Damn Mike... how much added value have I helped you add to this game now? I'd better get dibs on this sucker after all the playfield work and pro tips :D She turned out great. I'm only sad that I will have to wait quite a while before I can restore mine and do the same. I just keep staring at...

Hmmm, yup... same game. Maybe Doug can comment. The GC is still showing something like 800,060, and I was told that was Phil's. Either way, my goal is to crack 1 million on this pin... or throw it in the lake. I wonder which will come first? :D

One of the games that always plagues me is Black Hole. I love the game and it just makes me feel so good to hear that awesome background sound, that I don't usually mind when it kicks my ass. I'm usually lucky to break 300,000, but I had an awesome game a couple of nights ago. I still have not...

Yes, Unfortunately there appear to have been several issues with the accuracy of the colour and some of the insert copy on Gene's. And, according to a good source, the last few that were done were somehow digitally printed instead of silkscreened. I can't comment on the fit. I have a really...

Sure... why make it easy and get it from the place that actually has them? :FP:

Tim, I also have one of those rivet presses if you need to use it. Not sure how far/close you are to me?

Nothing earth-shattering to report for the last couple of weeks. Got called away to Las Vegas on business (no trip to the PHOF this time though) and got back just in time to come down with a massive cold/flu. Been laid up for a few days now. Last night I finally had a little bit of energy so I...

Re: Has anyone rigged something up to keep a playfield verti Seems... ummm, a little excessive no? But I'm not one to judge... I never clamp off a playfield. I'm sure it'll bite me in the ass (or head) one day. :x

Really? Damn it.... I was lied to :FP:

Consider upgrading the panel to 200amp (if it isn't already) and run yourself a new line for every 4 games you ever plan to have... with a 4 outlet box of course. You'll never have any issues.

I think someone should try an alternate that has all of the Baldwin clan represented. Maybe just remove all those superfluous characters on the original and replace them with Stephen, William and Daniel!

Most are just push/pull. It could just be a trick of the camera, but if Adam is right and they are thicker than regular wire lane guides, look underneath and make sure there isn't a bolt or some weird fastener. Be carefull removing them. They have little stamped "wings" on the ends that help...

I'm sly that way ;)

Thanks Rob, Not sure why Jonathan decided to use my middle name, but it was appreciated nonetheless. I had just finished restoring my WH2O and posted the thread to Pinside when he asked if I would photograph the game for the magazine. I'm happy he was able to use the shot and have my game...

Maybe I'm shallow, but the way a pin looks (and more importantly, it's theme) does play a lot towards my appreciation of the game. I know it's irrational, but it's probably just the designer in me... Baldwin hurts my eyes :lol: I did not get this game at all the first few times I played it. I...

I think the key is to note which teams have real designers. Stern, JJP, Zidware all have designers at the forefront. SkitB is headed up by competition level players... so maybe they'll have some insight. For the most part, the rest are all tech guys or tech-based startups. I know one of them...

Here's a few more pics from others that have already installed the kit.

Look what arrived in the mail yesterday ;) For those of you that don't frequent Pinside, one of the very talented members there put this together. Its a full kit that includes an all original shadow translite and matching speaker panel... as well as a custom set of cards. Unlike some past...

Chris. As Scott mentioned. We each left after one ball. In fact, I don't think I even waited for it to drain. My ball time was something like 5 minutes before I gave up... and I'm sure I was turning my head to carry on a conversation with Scott during a lot of it. The shots did not feel...

Trust me, I've been keeping an eye out for a backglass. Not so easy to find... especially in North America.
