    ALIEN Pinball from Heighway Pinball

    Much like Aurich's Pinside posts, there is a whole lot said, without saying much at all. Or perhaps, what was said could have been condensed quite a bit without so much tedious exposition. It does get much more interesting and engaging when they discuss topics other than the Alien project, though.

    BG Resto

    Go with BGresto if you can't handle that flaking. Their product looks fine if you ask me. Even if you want to argue their colours look washed out, it's an wedgehead backglass where 75% of it remains unlit at all times. There was an original Volley glass on eBay for a long while sold by an...

    VFW Michigan Pinball Show (Ann Arbor) May 13-15

    They're actually expanding their tournament scene this year! They have the EM World Championships on Friday during the day, coupled with the all-new Italian Pinball Championship....played on the VFW's new lineup of Zaccs. These tournaments carry no IFPA value, bragging rights only. An extra...

    VFW Michigan Pinball Show (Ann Arbor) May 13-15

    I'll be attending. I've been each of the prior two years. Great, diverse collection that keeps expanding. All games are well kept...no issues or basket cases. If something breaks during the show, there are ample techs on site to get the game fixed. Seeing the end-to-end row of classic...

    Get ready for a 0.59 dollar. ALLENTOWN 2016 isn't looking that appealing anymore. .. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/business/macquarie-loonie-forecast-1.3401644 Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    Removed the sling moon and pop bumper ring mylar. I wouldn't wish this process on my worst enemy. I used the freeze method to get the plastic off, followed by equal parts Goo-Gone, flower, gentle hair dryer heat and plenty of patience for the goo. A credit card didn't work to scrape the goo...

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    I found Greg Kmiec's signature during disassembly: On every game he designed, Greg Kmiec would place a single non-translucent, non-ribbed post somewhere on the playfield. Bally pinballs used the translucent posts for the most part, the non-translucent ones were reserved for Bally's bingo...

    FOUND Volley

    Target Alpha, Solar City and Canada Dry offer bonus countdown at end of ball (double bonus on the last ball) instead of the "moving spot" feature on El Dorado and it's wedgehead kin. TA/SC/CD can be set up as Extra Ball or Special, via a Jones plug. Regardless of your chosen setup, knocking...

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    I’ll start this thread to document the facelift I’ll be giving my newly acquired Bally Six Million Dollar Man. It should be a slow process, so no need to buckle up. We can rebuild him… The game is a bit of a dream theme of mine. While not being old enough to remember the Bionic Man from his...

    Pinball with the Pros - Episode 1

    Coast 2 Coast Pinball has a new video project entitled Pinball with the Pros, wherein Nate from C2C plays a Stern game with a guest--a player ranked in the Top 50 of the IFPA. Its a great way to learn a game for competition play. Stern games are used because Stern is the sponsor. Episode 1 of...

    Pinball for Change - Battle of Burlington

    Great to see all the games get a proper workout. No breakers popped. No catastrophic fails. A couple stuck balls, a temperamental ball count unit on an EM and a handful of broken rubbers (they don't make'em as good as they used to folks) were the only snags during a smooth running evening...

    Cyclone with a System 11a CPU board

    You should be OK with an 11A MPU inside of an 11B game. From the holy bible of pinball: "The most flexible CPU board is system11A. The system11A CPU board can be used in any 1986-1990 sys11, sys11b or sys11c game The only exception is if the sys11A CPU board is going into a original sys11 game...

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

    Great work, Drano. Needless to say I'm happy we have a good thing going with the Clearcoat-For-Cabinet exchange. I may fast track this one in the swap queue (leapfrogging Transporter and Fire) because it looks so great! Let the 6803 headaches begin!! Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
