Just a little update: I had a problem with my MPU. I wasn't able to diagnose it myself, so I sent it out to Bruno (aka Mindstorm88) in Quebec. Apparently he's the guy to send Sys80 boards to. He messaged me last night that it was ready, so now I just wait for it to make it's way back to me...

If they didn't they did a very good job of sounding just like them. Unless maybe they pulled the audio from the show?

Done. Anytime before Allentown works for me.

I can attest to the fact that this game is in beautiful condition.

That's like, one of the greatest sentences I've ever read.

Good job!

I totally recommend you save your pennies for the next 395 days and splurge on a flight out Allentown next year. So worth it.

accommodations taken care of!

how does all the alphaghetti you could eat sound?

I figured out why I wasn't getting a 10K bonus when collecting the special... I wasn't supposed to. There's a Jones plug in the head that lets you change between three different variations of two different ways to play. I had it set on the top option: Spacelab Special awarded a credit. (silly...

Yup. I had a couple of issues with the score reels yesterday, too. The '10 - 90 reel's coil was very often getting stuck on. It was getting quite hot, quite fast. I pulled them all out and gave the switches a good cleaning. It's seemed to solve the sticking problem, as well as the backwards...

Ha, right? I'd almost consider that if the weather was better. :P There's an extra room reserved at the Holiday Inn that I can claim, but I have to let the person who's holding it know asap. I think it's around $90+tax. I'm asuming that's in USD, so that'll make for a pricey solo room.

Recently, I've noticed that the game doesn't actually score the bonuses that the playfield inserts indicate. On top of that, the scoring seems to be quite random. At the start of each ball, both the S and P are lit up. (I think I read that there is a 'liberal' and 'conservative' setting. It is...

Hi all. I'm driving down to Allentown this year. I have shotgun available in my car if anyone needs a ride. Also, I haven't booked accommodations yet. If someone's got a room they'd like to share, or wants to find someone to split a place with, let me know. I'll get a place on my own if I...

No problem, dude. : ) I posted it in my SKYLAB thread, but I'll post it here, too: Thanks to Drano for coming over to get SKYLAB up and running again!

Rolled Skylab twice. Put up a 245,140. Technically it's 20,000 higher... I've just noticed my 10,000 rocket bonus doesn't seem to be adding itself when acquired, and I scored two this game The game only seems to keep track of the first roll over, so it's kinda on the honor system. ;)

Well, after a visit from Drano, Skylab is up and running again! The problem with the S-K-Y-L-A-B relays may have been caused by me accidentally. I think I have unintentionally widened the gap on all the switches in the S-K-Y-L-A-B relay assembly when I was doing something else. Lesson learned...

I see what you did there. :P

I dislike PayPal, so I have no account. :( (I much prefer paying via credit card) If one of you fellas would be kind enough to PayPal the payment for me, I'll EMT you the amount right away.
