    MISSING PERSON: Guelph, ON

    Keep us updated on progress, Brock. Hoping for some good news soon.

    Custom Signed Apron Cards

    It's no Lawlor or Ritchie, but I got designer Tim Seckel to sign an apron card for my WWF Royal Rumble. I sent my card care of WMS Gaming (yep, the old California Avenue address where all those great games of ours were built). His Linkedin profile said he worked at WMS, however, he had...

    New to pinball revolution

    Welcome. I'm assuming it's a Bally Kiss you have judging by the rest of your collection. Is it restored? One of the most bad ass looking games of the era. Unfortunately, when it comes to gameplay it's just plain bad. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    here comes the bride...

    Agree. Lots of black machines already. Purple is different..unique. Sets it apart. The black doesn't look awful, but it's no purple!!

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

    Added a beautiful GTB Abra Ca Dabra. A few small adjustments to the AX relays and some switch adjustments and the thing plays like a dream. The coin door looked like it got in a fight with a crowbar--I was able to replace it with a nicer shell I scored from an EM collector in Aurora. When...

    The Ever-Widening Circle - One Pin To Rule Them

    Please. I think we both know who was "frosty" when I attempted to strike up a conversation with you at the hotel breakfast area in Ann Arbor last year. I was brushed off like Gary Stern's dandruff. Don't try to assign blame. I'm not saying there isn't static, but it comes from both ends of...

    Toronto Blue Jays Thread: 2016

    It's a call that could have been made at any time in the past few years..nothing new. The new rules introduced this year limit the slide...and have little to do with clotheslining or dropkicking the baseman. Because those latter things have always been illegal as intentional interference, just...

    Toronto Blue Jays Thread: 2016

    Better hope Jose drops the shoe grabbing routine. If that finale in Tampa a few nights ago would have happened at Toronto's home opener we would have seen a full-on riot. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Wife wants a basketball themed pin

    My vote is for Fastbreak. I've always loved the game. Basketball-style scoring is a neat hook...but it's an adjustable setting if you'd like the overblown scores in the millions. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    So much for painting the body this weekend! That April Ontario snowfall will get you every time! I managed to get a final coat of primer on the 6MDM cab Saturday morning before the flurries flew, so at least I didn't get cut off in the middle of a process. I was forced indoors to clean up and...

    Kijiji Sux

    There's a big segment of dibs-callers out there on Kijiji--people who respond in the first few minutes of an ad popping up, say they want the machine, and just never follow up. I'm not sure the motivation there. Do they find something better that gets listed and forget? Does reality set in...

    Dr@No's fun filled (and often long-winded) restorations

    Not often I enjoy being a glorified delivery boy, but with cargo like this! No problem!!!

    If anyone wants to hear me ramble on about my arcade project...

    I'll take a hit, dealer! Caffeine and pinball, two things that get me through the day. Make sure to update us with plenty of pictures. Good luck in the venture.

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    The LVLP gun I got is a SprayIt SP-33000, available from Home Depot or Amazon here in Canada. Made by California Air Tools. Good quality for the money. Bought it in a kit that came with 1.5mm, 1.7mm and 2.0mm needles/tips. From what I've read, 80-90% of the paint you put in the LVLP...

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    With the up and down weather, I've finally be able to squeeze in stenciling the head. I would normally spray the entire cab in one shot, but I'm experimenting with some new equipment, and I've never used a vinyl stencil kit before...so baby steps to be safe. I bought a twenty gallon compressor...

    Rob Zombie Pinball Reveal

    Things just seem to be a lot...tighter on other machines. More pulled together. More cohesive. It looks like someone just dumped a half-empty parts box onto the playfield. Maybe this is indicative of the affordable price point? Who knows, it may shoot well, but it looks anemic compared to...
