I don't think so? The way I read the description it just randomized the L/R for each choice, so the caves are the same, but just in a different order. Seriously cool rules update though.

So I fixed it. Voltage was low at the coil, so I was tracing back up and decided to check all the fuses, instead of just the one that might be blown. This time, F901 was blown, which is the upper left flipper fuse, and that flipper was working just fine. F903 (lower left) was fine, but the lower...

Usually I suspect it's "don't get caught". If you're making stuff for personal use, and not selling it, that's one thing. When you're charging though? I remember Brock got a Cease & Desist for using Marvel characters on shooter rods back in the day. Once you get big enough, someone will...

Not yet, but that's on the list as well. If one of those is flaky, cheaper than a new board. I'll get into it on the weekend, but glad I still have another WPC to swap parts with and test.

No, I haven't moved those again. The thought had crossed my mind, but when I originally moved the opto boards, the problem didn't move, so I thought they were good, but then again, maybe not? Might be interesting to see if it moves this time? Actually, what I might try is moving the boards...

So last week, I ran into a problem with my TZ, which has been rock solid in the 10 years or so I've owned it. After I had people over for league, the lower right flipper stopped working completely. No obviously busted wires, coil wouldn't fire in test. Fuses are fine, opto boards are fine...

Very cool design-thanks for sharing.

So when you swapped the coil, the problem was on the same flipper with the "good" coil, and the flipper that had the "bad" coil was OK? If that's the case, then it's likely not the coil. Sounds like you've tried a lot already. I'm not actually sure whether a 3v drop at that range makes a...

Which games is this on? Might help diagnose. If the left/right flippers are the same coil, I might try swapping them to see if the problem moves? If the flipper isn't holding up, then is it too tight/loose to the PF? There should be a little bit of up/down movement on a flipper (I think the...

Other than the left scoop/kicker, what else is different that really changes the way the game flows? Some of the cosmetics on the premium/LE are neat, but if you want to save a few bucks, it's not a bad pro.

TWD is definitely the harder game, but both are good. For ST, I'd probably look for a pro over a premium-the extra stuff there just isn't worth the money.

So I was flipping through my RSS feeds, and I saw a picture of Julie come up. CBC radio did a bit on the resurgence of pinball with Corey Cooke, Julie Dorssers, and a couple who have built an arcade out in PEI: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/pinball-popular-profit-1.6692822?cmp=rss Neat...

Sure, I can test for you. What do you need-just something printed on regular label paper?

Saw the pinball news story about this one, and I didn't realize that it was actually mechanical score reels in the backbox. The pictures made it look like a regular LCD that just did the Beatles thing with the fake reels, but this is apparently mechanical reels with a lit plastic (in the same...

I suppose this is for Bond collectors? Kind of a shame, since I would have thought this was what they were going to do with the mainline bond game instead of being all Connery. Will likely be a simpler game (like Beatles), which is OK, but not necessarily something I feel the need to own. I...

That looks pretty awesome. Is the only way to get it to be a member of their fan club, or will they be available through distros? Odds seem pretty good that it'll sell out fast though if Rick and Morty was any indication. Anyone planning on trying to get one?

Played both CC and CC continued a bunch of times. It's an OK game-nothing really special, other than the rarity. It will be interesting to see what the new rules Lyman was working on turn out to be. I do wonder how it'll stand up next to modern LCD games though. It's almost into the same...

OK, those are really neat.

Blue isn't bad. Is that just a clear acrylic etch? You can usually get those on RGB bases that can be whatever color you want.

Well, ended up selling everything in one shot. Replied to one of those ads on kijiji from someone looking to buy, and managed to get pretty good value out of everything. Saved a bunch of time, and traded for a pile of cash. I have a bunch of other devices that can play all those games, so...
