Your only other option would be to take a small spacer (like the black ones used to hold up plastics) and use it under the playfield to sink the light socket down a bit. You'd have to use a longer screw too, so be careful not to break through the playfield. This will lower the bulb if you are...

Pretty sure they released the "Magic Smoke" from tits & balls (err.. Strikes & Spares) not long ago :lol:

Yup... restorations are like a shop job on crack. If Doug's description wasn't enough... throw in full cabinet cleanup/sanding, possibly stripping and applying new decals or stenciled art. Then you have a full playfield strip (top and bottom) all parts get tumbled, cleaned, replaced as...

My first competitive pinball action too. It must have been beginner's luck :D Thanks for hosting Walt!

This might be a bit of an understatement :?

Good for you! I know a few people who've been in this hobby a long time and have done a lot less to their pins. Way to commit :) Bad move forgetting to snap pics, but I know how it is to start small and eventually have the whole thing stripped. Best way to learn!

Sweetness! Can't wait to get my wolverine set up again at the new place. I think time will show this game's greatness.

"water on backside" The game was likely folded up and standing on it's back and there could have been some flooding/dampness where it was being stored that got into the cabinet. It coud range from minor staining of the wood to complete de-lamination of the cabinet. Hard to say for sure without...

Hold the left flipper button when plunging the ball. Problem solved.

No problem. Sorry it took so long :( Hope you don't experience any issues.

YES! I could'nt figure out what was wrong because every time I'd hit the left orbit, It would not go around. Very frustrating. There must a feature that controls a one-way-gate or something. It felt like a rejection every time I made that shot. I'm sure there is a lot to learn on this pin... but...

I finally played the pro at SB yesterday. They had the sound turned down so as no to annoy the salespeople... so that spoiled things a bit. Overall the game has some nice shots. It's a feel-good pin as most of the shots are pretty easy to hit consistently. The layout is not exactly inspired. I...

"send cash" Classic! SR always struck me as a real classy guy :lol:

Oh yeah... speaker plates :FP: I'd better get on that :D

I played the game a bit at Allentown. It was "okay". It's certainly a beautiful pin with lots of bells and whistles. The spared no expense and it shows. As for gameplay... I'l reserve judgment until I can get more time on it but, for me, first impressions were ho-hum. Nothing terribly...

Re: X-Men LE Wolverine New in Box #232 Fantastic game... especially since last code update. Good luck with the sale. You may want to state your location though.

Welcome Mike (and Randy)! Everyone keeps referring to SK as the Black Hole of Pins. I thought even Toronto was pretty bad... or Canada in general. Can't imagine how hard it must be in the prairies. You local collectors should collectively rent a truck and drive down to Expo in Chicago, or some...

I would be inclined to think it means "minor" wear... as in barely visible? But have a look at the pics as luckydogg suggested I'm excited the contatiner is finally closing! Can't wait for my TOTAN!!! :D :D :D

Pretty sure the list is right on the first post... and a few games were added in later posts as well. Gerry usually removes the ones that are spoken for... although I still see one on there that I bought ;)
