    Freight Companies for Pinball

    US to Canada is a WHOLE other story... in short it ain't cheap! All of the examples given were all shipped within Canada, so no customs to deal with. If you are going to try shipping a game from the US, I highly recommend you ship using Forward Air but this requires the seller to deliver the...

    Freight Companies for Pinball

    As Bob has stated, within Canada Sameday is great and somewhat affordable. If you're dealing with someone out on the east coast you can also use Maritime-Ontario for freight as well. I have used both carriers with good results. Whomever you use, make sure the game is on a pallet, wrapped...

    STTNG problems

    If the connector in your STTNG is in fact bad, you should also replace the header for it on the driver PCB as the plating on it is likely tarnished and will cause issues with the new connector (higher resistance creating more heat and runing the new connector) D

    #15 Twilight Zone w/ Lots of Issues

    Now I'm not going to get into how to use a logic probe because it's WAY too involved, and the information you gather using the probe will depend on what IC's you're probing etc. The really short version of this story is I managed to figure out that some of the data being sent to the new IC I had...

    #15 Twilight Zone w/ Lots of Issues

    So I pulled the driver PCB just to give it a good visual front and back, and came across this.... This is a blown out trace on the A/C input connector for the 12V power supply section. It would appear at some point in this game's life there was enough of a current draw to destroy this trace...

    #15 Twilight Zone w/ Lots of Issues

    The latest installment to my repair journey had me flexing my troubleshooting skills to the max. One of my clients contacted me months ago about issues with his TZ. Turns out his display was showing nothing but garbage after swapping in a ColorDMD. On top of that, the game was doing a bunch of...

    Have you tried BG Resto, or are you looking for an original? D

    STTNG problems

    If you replaced the bridge and cap, grab the schematics and ring out every trace from the input AC connector on the right side of the PCB through to the MPU power connector on the left side of the driver. You can test it in your TAF no problem, but the AC input usually isn't the issue. My...

    Budget Pinball Machines

    Play it before you think of buying... I have never heard great things about it, but that doesnt' mean you won't like it. D

    CPR Playfield Impact on Price?

    I don't think Bob is asking a question about the value of a game with or without a repro PF installed or an original that has been cleared. I think he's asking do games that do not have repro PF's available suffer a lower market value than those games that do have repro PF's available? So...

    CPR Playfield Impact on Price?

    I think the question Bob is asking is for games without a repro PF available at all, do you find the overall market value of these games less than their brethren with repro PF's available? D

    Budget Pinball Machines

    I have personally fallen in love with Space Shuttle after working on a friends restored example. Simple to understand but man that game can kick your ass! D

    Budget Pinball Machines

    With a 2K budget you should be able to find something in players condition that fits your criteria. Regarding what titles to look out for, that is a VERY subjective question and only one that you can answer. What one person really likes you my absolutely hate! I think finding a reasonable...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    It shoots beautifully, the ruleset is good (if you get the home ROM you can fix the bonus issue from ball to ball) and is just a ton of fun to play. Couple all that with a nice art package and low productoin numbers and you get an idea as to why this game commands the money it does. (not to...

    LOL, and 4 of those (maybe it was only 3?) would have been one of the many I managed to locate and pass along. :)

    Pinball Filmography

    Who could forget the classic Pinball Summer! (that was the original title, and for some reason it was re-named to "Pick-up Summer") http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082902/
