    Is a trip to Playdium worth it?

    I suspect the OP might have been talking about the Playdium near Square One... not the Playdium Store.

    good first machine

    Unfortunatley, finding a nice WW is the trick. Many seem to be beat to hell... and you just don't see many come up at all. The nice thing about the WPC era is that playfields were starting to get Diamondplated, so the early 90's pins seem to have held up a bit better over time vs. their System...

    Looking for Judge Dredd topper

    They only seem to ship UPS so I would avoid sending it accross the border for sure. Chicago is a good bet. If you pre-arrange it, I'm sure they'll bring one to the show for you.

    SOLD BSD decals for sale

    So, since I sold my BSD the other day, I guess I won't be needing these. This is a full set of replacement Inkjet decals for Bram Stoker's Dracula. $300 plus shipping if you're not local (probabaly around $20 depending where you are). Shoot me a PM if interested. Adriano

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Here, Here!!! Hmmmmm. What did I do today... or rather, last night? After getting my new gameroom de-cluttered, I started to set up my TAF... which had been sitting for months! After playing a couple of balls, one of my coils appears to be locking on and blowing F105 :( Now, instead of setting...

    Looking for Judge Dredd topper

    Yeah, it's not a common part and, until IPB started offering the repros, they were pretty much impossible to find. Unless you find a baller that swapped out his original for a new shiny one from IPB, the chances of buying used (AND cheap) are slim to none. I paid $80 for the shiny one and, as...

    good first machine

    Most system 11 games are still very attainable and offer great value for the buck. They are just 1 step down in terms of sophistication when compared to their WPC counterparts... but not by much. If you can live without the DMD, I think games like Eartshaker, Whirlwind, Taxi, High Speed etc...

    TOP THREE PINS on your Wantlist!

    I saw 2 of the 3 in theatres too... oh the shame :( Actually, I didn't mind JM... just the bad acting from Keanu. Still have not seen the Shadow. I have a JM that I'll be cleaning up and playing for a bit. A couple of close friends have conditional dibs on it if/when I sell, but if that...

    My Container Games from Gerry

    Soooo, Had some time to play around with FT last night and repaired the broken wire to the topper and noticed that the reel was missing its drive belt. Installed that and the game seems to be woring 100%... minus a few burnt bulbs. It's a bit slow and dirty. But a nice shop job and cleanup...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I addressed a couple of small issues on my container FT and got it fully working. Just needed a wire soldered and a new drive belt for the reel/ball lock toy. Now it just needs a good clean and shop out. Loving it!

    My Container Games from Gerry

    Always happens. Every project I take on seems to extend 2x-3x longer than I anticipated. Did you opt for the micro switch kit for the upper playfield? It makes a huge difference visually. Together with all the Cliffy protectors, it's pretty slick! Good luck!

    My Container Games from Gerry

    Well, I will say this. The cost to restore a game to like new condition, or even to near CQ shape, is often the same as if I were to buy it already done... And that's not accounting for my time. If I did not enjoy the work, it would definitely not be worth the trouble. Guys like Chris Hutchins...

    Star Trek is here

    I personally like the work done on XM at least. Well, now that it's somewhat complete anyway. Yes, there is still a lot of "hit this x times" to start a mode, but the completion of those modes at least seems to have a little more thought put into it. And I like how certain character's traits...

    Just think... you could probably put a small deposit on a NIB Star Trek if you still had those :lol:
