    Playfield Clearcoat in London

    Being a one part premixed ('1k') clearcoat makes this very handy. I used a foam brush and results were amazing. This product levels extremely well. At the moment I don't have access to the few pictures I took. But I do know there are extensive photos in a restoration thread at this site...

    Habs vs. Bruins

    Not anymore! As someone who watches every Bruins regular season game, and of course all of their playoff games, recently this has led to watching hockey every almost every other day right into June. Watching hockey becomes an 'excuse' for not doing other things. So I guess I will have a little...

    SOLD Container Pinballs *list received*

    The October 2012 order for the DW, with taxes/fees was CAN$1543.80 + CAN$150 for local shipping YUL to YYZ. I expected to dish out $200 more for typical fixes - flipper kits, rubber, misc. parts etc. plus my own labour. However, this added cost is definitely game specific purely based on game...

    SOLD Container Pinballs *list received*

    This was my first container pin, a Dr. Who back in Dec 2012. The underside was a mess. Corrosion was bad. Every screw pulled from the PF was black. Gerry first offered me some cash to buy new parts. But I was not up for stripping and sanding the underside of the PF - which was required here. He...

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    LOL. I'm finding it hard enough to troubleshoot while trying to wrap things up at work before I leave. The drink wouldn't help at this point.... But believe me, I'd rather be fixing this problem then the ones I have at work ;) ...useless offshore resources... :cry:

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    Not sure I will have time to get into this with Stern before leaving for Pinburgh. Will address next Monday I guess. To swap the CPU boards I'd have to move the pull the CPU and Sound ROMS out, at least twice. I thought of it.... and seeing as I how I inadvertently pulled the ram chip with high...

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    Would be nice to have the TP details. They are listed down the side but don't give expected values - at least none that I can interpret.

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    Well, it's not the socketed chips U213 or U209. Nothing left to swap between my TSPP board and LOTR except sound and CPU. At this point I will call Stern.

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    I was looking to see which is the PIA... I don't know anything about the Stern MPU. Looking at the games just now, LOTR and TSPP U213 have the same sticker: 520 - 5136 5519 U213 LAT 02 I agree that it's here somewhere, and having narrowed it down to this board is the most progress I've made in...

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    Right. I only noticed the callouts yesterday after choosing to pursue more extensive gameplay troubleshooting. Mixed emotions really, as it hit me then that my other repairs were a waste. I'm alway reluctant to swap a good game board into a bad game... but it became a sanity preservation...

    LOTR Balrog moves when it shouldn't

    Balrog issues have been documented a lot, but this one's got me stumped. The Balrog on my LOTR is trying to move when it shouldn't and the usual fixes are not helping. At the start of the game, the Balrog correctly moves to unblock the centre ramp. As soon as the ball is plunged and again...

    f14 display

    You made this driver equivalent out of discrete components for each non-working segment(s)? How discrete? ;) Would love to have seen a picture of that display board fix!

    hardware/screw kit?

    I got this exact same thing at Princess Auto (Dixie Rd) for $20 a couple years ago. I bought it for the storage unit but it came with the hardware - the same M series machine nuts/bolts I see noted on the labels in your image. The hardware does address some needs for pinball, but they are not...

    best way to polish metal?

    A buffing wheel was the way I used to buff all metal... Remove a bunch of parts and go into the garage with compound(s) in hand and work the cloth wheel. Since then I found that for regraining ball guides, ball troughs, metal ramps... even touching up wire gates that have lost their lustre, or...
