    WTB Checkpoint ramp (Going to Allentown?)

    I am still on the hunt for an undamaged Checkpoint ramp. If you have one or are planning on attending Allentown I am willing to pay $200 Cdn for a good ramp. At least I can watch the P&C auction to see what a non-working Checkpoint is going for soon enough... Thanks, Brad

    Michigan Pinball Expo April 9-12

    I was a bust as far as I was concerned. I will not be attending in the future as this show just seems to find a way to suck more every year. I have not seen that many non-working pins since seeing the basement of ToPEC...

    Michigan Pinball Expo April 9-12

    I don't go there to play in the tourney. As my wife will want to come along I am sure that she will only last 2-3 hours before wanting to leave. I think we only played 20 machines last year. I circle around looking for Alien Poker first and then settle in for a few games on some of the more...

    Michigan Pinball Expo April 9-12

    I can say I am currently in this year. I have been to larger shows with more vendors and machines but this show is the closest. Thought I best start a thread so those who are not or cannot go can post what they may be looking for. I am not opposed to collecting a few prices and phone numbers...

    Firepower II - Kijiji ad - Questions

    Plus don't forget all the fun of movement/shipping. Many a time a pin has worked only to be torn down, moved and set up just to have some sort of hiccup with working correctly.

    DE Checkpoint, check, check, check 1

    Well my board is all fixed up and installed. Now the real fun begins as there is still a short somewhere in the playfield. As the board repair had my tech bud putting in a bunch of sockets we just 'pulled' certain ones and started up to try to localize where the short may be happening. Looks...

    FS williams sky lab - $300

    I'll share the advice my sister in laws father (an old arcade slot tech) told me. "Just leave it running and poke around in there a bit. Just be sure to put your other hand in your pocket."

    Ben's Bally Wizard! Project

    I'm pretty sure I have some playfield plastics lying about. I bought some on e-bay years ago to swap out any damaged ones in my old Wizard! It's long gone now so if you need any plastics let me know and I'll have a look. You can have them for free, you just may have to pay for the postage, etc.

    WTB Checkpoint CPU

    Yeah, not liking all the 'free' hacks my board is getting. I think it's time to replace it rather that bypassing a section to wire them in on their own. Too many hacks could make flipping it out later more difficult. So if you have a good DE Checkpoint cpu drop me a line or better yet a...

    Electronic parts in London

    I received some transistors in the mail from ELELSU and was very happy that I can use paypal to make payment. Very, very convenient for those of us that don't have an electronics supply place in the immediate area. I would have been an hour drive each way for me. God only knows where else my...

    DE Checkpoint, check, check, check 1

    I looked at it again last night. My tech can't make it by until next week. I de-soldered the left slingshot and it's now now blowing the 4A fuse all the time. also noticed that the left slingshot has only had 2 wires on it the whole time I have had the machine. I am wondering where the other...

    DE Checkpoint, check, check, check 1

    As suggested I have began a thread with just all the fun stuff that comes with fixing up my DE Checkpoint I picked up at auction. Initially the left slingshot was not working correctly (scoring but not kicking) Anyhow. With my new load of mail order transistors fro ELELSU in London I am back to...

    Pinball delivery has its perks...

    I gotta say when I saw the title of this thread I was thinking of something else. Then when I saw the bear costume it started to get weird/kinky... Then the whole 'leave the bear suit on' You people make me sick. :shock:
