It's too bad really-it was a fun place to hang out, and their tournaments were a great reintroduction to pinball. If nothing else though, it was fun to go and hang out with Mike and Christine, and talk about all things pinball. There was also stuff buried in there that it's a shame we'll never...

I can see that, but honestly, is there much that hasn't been done before? I'm honestly surprised that it took this long for someone else to pull that one out again. As far as I'm concerned, once an idea is out there, it's just something else to add to the toolbox for everyone else. Everyone...

That was just the circuit finals-the main pinburgh tournament is just getting going today. Pretty amazing that Daniele pulled that off-he made it through the entire tournament, since he was one of the first ones in. Cool format though-kind of a "royal rumble" style where one player out of 4 is...

Even finding a decent DMD for under 2k is a challenge these days, isn't it? There are decent deals to be had though, and as others have said, patience and looking for a collector thinning out their lineup is a great option. Another good idea if you want to make the trip is to come out to see...

Re: TSPP upper flipper control (very cool mod) Interesting idea-the upper flippers on there have never really bothered me that much, but it could be a good way to reduce wear on the parts. I've honestly never looked to see how mine look-they've been fine the entire time I've owned the game.

Looks OK, but lots missing on the pro... Still, nice to see the metal ramps on there, and it's good that they have a variety of music on there, and not just the newest stuff. Looking forward to trying one out, but no desire to own one.

I still love the TZ jackpot sound. It's just the perfect, loud, "you did something awesome" sound :)

I've managed to pass on a couple of things this year based on not having any extra cash. I said at the outset I wouldn't go into debt for pins, and I've managed to stick to that so far. It also doesn't help that I haven't got the time to play what I've got these days, so no need to buy more...

Great idea-I always enjoy reading about repairs and especially the troubleshooting steps that go into them. Makes me much more confident in fixing my own games.

Maybe see what the cost is to rough in an elevator shaft, but wait to put the actual elevator in? Other option is straight stairs, and then buy a stair climbing dolly when you need it-expensive, but cheaper than an elevator.

Just in case anyone else is looking to build one of these, the CT lift is on sale again this weekend for 1/2 price (http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/produ ... 4470711240). The one that I built has worked out OK, and it definitely does what I need it to do. If you have carpet, you're a little...

Thanks Barry-you have a great setup, and went way beyond the call of duty with food and drinks. Glad that it worked out well though-don't worry about it too much-hosting gets easier. At least nothing major broke while people were playing league games :)

Changed all the batteries in my games the other day, since it'd been a year or so. Didn't look like there were any issues, but you never know. Remembered AFTER I did TSPP that I usually change them out with the power on though, so I lost a couple years worth of audits/scores. It's too bad-I...

Re: Cactus Canyon now on Pinball Arcade! That sounds like an amazing addition-I wonder what else people have done with PROC code... Might be a cool thing to mess around with, although starting from scratch is a huge job.

Congrats-it's great when you can buy a place with pinball in mind instead of trying to fit into whatever you had before.

Re: New Code Updates For Transformers and X-Men Now Availabl OK, so that's what that setting was (defaulted to off). I knew about the NC at 3 completed hero modes, but this is just another way to force the mode out I suppose. Good idea. Has anyone else still found the NC mechs to be flaky...

Re: Cactus Canyon now on Pinball Arcade! 3d could be really interesting for a virtual pin, but I'd be worried that you couldn't get the refresh rate you needed to make it convincing and still get a decent depth effect. Still, it'd be cool to try. Not sure about a PC version, but I'm really...

Re: New Code Updates For Transformers and X-Men Now Availabl No release notes, but I did get a couple of games in on my LE last night. I was playing pretty badly, so I can't confirm anything about danger room etc, but I did notice a bunch of changes: -Stacking: These changes mean that no two...

If I had to go with a replacement, I'd definitely look at the colorDMD options, and now that they actually have displays for games that I own, it's good to know they're around. Still, not sure if I'll spend 400 bucks on one, but I'd like to see Whitewater and TZ in action. TZ in B&W could be...

So did this link ever get fixed? I noticed that the avatars moved back to the right a while back, but the "view first unread" link still just goes to the correct page, not the correct post. Can this get fixed?
