As the title says, this will be a project. The machine powers up but won't start. I installed a CPR playfield back in the day but had an issue with the rollover buttons. The claws to hold the stars snapped when inserting the stars. I reached out to them about it and got nothing but silence...

I brought this back from a show in the states many moons ago to have as a spare. Never used, never unwrapped. $40 seems like a fair price. Pick-up in the Lawrence-Meadowvale area of Scarborough. Cash or Interac works for me. Cheers, Tom

The great downsizing is underway.. First up is a Lyman 1200 Tumbler and an almost full box of crushed nutshells. I bought this in 2009 and only used it 6-7 times. I plugged it in this morning and it still tumbles. Box and instructions included. $50 for everything will take it. Pick-up in the...

From my mis-spent university days in Waterloo, my favourite places to play were in the arcade room in the UW Campus Centre (it may have had a name, I don't remember) and the same Campus Centre had two machines in the pub (we called it the Bomb Shelter, it may have had a real name). There was...

The Finch West Mall at Finch and Weston in North York opened in 1972 and had an arcade. A bit of googling tells me that it was called "Guidion’s Pinball and Billiard Arcade", although I don't recall the billiard part. Pretty sure that the arcade lasted through the 70s, not sure how long it went...

Nope..all pinball parts are long gone.

Batch is a brewpub that recently opened in downtown Toronto at Victoria and Richmond. Popped in for my first visit last night and discovered a Williams MM in the downstairs bar. Didn't get a chance to play it, but my office is right across the street and I expect that I may have a new lunch...

I received confirmation today that this machine has found a new home and is no longer available. Mods, thread can be closed if you'd like..

I was put in contact with someone who had a machine in their basement who desperately wants it gone. Initial jubilation (this never happens to me!) turned to dismay when I received the photos and it turned out to be this machine. I have zero interest in it, but thought I'd throw it out there to...

A Cleveland friend of mine sent me this link. Slash has lent his game for the GNR exhibit. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/02/1-2-3-4_rock_hall_looks_at_sla.html#incart_m-rpt-2

Well...that has got be the weirdest fix ever, especially considering that these worked for so long with that plug connected. Did a pinball gremlin sneak in and plug it on me? One of pinball's great mysteries, I guess. Thanks for the pointer, Sylvain! Here's hoping the glue holds up until such...

Thanks Sylvain...your experience adds credence to my research. Planning to look into this as soon as I get home; will post back with results.

I did some reading this morning. The best advice that I can find is to disconnect the plug on the shaker board. I'll look into that tonight and report back.
