    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I installed tapatalk for phpbb ... Not as nice as vBulletin but it will do until the community can raise funds for a commercial program. Free for android, .99 on iPhone if you do not already own it ... Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Stargate automatic ball launcher

    When multiball kicks in, there is a automatic ball launcher or kicker that pushes the ball up the right side "lane". The actual pendulum piece was not working well, the metal was worn and a part that should not move, was moving, so I replaced that, however it still does not have enough power...

    PBrev app

    Donation button exists. We would like to move away from using free phpBB to a more current and modern forum software. either vBulleting or invisionPower, fun thing about inivisionPower is it has an online chat. I will probably put up a demo of both and we can vote on which one you guys would...

    PBrev app

    I believe the BB has an app for it. I am still investigating board software alternatives, and which ones come with an app, I would like a proper app that will give push notifications etc. not just a webpage that runs in your iphone. We also need to consider themes, it takes a lot of work to get...

    PBrev app

    we need to raise about 400 bucks for vBulletin which will give a free iphone and android app, + the cost to add an app to the iphone store for free. If I implement tapatalk, it is not free for you iphone users (there is a free android one) but then if we buy vbulletin you lost your money. I am...

    PBrev app

    I'll look into tapatalk, problem is the free one is full of ads ... and the paid one is $39/month which is pretty expensive considering the amount of people who would actually use it. Also the paid version requires the costs involved in publishing an app to the apple store .... Derek

    PBrev app

    For there is be an app, we would need to use a commercial bulletin board software. phpBB is free, and quite old. It has not been modernized or updated in a long time. Commercial BB software costs about $400 , for example vBulletin is a very good platform ... Hopefully this weekend, I will...

    TIP Order your parts from Starburst!

    I like buying from PBR because sending in a money order after you get your shipment feels so 80s. :)

    Multiple file upload one click

    Simple multi-upload to upload attaches using html5 multiple file select. It allows to select a number of files in one dialog (using Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click). So you will be able to upload a bunch of files in just 2-3 clicks. If browser doesn't support html5 it will appear as ordinal upload field.

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I added an easier file uploaded to our forum. you can now hold down control and select more then 1 file ... so you can upload 10 at once if you want. Also added a "QUICK EDIT" function, and more modern logon, and other jquery tweaks. Enjoy

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I finally put Dr. Who back together, with the new motor, playing like a charm. If I have to take apart the time expander one more time I am going to lose it! And to make life ever more difficult, the little red dot on the motor DOES not mean 'Red wire on this side' .

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Doing the Tron Mod 2.0 before he introduced the laser cut plastic molds and marquee, which is way beyond my skill or desire... Still need a 3 min male molex (active 123 was out of stock locally. perhaps it is ebay time). And waiting or my 555 UV LED. So hopefully next week (or the week after) I...

    Bulb touching rubber... Is it ok?

    can you not just put a thinner rubber? at the very least I would put in an LED bulb so there is not heat... use the frosted "retro" ones from CoinTakers, otherwise it looks stupid.
