    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I received some new springs for my High Speed from Playdium. I love the fast UPS shipping. (especially when it's within the country and no brokerage...) I had a spare flipper spring but had put in the the kickback mech as it was really weak. When the top right flipper spring broke on the weekend...

    I had the maintenance guys at work cut me a new clear piece for my Atlantis for the drop target bank. I only had to countersink the holes due to the thickness. free is free after all. The maintenance department calls this 'government work'....

    WTB: Alien Poker

    FYI It's been over a month and still no reply from ToPEC. (I have sent reminder e-mails) Is it just me? Maybe a in person visit is required? Maybe they have to see the cash?

    wtb: Gravitar, Robotron, Berzerk

    I was working on a machine a few weeks back and the owner had a mame/multicade with a bunch of games 4000+ (mame, atari2600, sega saturn, etc) So I asked if he would load up robotron.... Looks as if whomever configured his mame didn't realize robotron is a 2 stick game and it didn't play at all...

    Where to find proper springs

    I recently did some work on my High speed kickback assembly. I figured what the heck, why not just get a rebuild kit like a flipper kit. Seems that I can get the coil, switch and the plunger.. But the proper spring..... no dice (at least by PBR) I swapped out the weak looking spring with a spare...

    Allied Leisure Rock On

    I was checking a persons EM on the weekend and he had a Allied Leisure Rock On. Thank god it was working as I hear they are very hard to get parts for. I have not seen too many non major label machines. Too bad they couldn't have got better licensing as I did see a fake Jimmie Walker...

    Working on a G High Hand

    A friend of my brother-in-law has a High Hand that I took a look at on the weekend. WOW, it sure isn't my old Bally Wizard but I figured how different can a Gottleib EM be... Anyways, I open up the machine and right away I spot some plastic coated wire spliced in at the back on one of the...

    RIP AC/DC? :( NOT SO FAST!!

    Re: RIP AC/DC? :( So if they don't end up getting back together does that make the value of an AC/DC machine go down? It can't be between the Stones and Metallica anymore, just move it over there in the corner next to Elvis....

    WTB: Alien Poker

    I am looking for a nice 8+ original Alien Poker. Much like the one listed in December on kijijii I would also consider a modded multi-ball version (that may be more played because who's gonna try modding a nice PF) if someone out there has one for sale. I am currently awaiting a quote from ToPEC...

    Anyone played a modded Alien Poker ???

    I recently freed up some space and I am in the market for a Alien Poker. I do recall there was a really nice one on Kijijii around x-mas and I am looking for either a really nice 8+ original machine or a lesser machine with the multi-ball mod I have seen online installed. I know that ToPEC has...

    Machine value: Alien Poker

    I know I saw at least 2 in storage at a local pinball seller. I would prefer a really nice one that is original. BUT if the machine is not great the multi ball mod would at least provide a machine that is at least unique until CPR (or someone like them) releases new playfields, etc. Still, the...
