    3D Printers and Pinball

    I bought these remote controlled outlets for my games ages ago, and I noticed the velcro that was holding the remote to the wall was starting to tear the paint off, so I made this today. Nothing too fancy, but I did make countersink cutouts for the mounting screws:

    3D Printers and Pinball

    Never seen those-each of them would be game specific though. Looks like a simple enough shape-what are you trying to cover up?

    Parts and tool storage

    These ones have dividers in them: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-metal-stackable-wall-mountable-43-drawers-cabinet-20x12x6-in-0581023p.0581023.html?rq=parts+storage+drawer#srp I have a couple of those, and printed labels for each drawer so I know what's in them. I've also got...

    FF accessories

    Anyone ordered a set of Expression Lights from P1 yet? I saw Nitro has them up on the web at $695, so assuming the same price at P1.

    FF accessories

    So there's a new multiball that is tied to all the band member combos, but you can play it with or without the topper. The topper lets you carry over progress, but it's not gated content. I don't think those combos have inserts, although I'm assuming they're in the status report like on JP...

    FF accessories

    I might end up getting the expression lights if distro price is reasonable. I like them on the LE, and it's something you see more than the topper. I finally saw the BKSOR topper at Maple, and it's really cool, but hard to pay attention to if you're playing. I'm looking forward to seeing what...

    TIP GnR - Beta Code Update

    Nice to see a code update from them-it seems like they've been kind of few and far between for a while. I still feel kind of bad for POTC owners never getting that game finished.

    Next TOPL season starts March 11, 2024

    Hey everyone, just a heads up that the next TOPL season starts Monday March 11, 2024, at Nick's place. For those that don't already know, we're trying out a tweak to the format where we're playing a 7 week season followed by a playoff tournament on week 8 (instead of the old 13 week season with...

    Halfdeck's Arcade Time Capsule

    OK, that looks really cool. I need to do some more digging though-that video didn't have any of the roms installed, but from the sound of things you need a separate controller to play the games in there (i.e. you can't use the quest controllers)? I wonder if there's a way to get light gun...

    WTB Looking for references on restoring a 1962 AMI juke box

    If I remember correctly, @necro_nemesis has restored a bunch of jukeboxes.

    Princess Bride is the next P3 title

    The multiple toppers/side art etc seems to make more sense if you were putting the game out on location somewhere, or even taking it to shows, but at home, even changing/storing the artwork seems like a lot. Maybe if you're only doing one or two changeovers a year? Another great theme, but I...

    Spike 3 coming soon - Metallica

    So what's the difference going to be between spike 2 and 3? It it just an upgraded main board, and all the node boards are the same? Given the way things are distributed in Spike games, that seems like the only thing that would need a significant upgrade. What CPU is on that board? I'd have...

    Nitro Pinball comes east

    OK, so not something I'm just imagining. They're clearly on the list though, so maybe that means Stern is open to more dealers in Canada now? Probably oversimplifying a lot, but I do wonder whether any of it has to do with Gary not being in charge anymore. The exclusive territory thing is an...

    Nitro Pinball comes east

    I remember hearing at one point that P1 had exclusivity on Stern in Canada, and that Nitro had to get their Stern stock through them. Is that not true anymore?

    Stern Jaws

    Being able to cradle the ball on that mini flipper is a neat trick.

    Stern Jaws

    Thanks-I'm actually really curious to shoot both the pro and the premium on this one-it actually looks like the pro might be OK? The boat in the "down" position is identical on both, so really all it changes there is that the shark bash toy becomes another shot to the same captive ball bash...

    Stern Jaws

    Doesn't look like there's a feature matrix up, but pro seems to be missing upper PF, and the shark bash toy and boat are combined? Kind of surprised that they got Richard Dreyfuss to do custom speech for it. I guess he's the one that's still alive? I figured we'd get a decent Robert Shaw...

    Do you even play?

    If I'm playing at home, it's typically only a game or two at a time, so it takes a while to add up. Everything gets used when I host TOPL here, and I'm also playing weekly at different people's collections for league, so it's a decent balance. Plus I'll definitely play my games in waves, so...

    TZ 3rd Magnet video.....

    You could always edit in annotations/text after the fact, either overlaid on the video, or as stills between clips? If you got really fancy, you could chapter stop those on youtube so you could skip to a specific step directly, and have a description with a list of steps. That way you could...

    SOLD 500 boarded/bagged comics. Trade ??

    Are comics from the 90s worth anything these days? I still have thousands. Haven't found anywhere that will take them, but also haven't looked too closely.
