    Dialed In on location in Montreal

    Just for everyones info, if you live nearby or if you're visiting the Montreal area, North Star has now added Dialed In to the lineup! Not sure if there is anywhere else to check this out on route. If you haven't checked out the location or the game, both are worth while. Great place and all...

    What's your favourite game?

    You can only pick ONE! Curious to see how people will answer this question. Are we gonna see more classic titles, or modern machines? Of course this is a super tough question to answer, but if I have to pick a machine, it would be CFTBL. Love the theme, love the music, love the looks, love...

    EM Coils "Machine Gunning"

    This issue just popped up on my Bally wizard. The 10 point and 100 point relays will machine gun intermittently. All 10 and 100 point switches will cause the issue. Occasionally it scores just 10 or 100 points as it should, but about 80% of the time it will machine gun anywhere from 2 times to...

    WTB EM part needed

    Hi everyone. I need the nylon collar for the plunger used in the stepper coils in my Bally Wizard. Hoping someone has some spare parts kicking around or knows where I can get one of these. This is what it looks like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ben's Bally Wizard! Project

    Well I didn't think I'd even get started on this until some time into the new year, but I had some free time today and couldn't resist. Here it is. As it sits, when plugged in and turned on the game lights up. When the coin mechanism is triggered on the coin door it triggers the score motor...

    Just picked up my first EM!

    Came across a good deal on a Bally Wizard! last week and got around to checking it out and picking it up this weekend. Rescued it from sitting in storage collecting dust. Needs some TLC to get her up and running and a good cleaning after that, but overall a really nice find! Might put together...

    Definition of "Collector Quality"

    Well after a recent comment in another thread, it got me thinking more about the term "Collector Quality". I feel like I've been seeing this term pop up from time to time in FS threads and discussions. It sometimes seems to get thrown around the way the term "shop job" does. Naturally, not...

    How much pinball do you play?

    Curious to hear how much time you guys are playing pinball each day, or if you don't play every day, how much do you play in a week or a month? Especially curious to hear how much pinball time some of the more accomplished tournament players log. Adam? I try to get at least a game or two in...

    SOLD Johnny Mnemonic [TRADED]

    Putting my Johnny Mnemonic up for sale or trade, with my preference being to find a trade. If I was going to sell it I'd like to get $2500. This is a nice players condition Johnny Mnemonic that I picked up from one of the members here in October. The game plays fast and functions perfectly...

    Learned Something About Switches Today

    Well today I made a rookie mistake, hoping others can learn from it. I don't come from any kind of electrical/mechanical background whatsoever, so if you're in the same boat this might be useful for you. I had a funny issue with my Johnny Mnemonic tonight after I replaced a flakey "launch...

    New addition to the Great White North

    Well it's been a long winter and it isn't over up here in Timmins just yet. We still had a foot of snow on the ground that hadn't melted yet, but Mother Nature felt the need to dump another foot of snow on top of it. Of course we weren't too impressed so we went to check out a movie at the...

    Striker's got a new friend!

    And his name is Keanu Reeves... Picked up Johnny Mnemonic last weekend and got it home on Monday. Gave the playfield a quick wipe down with novus and cleaned the glass. Still needs a good cleaning and I'm looking forward to doing it in the next little while. I will be documenting the process...

    Would less expensive titles sell for 8k NIB?

    With all the talk about the Medieval Madness remake, and AFM being next in line, it's got me thinking about which other titles would sell. Obviously it's a no brainer on games that sell at or above this price point already in the collector community, but what about titles that can be had well...

    Anyone having trouble with YouTube?

    I've been having a strange issue with YouTube lately. Video will load and play fine in a default resolution. If I try to change the resolution, higher or lower, the video simply stops and can't be resumed unless I refresh the page, and then it only loads at the default resolution again. This...
