    Original Playfields vs Reproductions?

    One thing to consider with NOS original PF's that do pop up... there's usually a reason the PF never got installed in a game. Sure there was usually extra PF's run at the time of MFG but a number of the NOS PF's that have been sold over the years were actually rejects at the time the game was...

    CENTAUR: help with Multiball / magnet problem

    I totally agree with you regarding the machine rewarding you for paying attention to them. I've had some monster games right after repairing many a game... Glad you got it all sorted. D

    Looks like the newest Stern pin is...

    While I'm not a huge wrestling "mark" anymore, from what I see this isn't all that bad. I actually don't mind the layout at this point, but playing it will obviously be the only way to pass judgement. Looking at the vid, I will say I cannot stand how the lower flippers are active while the...

    Strangely enough, I enjoy Muscle Man saying something similar... D

    The THANKS-giving thread

    I think I bought a box of 20 holders from Happ a couple years ago when they had a decent sale going. Then I had the same pingulp mounts made up and e-coated. Tap the holes for the type of screw you want to use, and assemble. Maybe I'll add a thread to my section to show how I did mine. D

    What should I have on hand for my pins?

    Now would be a great time for anyone that needs a good quality DMM to jump on the Fluke 115 deal at MCM. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/105-655?utm_campaign=MyBuys&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Email Another item that you should have on hand for each pin is a good manual with schematics...

    More sensitive tilt

    There are always multiple solutions to problems, so I would agree with you that there is likely something else that would work. The question I pose is do we need to really re-invent the wheel here? By changing the tilt mech to something else will likely not solve the problem Adam is having...

    More sensitive tilt

    You specifically asked about omni-directional mercury switches. The one you posted is non-mercury, and from what I can see it needs to be installed on a perfectly horizontal surface to work as the angle of operation is 11º above horizontal typical actuation, 6º above horizontal typical return...

    More sensitive tilt

    The problem with a mercury switch is it's only uni-directional... Adam needs something omni-directional. D

    LOTR LE Shaker Motor install snag

    Just saw this now and was going to say the connector you're looking for is in the lower cab not the back box. Glad you got it sorted. How do you like the shaker? D

    Predator Pinball artwork

    If Kevin spent all his time giving everyone up to the second info and pics of everything happening with production at this point we wouldn't even be this far along in the process... I just cannot for the life of me understand why everyone seems so up in arms about the lack of communication with...

    Predator Pinball artwork

    Excellent. Coming from a Mfg background this is exactly where I figured they were in the process, especially given it's pretty much been just him doing it all on his own. Kevin has stated he'll be sending out bi-weekly updates and if he's able to stick to that fantastic, but I'd be more than...

    Have you tried calling Stern directly about it? Be interesting to see what they have to say... D
