    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Definitley not $2K neat. Some guy on Pinside won one of these in a raffle if that tells you anything. I think he ended up selling it for $500 ;) Not a very common game at all. The playfield is cool and is supposed to be a central American jungle. The ramps look like they're made of dirt and the...

    Pinball Cafe Closed

    Jason told me that MM belonged to SB. if that's true, it must be available to any would-be establishments (with a business license of course). Does this mean my pinball cafe T-shirt is "in the mail"? :(

    Pinball Cafe Closed

    The 2nd bylaw makes absolutely no sense at all. That strip is full of bakeries, restaurants etc... whey are they not shut down? Guess I'd better go get my banana peanut butter milkshake and all-day breakfast at EASY before they get boarded up too :x

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Special Forces is a cool game. Love the machine-gun bumpers when you blow up the village. Not very PC at all.

    Family Friendly Pins

    Not at all. Addams has always been a very campy theme with more humor than horror. They were the counterpoint to the Munsters back in the day. The game is super fun and has one of the best theme executions ever. It's classic Lawlor! Play through the modes and you'll have a blast. Touring...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Dim sum last night and the GTG was cool and it was great to put another face to a name. Big thanks to Warlock for hosting and sorry we missed you Brewmanager. After rolling in the door at 4:00am I was pretty pinned-out and spent most of the day catching up on Christmas shopping. I did have a...

    Family Friendly Pins

    TAF ;) FT :) IJ :D A Lawlor and two Ritchies (Mark though) Lots to choose from. NGG, TOTAN are other family friendly pins for sure. Tron is a great modern pin if you're into that and you can always hide the back box art if Quorra or Gem offend anyone. XM will also be popular with the...

    LOTR Trilogy... best one?

    The first film just blew me away and set the tone for the whole trilogy. After that the others were obviously must-sees, but the first is still the ost memorable for me. In terms of action, the second film was definitely the coolest. The return of the king dragged a bit and, at that point, you...

    Removing Mylar and crappy glue the easy way...

    I've been intrigued with the flour method for my FT project with full playfield Mylar. I'm finally glad someone I know did it and it worked!

    Home tournament rules

    Adding up points isn't a great method since a bad game on AFM is going to blow away an awesome game on MM. Unless your two pins have pretty balanced scoring between them, it would be best to award points for finishing in 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc on a particular pin and then do the same for the other...

    Pinball Lifters

    The lift I use came with a matching wooden panel that sits on top. Just before I touch the bottom of the cabinet I slide it in sideways so that the weight goes to the cabinet sides. In the pic I posted that was an empty cab, so nothing to worry about.

    TAF chair scoop rebuild & step-by-step playfield restoration

    Re: TAF chair scoop rebuild & playfield restoration I won't bore everyone with every tiny detail, but this was the only other area that really got a bunch of work. It seemed simple at first but required a few stages to get right. I wasn't going to show these images before clearcoating...

    TAF chair scoop rebuild & step-by-step playfield restoration

    Re: TAF chair scoop rebuild & playfield restoration This one was a pain. The wood was so pounded from ball drops that I could not get the swicth area perfectly level withouth chewing up a bunch of original art. I opted to do a combination of sprayed and hand work. It didn't come out 100%, but I...

    TAF chair scoop rebuild & step-by-step playfield restoration

    Re: TAF chair scoop rebuild & playfield restoration Lastly, no ammount of cleaning was going to get the orbit lane and the in-lanes clean. I was also worried abotu matching the grey tone. In the end, I got a good match and was able to fix both to a reasonbale state.
