    Spooky Pinball announces Rob Zombie machine!

    Very cool indeed. I haven't heard much (if any) of his music since the 90's, but it definitely should make a cool pin.

    It's alive! There's still a lot to write about, but after a day of tinkering, this is all I feel like posting. More soon.

    Tim's Gottlieb Dragon thread

    It seems like the flickering solution offered by adding 470 ohm resistors does not work for my problem. I soldered in some resistors and I still get the same pulse as soon as I reach 10,000 bonus for the first time. maybe it actually happens with the incandescents too, it's just they are slower...

    Tim's Gottlieb Dragon thread

    It would seem that the flickering I've been reading about (and the flickering displayed in the Gamatron entry) is quite different from what I get with my bonus LED's. It's worth a try though, to see if that would solve the problem. I'll swing by Sayal tomorrow to see if I can get some 470 ohm...

    Tim's Gottlieb Dragon thread

    I've added LED's to the inserts and head of Dragon. I put LEDs into the head to help keep the heat of incandescents from flaking the backglass any more than it already is. I tried out some LED's in the inserts, and like how much brighter it made them. However, I believe I've encountered the...

    Tim's Gottlieb Dragon thread

    This game has no free-play mode. And, it only holds a maximum of 15 credits at a time. I can open up the door to add credits when it runs out, but I thought I'd come up with a more creative method. On my Rescue 911, I had added a momentary switch behind the coin return door thing. It worked...

    Here are the playcards I made up for the game. I have versions for both 5 and 3 ball modes, as well as replay/extra ball scores. I can upload PDF versions, if anyone wants printable versions of the cards.

    Tim's Gottlieb Dragon thread

    My buddy John and I put dragon through it's paces tonight. We played dozens of games , all without a hiccup. Not that it takes much to figure out the rules on a very-early solid state, but we figured out the values of all the shots. The vari-targets are pretty interesting shots. Early in the...

    Tim's Gottlieb Dragon thread

    This one isn't so much a project thread, as I bought this as a working game in Allentown. 1979's Gottlieb Dragon, on the System 1 platform. However, by the time it made the 700km journey back to Mississauga, the game had developed a power supply issue, keeping the displays from working. So...

    Heighway Pinball Production Update

    How great would those titles be? I think GB might actually be a bit better of a theme. Although the BTTF song is one of my favs from any moving...
