Oh man, prep is 95% of the job. Application is cake! You'll be fine.

Yup, about half-way down the page Bryan goes into some pretty good detail on what happens when you do improper cabinet prep as he is reapiring someone else's bothced decal job. I didn't read down the whole way, but pros like Bryan would normally prime the cabinet. But, if doing this at home, I...

Hey Paul! Welcome to PREV!!! Hmmmm, where to start. Obviously this is not the ideal method of doing this. However, if you are dead set on only doing the front, here are a few things to consider. Not sure you'll want to do this in the middle of your gameroom, but... Decals need to be applied to...

Here's their dealer locator. Just punch in your postal code http://www.flitz.com/dealer-locator.html Also, most hunting outfitters sell tumblers for shell casings. They might stock the media as well.

Good luck trying to find it in Canada. It's basically Ethanol, but it has been scarce for a while. You can get Methyl Hydrate (wood alcohol), which is similar... but not quite the same. Apparently DNA is also great for removing sharpie from your IDC connectors too :) I'm a chemical junkie...

I think every serious pinball fan/collector should own at least one. Aside from just looking/soundign cool, they are the most frustratingly fun games to play. The objectives are simple and easy to grasp, and you won't leave that pin until you've gotten at least one special... at least not by...

I was going to post this in "what did you do today?", but figured the EM section of this forum doesn't get a lot of love :( So, I've been contemplating letting my Gottlieb Jacks Open go. I've had a year-long love affair with wedgeheads since getting my Centigrade 37, and now I'm up to 6...

My concern with the air can is temperature. It can get pretty cold and, if you're not careful, you could cause fast compression of the plastic and surrounding wood... leading to hairline cracks around the inserts. Maybe I'm being overly cautious. Also, air alone won't get them as clean as a...

This brings up an interesting point. A lot of people complain about incandescents being dim... while most people never take the time to dip a Q-tip in some rubbing alcohol and clean the underside of their inserts. It's a small task that will take you maybe an hour at most and you won't beleive...

Makes sense. The cost of the PCB (to Stern) is probably not very different from the socket. It may even save them a few seconds on the assembly line for each one they install. From the operator's perspective, stern is offering a feature that will virtuality eliminate the need for regular bulb...

Re: if you are curious, october list : )) Since when do businesses and private individuals in foreign jurisdictions adjust the pricing of their goods based on what the currencies of other nations are doing? This is not an irrelevant debate. The Italian's price is his price and it's his...

I posted a score of 117,240,490 on XM LE last night. I thought that was pretty sweet. I'd never broken much more than 70mil before!

Re: if you are curious, october list : )) Now if only we can get the euro and the CAD$ to cooperate. Gerard is not kidding. I've seen a few projected numbers on some of these games and, for the moment, it's a tough sell when you factor in exchange, shipping the container, taxes, etc...

I'm on the fence. In some games (usually the ones without crazy strobing lighting effects) I don't mind partial, or even full, LED coverage. I love the way you can accentuate insert colours and it can really help change the mood of a playfield (yes, I'm an artist). However, when I do use them, I...

Haha good point. But maybe I really wanted the option if sampling 100 wing flavours while I played :)

I've been having a couple of pretty good days playing pins. After a week or so of trying to repair and get all my games running okay, I decided to do nothing but play this week. Already got a new GC on XM LE and MM (after having my old MM scores cleared :( ) and a personal best on TRON. In...

Damn! all these events during Expo!!!

Too bad I'll probably be recovering from Expo. This sounds like fun... and I still have yet to see your place Adam. Enjoy guys.

Matt does a sweet job. I've never been a huge SM fan, but these mods really make the playfield come to life... makes it seem almost like a BW pin :D Congrats! Can't wait to see what he does with Predator!!!
