    Remote Battery Holder

    Yup, most electronics suppliers will have x3AA holders. I bought a bunch from A1 electronics here in Toronto. They also ship. http://www.a1parts.com/battery_holders/ ... olders.htm Scroll down for model #3626. They come complete with wiring for $1.32 I also like to get a bunch of these RC...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    This is part of my new year's resolution for 2014. Get every little bug or repair out of the way before the month is up. No more procrastinating. I changed the battery holder on my FT last night. It wasn't holding any settings. Next, I have to fix HS. It has a couple of bad switches. Also, one...

    Pinball Dedicated Podcasts

    Cool thread. Sorry I missed it before. As someone who has a 10minute commute, I'll be playing these in my office :D Who knew there were so many?

    PAPA - Terminator 2 Tutorail by Bowen Kerins

    Having just acquired this game, this was a great refresher. Always love the way Bowen does his tutorials... very relaxed and almost comical. It's nice to see that he employs a few different tactics for attaining a good score. I went downstairs to try the super jackpot approach and only got it...

    Zidware announces "ALICE IN WONDERLAND"!

    The NDA we signed doesn't prevent owners from discussing completion to the best of my knowledge. RAZA is JPOPs 2nd game and no, it's not near completion. We've seen snippets of whitewoods, nearly complete cabinets and various drawings and test mechanisms. If have to assume late 2014 would be...

    Every day I'm tumblin'...(Vibratory Tumbler advice)

    I like this Eastman 18lb kit. I got it on sale for $150, but it was essentially $200 to my door. But, you do get an extra tub and they are a great size. I keep different media in each for convenience. The kit also comes with corn and triangle media to start. Just buy some crushed walnut and...

    Zidware announces "ALICE IN WONDERLAND"!

    No, they haven't. :( I'm on RAZA and was really expecting to at least see Magic Girl debut before Alice got released. In any case, this is a very long term project if John's other games are any indication. I don't think anyone should be putting off buying a ST or any other game this year as a...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    To be fair, I have also been letting games go. T2 may not stay long. Just re-living a little childhood memory. Black Hole is heading out and maybe another ss TBD. I have another game coming in this week too... so it's been busy, but my total pin-count should eventually remain where it's been...

    I know Jason. I'm ashamed :FP: I'll play the kettle if you be the pot :lol:

    Donate to help buy a wheel chair for a little girl

    Wow, they've hit their target already. That's awesome!

    The Dude is coming

    This was my original hope as well... but with so many 'artists' on their team already, I'm not sure this is going to happen. Besides, these guys would have to pay him and I don't think a small run title like TBL is going to pull in THAT much money. Especially if they build it anything like JJP...

    WTB: Black Hole

    Sadly no :( But I did put up some pretty decent numbers on BH in the last couple of months. New games coming in; need to make room.

    The Dude is coming

    Nordmanite... LOL! :D I have no doubt these guys will produce 'something'. I'd just like a little more info is all. I don't think anyone will be left holding the bag; but I'm also low on faith these days. Two long term pre-orders is plenty for me.

    WTB: Black Hole

    Just letting you guys know that my BH will be on the market very soon. It's had all the necessary (and probably some unnecessary ;) ) work done to it by our very own Menace. It's a very clean example with very nice playfields and cabinet. Shoot me a PM if interested. Otherwise, I'll likely list...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Rescued another pin from the clutches of our Yankee oppressors :D Just kidding guys.... We love you all. Please don't invade; we'll share our poutine recipes! Yes, T2 is finally home! Thanks to a great collector I met on Pinside (Scott in South Glen Falls, NY) I now have one more pin that I...

    The Dude is coming

    I share the same basic skills of most pinball designers as we are all basically industrial designers, but I also know there is a lot more than that. These guys will most definitely have the coding and art aspect down. I think the VP design approach prior to a real build is a fantastic model...

    SOLD XM LE - Wolverine

    Re: FT: XM LE - Wolverine Haha! Stern snob! Well, to be honest, the current code is actually really good. It has a few areas that can be polished, sure... but had the game been released as it is today, XMLE would never have suffered the reputation it still has. It's a real shame. Coding is...

    SOLD XM LE - Wolverine

    Re: FT: XM LE - Wolverine Thanks ;) But that is likely to never happen since I have over $8K invested :FP: At least not until more people try XM without prejudice and general opinion on the game changes... and I think it is already slowly starting to shed it's bad rep. I'm willing to lose a...

    The Dude is coming

    I'm also being cautious here because, as much as TBL is a great theme, who's to say these guys can turn out a good table? I'd much rather have a great playing game with a crap theme (ie. Shadow) than an awesome theme that doesn't deliver. To my knowledge, this group has never designed or...

    SOLD XM LE - Wolverine

    Re: FT: XM LE - Wolverine Tough thing to do. As everyone knows, the early bad press really hurt this game. Americans paid as little as $6200 tax free for the game when it was released. Maybe even less if they purchased later. Some guys got pretty fed up with the first few rounds of poor code...
