    Weak flipper.

    If you have access to Pinball Ninja, check out Clay's recent video concerning a weak lower right flipper on a TZ. Ended up being NOT mechanical, but electrical: a flaky opto. Listen carefully when holding the offending flipper button for an oscillation noise. If you hear it, the opto is...

    Weak flipper.

    I'd start with EOS adjustment. Takes care of quite a bit of weak flipper issues.

    The THANKS-giving thread

    Thanks to Warlock and Brewmanager for hosting this past weekend. Open homes and open beer fridges, can't beat it.

    FS williams sky lab - $300

    When Skylab was on location, games cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say! Enjoy the new game, Timbo!

    The WARLOCK Chronicles...

    I agree with Barry above. He hits all the high points: playing, collecting, maintaining, camaraderie. Also glad to see a new series of writings from Warlock on his personal growth in the hobby...with a new perspective. Now we just need to find an abandoned warehouse to rent out in the GTA to...

    I'm bored and game works perfectly

    If you have the right tools, the right replacement parts, and heaps of confidence to spare....go for it. Or you could just play it and try to cure the boredom that way......

    Looks like the newest Stern pin is...

    So...I guess I wait for the Premium "Legends" version to come out in about six to eight months with all the classic wrestlers and no Hulkster signature?

    TIP PinballNinja.com site at 15% off

    I, too, have come along way on the pin repair front in a very short time thanks to Clay's guides. I was able to get a complete set of the original guides on the Canadian "black market" and I refer to them often.

    Best $15 I ever spent. My son and I spend every morning watching the videos over breakfast.

    WTB EM part needed

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that nylon ring exists to prevent metal-on-metal contact between the metal plunger and the metal sleeve inside the coil. If you just replaced the metal coil sleeve with a nylon coil sleeve, it would make that part redundant. That assumes the...

    Pinball Life Order Toronto (Pingulp)

    I'll also pile on with criticism for the collapsible Pingulps. Flimsy. And anything other than a standard size beer will end up broken on the floor...any nudging at all will jar the drink out of the holder.

    WTB Gottlieb Cleopatra

    Putting the feelers out there for a Cleopatra, perferably the SS version. Projects welcomed.

    Titles????!

    Use the Karate Grading System. Black Belt, Brown Belt, Purple Belt, etc. Bonus if we can add coded strips of colour under our avatars that agree with our belt ranking. I've always wanted to be a third-degree black belt in something...

    Do you have a dream custom pin?

    I'll keep things realistic here. (As much as I'd kill for a Frank Zappa-themed machine I know it will never happen.) Thus, a couple of more do-able choices for me would be: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a "classic" WWF machine featuring wrestlers from the 80s and early 90s, or a sequel to...
