    Allentown... who's going and what are you looking for?

    I'm in. Last year I went down with the wife and baby for Saturday only, so I didn't get the full experience of hanging out with "the gang". Looking forward to meeting and drinking with fellow Canadian collectors on foreign soil. I've got a room booked at the Comfort Suites at the Pinfest...

    MMR setup at Texas Pinball Festival (gameplay video too)

    Looks like this project is setting itself up for success. They should have had the remake sitting next to an original so buyers and potential buyers could feel the similarities/differences between the two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TNT Amusements on Ebay: NOS BK2K Playfields

    Final costs: $940 for the lower and $542 for the upper. No bids rolled between the time I posted here and the auction closed. CPR seeing dollar signs? I'd like to find a CFTBL and a TAF playfield...reruns not NOS...but I feel that I'm not the only one that have those on their wish list...

    I bought a house!! (Building a game room)

    Hiring movers was the best money we ever spent. It was a friend of the family that moved us. He took one look at the pins and said: "At least they're not Crusin' USAs". Turns out he moved a pretty intense vid collection a few years back. For the pins, they didn't use dollys, carrier straps...

    TNT Amusements on Ebay: NOS BK2K Playfields

    He's certainly a character. In addition to his game "review" videos (I use the term "review" loosely), Mr. Tuckey's been roughly editing together a "reality show" called All American Arcade (available on YouTube)...and there have been a few references to having an agent try to sell the idea to...

    TNT Amusements on Ebay: NOS BK2K Playfields

    Just something interesting to follow...Todd Tuckey at TNT Amusements in Southampton, PA has an eBay auction for NOS Black Knight 2000 upper and lower playfields. Smarty pants listed them in separate auctions to maximize profits. As of writing, lower PF sits at $940US and upper for $540USD...

    Pinball Dedicated Podcasts

    Kind of lame. We sit around and listen to Nate's girlfriend fill out the Pinball Podcast's March Madness bracket. Spoiler alert...she has AFM win it all. COAST2COAST PINBALL - Episode 70 - "Theresa Bracket Madness or To Don and Jeff With Love" Post with streaming...

    It's MARCH MADNESS TIME at the Pinball Podcast! Get your pinball brackets in and get your round one votes in so your favorite machine will come out on top! With TZ and MM already retired as past champs, the door is wide open for a new machine to take the crown. I'm predicting an AFM-ACDC...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Looks like my WH20 is fixed...for the moment. Upon reseating the connector, the voltage at pin32 rose drastically. Upon switching out the IDC connector, it evened voltage between the TP and pin32 almost completely. tim.sanderson "play tested" the game for me with no issues. Since its a WPC...

    SOLD Data East WWF Royal Rumble Original translite

    Re: Data East WWF Royal Rumble Original translite I would bet dollars to donuts that it was replaced with the prototype translite that is now available on Pinside... Good idea too...more wrestlers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom Signed Apron Cards

    Its a bit of a repeat (or encore), but I got a signed Pat Lawlor card for my TAF today in the mail. Same inscription as he put on the FH one which is a bit of a bummer but beggars can't be choosers. I'm waiting on one from Python Anghelo, but given his health situation, I'm not in a rush to...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    As much as I love quick solutions...can't mend a fractured elbow with a Band-Aid. :lol: Did some poking around before heading into work. "Good" news, I think. I have acceptable voltage at TP2 but a big drop in voltage from this TP to PIN32 of the rom. So from what I'm reading, and feel...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I have obviously angered the pin gods. White Water is now by far the least played machine in my collection. I've fired it up exactly once since its been set up in the new basement. Last night I decided to give the game a go, but after fifteen minutes I got a random reset during gameplay...

    Awesome Pinball Trophy "Brown Water"

    Got wind of this through the guys at the Pinball Podcast a month or so ago...the Pittsburgh Pinball League's last place trophy. Great Idea...build a hideous and offensive "trophy" that the last place finisher *must* keep in his/her game room for the entire year. Hilarious...fantastic art on...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Lit up my swamp. Added a socket with a single green LED to light up my TAF swamp with a subtle soft green glow. One definitely does not need to buy an eBay "kit" to do this. Looks like a million bucks. Gave the game a general tune up...fixed a lazy upper flipper and the sort. It needs a...

    Top 5 Rock Influenced Pinball Machines

    The Kiss art package is bad ass. However the game is clunky and it's just sad to hear the stilted, electro-chime version of "Rock and Roll All Night" at startup. Would love to have one of these in my basement as eye candy but the price kills the deal as it wouldn't get played much. It was an...
