Moved this thread to the WTB section. I still need a Gottlieb wedgehead metal backbox door and a Gottlieb two-player metal backbox door. Let me know what is available and price. Thanks!

We're eating our own young here, people. Leave the flipping to the flippers.

I pumped up the game pretty good when I guested on the Pinball Podcast last month: http://www.thepinballpodcast.com/2015/09/22/episode-65-slice-soda-and-kick-butt-stuff/ I love the game. It's basically High Speed with a magnet and no Python Anghelo burn victims on the backglass. No joke...

I've done no online digging to find the answer to this, perhaps you know, Doug: What was Williams' reasoning for running twenty feet of wire to a vibration-prone coil to tap into the 50V in the first place? The whole thing reeks of sloppyness--more like an operator hack rather than a technique...

Well said. I believe in pinball karma. I'll never attempt to pull the rug out from under someone who has struck a deal. If it means losing out, so be it. I was recently rewarded with a few sweetheart deals that fell into my lap...so the karma train keeps rolling along.

Two more games on the list, courtesty of brewmanager's gameroom: OXO - AJA Argosy - RHO 22-21 for Drano.

This is almost certainly someone else's.

Welcome 7. Glad to have you along for the ride.

In a total coincidence, I have the pleasure of working on two JPs concurrently. In the below photo, an unfinished original sits next to the repaint. Bob provided stencils from TwistedPins, but given their, um, less than stellar track record for quality, I opted to cut my own stencils for the...

Time to resurrect this thread. Spent some time on a rainy afternoon in the basement with my son fixing games. I've been spending a lot of time painting cabinets for others, that my own collection felt neglected. No board work or major issues, just little things that accumulate. Rollergames...

Damn right. You're talkin' to a guy who had a walk-in shoe closet built for his wife...

Degreaser and a scrub, then some Autosol for a real deep shine. Buffing optional. Autosol is available from Crappy Tire, surprisingly...

That's the price is was when it was first for sale back in August! Thy market hath corrected itself? Again, be warned: lots of unique parts on this beast that are very hard to come by and are vital to game play. There are reasons why $400 examples of this game have sat unsold at Allentown the...

The USC is more versatile. Painted plastics and coated metal, stuff you wouldn't want to put in the tumbler lest it eat away at the finish, will get nice and clean, safely, in the USC. That said, the ultra shine you'll get on your posts and metal accents is stunning after 12 hours in the...

No, Scott, I don't want your Gottlieb Domino.... ;)

Millionaire was one BIG defect in the System 11 era! :)

No, didn't come from the factory like that. I'm sure it left the factory looking aces. However, like anything, wear is going to start at the weakest point. Obviously, the tooling weakened the adherence of the paint and clear to the wood, so the wear started there...in a perfect circle.

Congrats. Good choice!

That "coffee cup" wear is common for nearly every Millionaire I've seen. Don't quote me, but I think they used some sort of tool to hold or stabilize the playfield while assembling it that prevented the clear coat and screening to adhere properly. Those ring stains are brutal--right over the...
