    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Mr/Mrs Pacman and a Raven on kijijii just down the road from me in Norwich. I never got a chance to play pacman at pinbrawl as it was down the day I was there. From the IPD reviews it seems like I didn't miss much. Raven onthe other hand I havenevwr had the desire to play. Don't like the look...

    Back again Nascar garage issue

    Seems that moving the wires to the same configuration as the open close switch has solved my issue. Oh well, seems like I get what I pay for with free service from my former arcade tech buddy. You should see the hack on my checkpoint motherboard looks a bit nasty having a little pony board off...

    Back again Nascar garage issue

    Now thinking the replacement switch may be wired up wrong. Its not the same lugs as the switch for the open close switch. Going to experiment with it tomorrow morning.

    Back again Nascar garage issue

    Followed up on the only advice I received on my piside thread on this issue and cleaned all the coil sleeves in this mech. I will update after I get my mech back with replaced micro switches.

    Back again Nascar garage issue

    Nascar seems to have a few intermittent issues. The main one being the garage. It was not always raising. My tech buddy came by and this machine is newer than anything he has worked on from his days as an arcade tech 20+ years ago. We swapped out the switch on the side of the mech that was...

    I am currently having a few intermittent switch issues anx am doing musy best to play the heck out of nascar until my tech buddy comes by in a few weeks to replace any issues outstanding.

    Just got NASCAR home

    I met up with Tim (fiftyquid) at Starburst. We did the old vehicle transfer Gor the machine up and running immediately. Lots of fun. I just have to tweak the leg levelling for the carpet it's on to get the test car to drop the ball to the left flipper 100% by adjusting the rear legs. Front are...

    ColorDMD's next game is South Park

    I am new to this colour dmd concept. Does the hardware remain the same amd the software proms make it comparable to different machines? If that is so my guess is my checkpoint will never be a release as the dmd size is so different to a standard sized one. They should have a soon to come to...

    FOUND Nascar

    I was at work and my wife claims she couldn't figure out how to bid... Anyhow, I have yet to get an issue free machine from that auction. But heck now that the pricing bar has been set so low... Looking for a Nascar (or variant) for my current auto themed pin collection. (top priority) My wife...

    DMD issue, where to start looking?

    When I originally picked the machine up it has DMD problems that were easy to fix a blown capacitor (I believe) my tech guy didn't have the right one at the time so we cabbaged together a few to get up to the required voltage. I am thinking of starting there first (as I have the right parts now...

    DMD issue, where to start looking?

    Seems my Checkpoint is having a weird DMD issue. I usually play 3 players and have been having some sporadic issues with the DMD. Sometimes it works just fine. Other times it will only show the player 1 and 3 scores, sometimes it will go blank during the player 2 play just to work again on...

    SOLD F-14 Tomcat

    I played one of these at MPE and really hated the immediate drain if you were not paying close attention. Fun game.

    Anyone have any auction results?

    I wouldn't mind selling after June 1. Even better would be to swap it for something I want more with the old +/- cash to make it happen. I gotta admit it sure is a step up from High Speed. Still a few things I would like to make it better like get a nicer (undamaged ramp), also considering...

    Anyone have any auction results?

    Unfortunately my phone didn't have the juice (and I was at work) to check any of the results. I was wondering what the Checkpoint ended up going for. It was $1000 before I left for my overtime shift at 10am. I still don't plan on selling mine yet but it's always good to keep up on what the...
