Definitely not accustomed to such a big rig :) It was fun in the end... as much fun as is possible after two loads and 14 hours of moving.

Yup, looks like it's finally pushed off from Portugal! :D

This was a big weekend! We finally moved all the stuff from our old house. The sale officially closes in a few days. Not a lot of progress to report on the gameroom yet... things had to take a back seat for the move. The good news is that progress will come a lot faster now that we won't be...

Sure. I love white water. Put me down for one too.

I just thank God that I don't have any "must have" games left to buy. Sure, I'll entertain the occasional game here and there, but the days of sweating every FS post and chasing down owners with the title I'm lusting after are gone... Mercifully! Let the market do what it wants now. Pinball is...

I would recommend having your boards looked at by a professional. Board repair is probably not something you want to get into at this stage. You can do a lot more damage than good.

Time to read schematics and figure out the controlled lamps circuit. Something got blown... but the fuse should've gone first. That is very strange. If you have an LE, I believe there is a separate board under the playfield hat controls the RGB lighting. Not sure if it also does the controlled...

Continuity. What fuses did you check? There are some on the boards... But possibly some under the playfield too. I don't have access to my XM right now. The schematics will also tel you what fuses cover the GI and controlled lamps. Pretty sure there is a label in the backbox with this info too.

Here's what it looks like. If you own EM pins, this tool and a Flex-Stone file are pretty much the only tools you'll need. If you want to make your own I would try some 1/8" solid aluminum rod from a hobby store. You can easily bend it and also slice the two gaps with something like a Dremel.

Re: Eight Ball Deluxe - cabinet stencil set FS bump...

^^^THIS^^^ :)

That pic is fairly liberal... Which I like as well. But.... if you have a few bruisers coming over to play, just jack those puppies up nice and high :D

And this is why the same title can feel different when played at a dozen different locations. There are just so many variables, and some are pretty much up to user preference. Another item that was brought to my attention is pop-bumpers. Adjusting the sensitivity on the spoon switches...

If you have flipper boards with optos, I don't think there is much you can adjust... maybe the tension? Just keep the optos nice and clean. On older games with leaf switches behind the flipper buttons, I suppose that you can adjust the leaf to make it more of a "hair trigger" and engage right...

$25K MM and a $7K IJ... Come and get'em :D

ETA in Montreal seems to have been updated to early July! I'll wait for Gerard to confirm this, but assuming a week or so in customs, the games could be cleared and ready as early as mid-July.

Man, I'm in the middle of day two of an all weekend moving sale. Everything must go as we start moving next weekend... and the weather was not exactly cooperating yesterday :(

There seems to be a bit of confusion lately with some of the newer collectors/players on what it means to dial in a game. So, just to offer a little clarification, here's a rundown. "Dialing In" is simply the art properly setting up and adjusting your machine. This can be just as important on a...

The MET is a few weeks old. Tron has probably been on location over a year without much attention. I find that Tron is a game that can be a real case of Jeckyll and Hyde. Fantastic when set up just right and dialed in.... but a real dog if not. Weak flippers should never be an issues though

Trust me, as someone who had an XM LE from day one, this game needed a lot to get better. XM owners have had it rough. Not until the last code did it really start to play like it should and get the recognition it deserved. I'm super happy to see that Stern hasn't left XM in the dust. With...
