    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    I used to keep them in and make the kids earn money to play, until my 8 year old saw me open it up and add credits, now he can do that on most of my games, so put it back on free play mode. :FP:

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Found out my High Speed is starting to behave poorly! The left ball kicker is sticking and it is not a standard coil, some sealed black box. -sigh-. And there must be a loose wire in a wiring harness, the left two flashers do not flash, if I shake the wires at the back it starts working. -sigh-...

    Vid Noob v. Marvel Vs Capcom & Killer Instinct

    I did a LOT of price comparing and for the regular stuff his price was amazing and he was very helpful ... If I had to do it again, I would probably start with him, I had great dealings with a company in the UK, however shipping was quite expensive, and there is a really really good company in...

    Vid Noob v. Marvel Vs Capcom & Killer Instinct

    If you are looking to tinker, build your own mame ... I had a blast building mine, I tried to capture most of the stuff I had to do .... http://arcade.thewebexpert.ca/ I added a PACLED (led controller) and LED buttons, but that is total overkill and not necessary at all. Derek

    Pissed off about Shipping Costs

    I also got fed up with the flat rate shipping, fortunately I can drive to the states in about 60 minutes and there is a cool service that you pay 5 bucks a package, and they will hold anything for a year (and they give you a full shipping address) ... so as long as we are not in a rush .... we...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Got to turn on the lineup for the kids (they had some friends over). It is so much fun introducing kids to pinball. It is also funny to see which games they gravitate to! Tron? NOPE, it ends up usually being either Toledo or Stargate!

    How do I remove this clip?

    I find small needle nose pliers the best, that way it does not fly all over the room, or get dropped. :) But I am over carefull since I aways drop crap in the machine ... I now drape sheets over the box when I am working on the underside of the playfield ... because if it can fall off, it will...

    Judge Dredd Deadworld Issue

    I am in no way an expert ... but if I was trying to troubleshoot it, I would be in test mode, and make sure none of the optos are stuck "on" and make sure each one responds when I break the beam. Once you find the one, it may just need an alignment or replacement.

    Tron Ramp Needed

    Looks like they over tightened my left ramp at the factory too much and it is cracked a bit at the screw, it is still working fine, but it is only a matter of time before it brakes. Anyone in the Ottawa area with a spare one for sale, please let me know Cheers Derek

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Whoohoooo! My pinball lineup is back up 100% running thank's to PinHead.ca !!! Thank you Geoff! I wired my coil backwards and blew a bunch of chips, I tried to fix it myself, but in the end, did not know how to troubleshoot it any further. I was able to replace a capacitor and a resistor that...
