Big Guys Pinball. One of the many issues that P2K games have (beyond the original computer system and it's proprietary...

Yeah yeah, I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted any updates in here. What can I say, I've been busy. :) This thread is going to focus on a Stern Whitestar MPU out of a LOTR. I had a member contact me just before the Ottawa show about his LOTR MPU, and how it had suffered some very very...

Before you head down to Sayal, use their website and search for the parts you need. It's pretty good and gives you the locations that have stock and how many. (and if it's on the floor or in the warehouse, which then means you're going to have to buy $15 per item of those) D

Love it.

About time someone repro'd these. ALWAYS missing from this game. D

What's ironic is I've been working on a client's Bally Star Trek and the left flipper was sticking, and last night I took the time to figure out why. Sure enough the flipper / bushing gap was wrong (too small). Adjusted it correctly and now it's working perfect. D

Re: Angry Young Woman Uses Her ‘Telekinetic Powers’ in NYC C OMG that was awesome! Would have liked to see how the unsuspecting customers reacted when they found out what was really happening. D

I would think the deposit is fully refundable. I'm not even remotely interested in asking for mine back at this point. As long as they turn out a good game, I'm happy. D

Jooky, you're making good progress and by jumping in and doing all of this you are teaching yourself more than you know and this will carry forward to all future pin projects. I do have a few pics of the Red and Ted resurrection to post in the Menace files at some point, but not as many as I...

Anything is possible. If there is any sort of friction due to incorrect bushing gap (being too small or large) this can happen. D

Agreed. Flipper bushing gap is very important, and while too small a gap is an issue having too large of a gap is just as bad. The main thing to determine when having a flipper issue is where to start looking, and to do this you need to figure out if the issue is mechanical or electrical. You...

Yeah, I'm not worried either. There hasn't been anything to come out to make me worry, and the longer it takes them to build the more time I have to save. :) D

The LED's that go in our current games will never get there. (see my post above) Only way this will happen is if a machine is specifically designed around using LED's as the ONLY source of lighting, and it's designed correctly. (incandescents and LED's require two completely different designs...

I'm going to chime in here, only because of my background in electronics. The issue that most if not all people have with LED's in pins is the fact the games were never designed to use LED's in the first place, and this is why we have the issues we have. Without getting too technical, LED's...

Love the building set, finishes the game off nicely. Now you just need the sandman mod... D

Tarnished fuse or fuse clip? Could also be the fuse clips have "spread" a bit not making perfect contact and by pulling and re-inserting it's contacted again? I just fixed a game on Sunday with some cold solder joints and spread clips. D
