    Pinball Pirates and Profiteers (re: R&B kijiji)

    I've been told this too but if you want to get in the hobby today and have fun you just have to bite your lip at some of the current market rates or else the game you want will slowly get out of reach and only be a pipe dream. I wish I got into this 5-10 years ago when you had to sleep over...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Remember guys to have your machine off when you are installing LEDs because you don't want the same thing to happen to you as it did to quarter grabber here: http://pinballrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1070

    Pinball Pirates and Profiteers (re: R&B kijiji)

    Just in time for summer guys, for less then $6000 you can have this beauty --> viewtopic.php?f=25&t=984 :D Another disturbing trend I am seeing is how a particular game (not title) inflates in value by passing through the hands of a few collectors in a short period of time who have done...

    I don't see why you would be labelled a douche too unless there was still some meat on the bone left and you decide to to do a quick flip on the game for doing nothing :lol: It is your money and if you feel that you are still getting good value and/or not feeling ripped off and most...

    NEED HELP WITH XMEN REPAIR

    1xMPU and 2xDMD casualties :FP: So don't feel bad quarter grabber, sure Brock or Stern will be able to help sort things out. Remember for next time any sort of work you do on any games always have it off and don't forget to double check stuff before you turn it on for first time too!

    NEED HELP WITH XMEN REPAIR

    Be careful pulling fuses out and try to use something around the house that you can use to hook the fuse from behind and pop the fuse out. I've seen people use a flat and try to pry it out and even needle nose pliers FFS! I ordered one of these a few years ago from pinball life for $3. Let...

    Which Pin?

    I'm glad to be reading this Barry! LOTR is a great game and sort of starting to sink in how much I will miss it. However I am always glad when one of my former games goes to a good friend of mine and hope you have been happy with our last two trades.

    Sometimes you can't tell if a fuse is good or bad by visually inspecting it unless it clearly looks like this: If you don't have a DMM (digital multi meter) I would suggest getting one because if you plan on staying in this hobby long you will find it very useful. Using the DMM test for...

    You are right, they do look short in the ad pics for some reason. Not sure if they used a weird lens but if you want a R& with proper legs I heard meegis is selling his for $2200 with a brand new NOS "FIRE" shooter lane button too!
