Damn, I'm cheap as I only charge $50/hr. 8-) (although house calls are a $100 min for the first hour to cover travel) D

I might have a decent used one somewhere. LMK if you're looking for new or used. (I'm not willing to part with either of the two new ones I have sitting in their boxes though, sorry) D

Good thing my cell# is unlisted, or I could get flooded with texts for tech help. Hmmm... maybe a 1-900 number is in order? :lol: D

Has it been spliced or just plugged into? All games from that era (vid and pin) required a separate isolation transformer from Ontario Hydro before being legal on location. Most of them had a socket built into the transformer so no splicing was required but maybe yours was? If you're sure...

This may be a home brew game, but it certainly looks better than any home brew... Sure it may not be on the level of RAZA or MG, but I never expected that from Skit-B and given the price of the game nobody else should either. What I do see are some pretty cool gameplay features, with what...

As much as I enjoy playing these games, fixing them is just as fun for me... it's a sickness! I appreciate all the nice comments, I'm just happy that I'm able to provide this service to others that appreciate it. The one thing that I've found is very difficult to teach is the logic behind...

Yep, Drano did the CC and touchup job on his own. Wish I had the talent to do that on my own... D

Re: MCMElectronics - Tenma 60W Digital Soldering Station on Tips are key. You shouldn't be using the same tip for soldering wires and coils as you do for PCB repair. And the most important part is practice! Just because you have an ok iron doesn't mean squat if you don't know how to use it...

I'm wondering if DM was picked simply because it's the game the programmer owned, and used this game to "cut his teeth on" so to speak? While I can see your point that there are other games that would benefit greatly from a re-rwite over DM, it could simply be a matter of what game the guy had...

Love Farfalla... especially the couple on the bridge on the PF! LOL D

To say it's common wouldn't be correct but a number of home roms do exist for various titles. All of these have been compiled by ex WMS/Bally programmers on their own time, as they had/have access to the source along with the compilers. (with a few exceptions like the DM swear roms, as this was...

Agreed. I've always considered John's games works of art more than anything... CV and TOTAN are just stunning examples of this if you ask me. (which is one of the reasons I own both, and one of the reasons I wish I had deep pockets to buy into RAZA and MG as I find his games are all about the...

10% mortgage rates... *shudder* We think things are bad now, if/when that happens it'll be an absolute nightmare. D

I played ncis135 getaway after rebuilding all the flippers and had a blast test playing it.

Re: Digikey the fastest service on earth? I have worked in the Electronics industry for over 20 years, and this is digikey's specialty. They have always been very quick with shipping to anywhere in North America. The downside is you do pay a premium for this service as the components tend to be...

Yikes... Bad move on their part. D

Thats PINBALL baby! :lol: D

Ok, looking at the photo in the flyer I cannot help but notice the "silhouette" of the game under the rug... Is it me, or does the backbox on this thing fit the profile of a P2K cab? (look at the backbox shape, and how the top side edge seems to curve slightly like the P2K head) Just...

You can use any flipper return or drop target spring for this, so don't limit yourself to just a "Stern". D
