    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    Hmmm. That coil does not look stock. Seems this game has had some work done to it ;) Hope you sort it out. I've been re-assembling mine for the last couple of months LOL!

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Thanks Mike! That Volley looks pretty decent. No idea what fair price is for one though?

    Pinball Lifters

    I got the Princess Auto model when it went on sale for 50% off earlier this year. It basically came down to the same cost as the CT model but it is much more sturdy. It may be overkill, but I was happy to have the 660lb rating when I was moving around my TZ ;) I cut the bottom 3" of pipe off...

    Gameroom Weekend Reboot and New Addition!

    First of all, I'd like to say how thrilled I was that my hand got to be in the same photo as Keith... even if only to hold up one of the scrolls :) No problem with the help. It's the least I could do after you helping me get TZ downstairs. It's a pretty cool lineup and I enjoyed jumping back...

    Gary Stern SPF 2012 Presentation

    As long as they figure a way to remove a playfiled by pulling 3 connectors or less, I'd be happy!

    X-Men Iceman Figure Mod

    Nice one! I guess the fog was the lead-in to the upcoming Storm mod? :D

    When did you realize you liked pinball?

    Easy... I sucked at video games. Well, I was okay at 1942, but crap at just about anything else... so I'd walk over to the pins instead. Mostly I remember cutting class or hanging out with my buddies after school at a local pool hall named "Pockets Billards" formerly near Bloor St & Dundas. They...

    SOLD lot of 70 pinball !!!

    Re: lot of 70 pinball !!! That is sad. Judging by the careless way they were stored and put away, I'm guessing there is a lot of battery acid eating through those machines :( Gerard, What is the purpose here. Are you trying to find a single buyer or still looking to do a group purchase?

    trust and respect

    Good for you Gerard! I don't think I would have ever put the words "container" and "pinball" together without feeling some sense of fear and anxiety until now. Good to see some decent people still out there.

    TOPL membership?

    Went to my first TOPL gathering last night at Nick's. I also had a lot of questions regarding the league. Not sure I could commit to a weekly schedule, but it seemed like a good group of guys and participation seems to be fairly relaxed. I would suggest going to a couple and see what it's all...

    How can I tell if a back glass already has triple thick?

    Hey guys, I'm a bit new to EMs. I just bought my 2nd wedgehead in 3 weeks (Gottlieb Spin Out). The seller told me that he thinks the back glass has already been treated with triple thick. I plan to do some touch up work and wondered if there is any way to verify this? And, if I'm not sure, would...

    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    Re: My first full shop job ... WH20 Missing plastic is still in the works. I have all the parts necessary but just have been inundated with work. You are in the top 10 for sure if I remeber. I'll have it out to you soon. Restoration can be addictive... just like collecting. I started with a...

    Anyone use xPin displays?

    Same here... although I did just buy two colour DMDs for MM and TAF, so can't really judge their pricing. The grid-lines would drive me nuts. Looks like Predator might have similar issues with their DMD (may even be xPin?). Hopefully they resolve it.

    BST Feedback system

    Yeah, pinside sort of does this with their kharma points. Not sure if it really accomplishes anything.... but for buyers and sellers it's not a bad idea.

    Could we move names and avatars to the left side

    sort of liked it the other way :arrow: Oh well, can't make everybody happy. Now what's the undo button for hitting F5? :D

    my first machine, am I realistic...

    Space Shuttle would be a fun project! The two physical ball locks are great and challenging to hit. Makes for a cool multiball and the sounds and theme are great (for the era).

    My first full shop job ... WH20 (VUK Misfiring issue)

    Re: My first full shop job ... WH20 Congrats on getting "under the hood". I chose White Water for my first true FULL bare bones ground up restore. See the progress here: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ ... g-back-now I'm terrible at updating the thread, but when you see how rough my...

    WTB: another EM machine

    2" or 3" flippers won't matter much. Most EMs are notorious for short ball times. Jack it up, wax it and make sure you have fresh rubber. If you can play for 20 minutes then you're a rock star :) There are several great pool themed pins... playing card themes are cool too. Games like Diamond...
