Welcome aboard, too, Mike!

It was great to see Scott and Josh out on Monday, and like Scott said, there are lots of new faces this season. TOPL is the reason that Monday is now my favorite day of the week. :)

You can see briefly Adam aka Moving Pictures in the vid. I haven't picked out anyone else yet.

But like Chris said, it's nice to have if you've got it, but definitely not a necessary part of the game.

I am almost positive it is a 12v bulb. And I did get the replacement from a car parts store. I forget the number, but I think it was a tail light bulb for a car.

Duh, my error. I meant to say FLASHER, not beacon. :oops:

**EDIT** I gotta read these messages better before posting!

Thanks guys. I'm gonna pack it up today. I hope to get it back for early/mid April. After a few months of dragging my feet on this game, I can't wait to play it!

Good to hear! Without the heli, the game is unplayable. W̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶b̶e̶a̶c̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶t̶?̶ ̶I̶f̶ ̶I̶ ̶r̶e̶m̶e̶m̶b̶e̶r̶ ̶c̶o̶r̶r̶e̶c̶t̶l̶y̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶1̶2̶v̶ ̶f̶l̶a̶s̶h̶e̶r̶s̶.̶ ̶(̶I̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶I̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶u̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶o̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶t̶s̶...

My Gottlieb Rock is at the point where all I need to get it playing is to have my MPU repaired. I'll likely be sending it out to Quebec. Does anyone who's shipped a board have advice on how I should pack it? Is overkill the best method? I'll definitely insure it for what a replacement Rotten...

What Sys11 do you have?

I've replaced all of my drop targets in both the centre and upper location. One of the red ones were missing the spring that keeps the target in the up position. So I brought home a throttle return spring from work. It's not quite as robust as the original springs, but it seems to do the job...

After my comment above, I will say that I do agree that it sucks how operators seem to keep their games in such shit shape. It's one thing if the game has had a problem for a few days, but it's total horse-shit when op's neglect their machines for months. Playdium at Square One is deplorable...

I agree with Kevin. I love finding games on location. There's a certain amount of charm that only comes with playing games in public, with people you don't know. Me and my buddy have driven to several provinces/states to play pinball, that's something I hope not to lose a love for any time...

So I've got the upper side of the PF back together (for the most part). Among other things, I still have to replace the lower/main flippers, change all the drop targets and make the plastic for the ADD A LETTER standups. I ran out of 5/16 rubber rings, so I'll have to replace 2 or three of...

However, I'm fairly sure the eos wouldnt take your flipper get stuck in the up position

Edit... I just saw you mentioned holding the button down

Hi Nick. You'll have a hard time finding a scan of the manual. Gottlieb is very strict about the copyright of their stuff. That being said, I may have scanned my manual, and I might be uploading it as I type this, so I may be able to send you a link sometime in the next hour or so. ;) As for...

Thanks for checking. :)

So after several months of using my ROCK as a workbench, I've decided it was time to work on it again. This is where I am at at the playfield clean up. Unfortunately, there are some very bad wear spots on the PF: Apparently Mike Hanley has a better looking PF in his collection, so there...
