I guess once the novelty of having my own machine wears off I may move on to other more expensive games. However seeing as this is a 'what would I rather' question, for now I stick to believing I would rather have 3 'B's than just one 'almost A'. :)
Personally, I am having a ton of fun with my B list (C list?) R911 machine. I will be very happy to get another game of similar value.
To put it in simpler terms, I'd rather have three $1000 machines, than have one that was $3000.
My home brew sleeve fix held out for about 300 games or so, but gave in the other day. (http://www.multiball.org/2013/06/couple ... -dead.html)
I've ordered some new ones from PinballRes./Playdium, but until I get them, I thought I'd try to chef something up.
There's a video of how my first...
Thank you indeed!
I still think there should be a DONATE button somewhere on the site. I like to donate $10 or $20 every once in a while to sites that I find useful.
(and I definitely find this one to be very useful!) Maybe set up an EMT thingy users can drop a few bucks into now and then.

Yup, all of the ones on the trailer still had the heads on. I don't know if the guys who bought them removed them to get them into their houses, but they were on when we took them out of the trailer.
Thanks!
I figured I'd give the original hardware one last try before I ordered some new parts. I took out the TX and RX boards, removed then re-soldered in the LED's. Put it back together. Aaaand... It works again.
Yay!
Speaking of Walken, I found this MAKING OF THE CONTINENTAL skit.
The first one was funnier, but I couldn't find it on youtube.

I think the rec. LED is bad. When I test the emitter with DIODE mode, I get a reading. When I test this one, it doesn't give me any reading at all.
Is this an LED I can buy anywhere, or is it a specific part?
(also, is that even the right way to test an LED?)
OK, so if I am correct;
The emitter is the LED that I can see glowing when I look at it through my phone. (the LED itself has a little bit of colour to it when viewed by the naked eye)
The receiver is a clear LED. The one will not show up when viewed through the camera.
Is the emitter supposed...
Sorry I meant that the transmitter still works. (I can see it glowing with the phone trick) It still thinks there is a ball in between them. I think it's an alignment problem. I have a few hours before work to try and get it sorted out.

All I can tell you is those are heavy as hell! All of the P2000 machines in the last deal had their heads on... holy moly they weigh a ton.
