    New to pinball. Suggestions?

    I vote for Fish Tales. Of course you have enough for Nascar, Judge Dredd, BSD, etc. Lots of good pins in your range. Just make sure it does not have ramps or other major parts you can't find replacements for (Checkpoint for me)...

    My 1st mod. Las Vegas sign 4 Elvis

    My tech says the DC voltage is keeping the sign from doing the rotating chasing lights like when it was battery operated. Had to solder some cat hair but its all good now.

    My 1st mod. Las Vegas sign 4 Elvis

    One of my co-workers was in Vegas last week and got me this at a souvenir shop ($18). I used to play warhammer 40K so I am adept at conversion work. I cut off the base and drilled a hole, found a suitable spot where it won't effect gameplay and now all I need is a quick tech visit to hook it...

    What's the deal with UK settings on my sterns

    So an outlane blocker like T2 and drain plugs. I would think the modders out there would want the extras. Depending on what sort of work it may entail. I remember I had a retired UK tech looked at my Wizard! Way back when and he was shocked with how clean it was inside. I guess the higher...

    What's the deal with UK settings on my sterns

    From the portals menu it gives the impression UK models have drain plugs and other options. Just wondering where that would fit. Maybe they are a bit smaller than the one I had on bally Atlantis.... Maybe its a drain plug over the auto launch play again timer.....

    Fixed: Nascar pit row issue

    Played 2 test games to multiball and it held up fine. I do hear the coil firing sometimes. Gotta keep an eye the next few games. Still working good. Will keep an eye on it for a while. Nascar is not getting the play as when it was the newest...

    Looking For First Machine

    Played a GL at VFW show. Not a bad machine at all. Was pretty fun. Certainly left a good impression over some of the other machines I played in that era.

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Just spitballing but I might try some clear drying glue. I used some to glue on a small chipped off spot on a head. Line was there but at least no bare wood the peice was there.

    Fixed: Nascar pit row issue

    My 2 pit row coils 27/28 seem to be acting up. During gameplay they will power up when the ball is not in pit row. They also power up and prevent ball lock. I cleaned the pit row opto (upper and lower) by the 2 coils. I don't think it would be the top of the left ramp area but that seems to be...

    Looking For First Machine

    I would like to think Bally Atlantis could be close to your range. I had one years ago I got from the Starburst live auction. Needed a few missing parts (drain plug was a biggie). I guess it really depends on what skills you bring to the table. Pretty well everything at your price point in SS...

    Looking For First Machine

    At least you are in Toronto so you are pretty central when looking. I would suggest watching the local live auctions. Do some research before you go. Some machines have parts that commonly break that can be very hard if not impossible to find. Ramps are typically in this category. Don't be...

    Stern's next pinball... :)

    With the reviews Ghostbusters is getting you may want to think it over.... Yeah I have a pinball machine based on one of last years biggest box office let downs. Now Suicide Squad is another story.

    I Think my Buddy is Talented!!

    I used to play Warhammer 40K. Lots of talented painters are out there. I have a few I keep tabs on that do great work and work cheap. If you clearcoat with Quickshade (light, medium or dark) it will do the shading for you. You just paint, do your lining and highlights and the Quickshade does the...

    Stern's next pinball... :)

    I caught the Whoa Nellie retheme. I guess they just cheaped out and didn't want the beer case stand. Kinda proud of myself after only ever playing a few games of Whoa Nellie at VFW. Thumper bumpers were the dead givaway for me.

    "Original" Inside Decals for sale by Hassanchop

    So is this like a cabinet mylar/sticker? Do I have to remove my playfield to apply it? A nice Vegas skyline (each side of the street) would look cool in Elvis. Unsure if current or classic Vegas would be more appropriate/popular.
