I did get a very brief look at it at WW. I'd like to take a better look at your setup next time I am at your place.Vengeance said:
Well, I have returned from 90 days of extremely busy times at work. Maybe I will post a little more, and I do have some stories to tell and share soon.
In all of this busy time, from March 15 - June 15, I kept some things very simple for pinball. (This helped me out quite a bit) Sold some, bought some
and kept things as simple as I could for repairs as my brain was otherwise taxed and full with work.
At home, STTNG is setup. The rest are folded, and I am now finally ready to reassemble 3-4 more. I max out at 4-5 at home.
At work, One EM and One SS in my office. Volley and Pinbot. Short and sweet, and they both work for me.
In my staff kitchen @ work, Shadow and No Fear, both undergoing a bit of tweaking.
In my workroom, (a container full of folded pins) and Trident #1 setup.
All good for now. Roadtrip to Quebec soon for the big restoration project on the classic SS machines I keep hinting at.
Then some room to breath, and 3-4 projects for the summer.
That's pinball baby!

Man,
I'm in the middle of day two of an all weekend moving sale.
Everything must go as we start moving next weekend... and the weather was not exactly cooperating yesterday

Good evening all. It has been a week since my last confession.
Sleep is an amazing thing. I won't say I am back to normal yet, but I'm getting there.
Menace stopped by Saturday @ my work to pickup up some gear for his street party.
It took him about 30 seconds to deduce the flipper issue solution to No Fear that has plagued me.
I will comment on the fix at a later date (once I repair it) but it is always nice to know you are on the right
track, even if you need a veteran (or a pro) to confirm your suspicions and figure it out quickly their by skill and intuition.
Thank you Doug for your guidance as always.
For the newer pinball repair guys here, keep plugging away. To the veterans and advice givers, I appreciate the affirmation and encouragement
to keep moving forward. I look forward to the actual repairs once my kids are out of school.
A journey, or even two perhaps, east to La Belle Province are upcoming, and the date(s) are fast approaching. I need a road trip that is not work related badly, just for my mental health and well-being. I love to travel the road when it is convenient. It helps me think, and clarify everything that I am doing.
More later, while my only plan this evening is to see if I can wipe Brewmanager's GC score off my STTNG. We will see, but it will be fun to try anyway!

Kids couldn't sleep Brewmanager. Didn't even play a single game of STTNG yet Walt. Drat!
School is done soon, and I will see if I get a chance tomorrow night now.
For those who don't know already, I really have only room for a couple pins at home.
I can't play after the kids are in bed as they are right underneath their bedrooms.
No desire to ever wake them up. Sigh..................

I attended the last official topl league night of the summer yesterday.
I think since I started with them last season I've missed 2 nights in total. Topl has become my regular monday night activity.
Adam is planning some Pingolf over the summer hiatus, which I've never done, so I will be part of that as well.

Guess it'll have to wait a bit...
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

Thanks Mike. I certainly read that thread. I won't make that mistake for sure.
Could be pricy and dangerous!
