    Pricing Check on 51 Williams Hayburners

    I would put 'Horsey Games" in the same or similar category to pitch and bat machines. Generally speaking, the more animation and features there are, the more valuable it is. However, the market for these is pretty small. I've always wanted a Williams NAGS, but those are few and far between and...

    Dr@No's fun filled (and often long-winded) restorations

    The last few days have been pretty boring and I'm jumping back and forth between projects. Nothing very exciting to report on Firepower. Just a lot of wiring. But, as promised, here are a lot more photos showing all of the connections I mentioned in the write-ups above. First, let's look at...

    Anyone Use a Depot for Pick-up in Niagara Falls, NY?

    A man after my own heart (attack) ;) I usually get a large Godfather and add double american cheese + bacon. Don't forget the special sub sauce! It's a killer combo Luckily, for everyone else on this thread, you don't have to go to Rochester any longer for DiBellas. They have locations all...

    Dr@No's fun filled (and often long-winded) restorations

    I also thought the Column 3 (GRN/ORG) wiring to the drop target banks might be confusing for some, so I created this image to explain in more detail. This photo is taken directly from the guide, so it doesn't look exactly like mine. It shows the back of the '1-3' Drop Target Bank. The...

    'hangs head in shame' :( Maybe I can redeem myself... Lots of wiring happening now on the Firepower drop target project! As I mentioned before, the guides that I linked at the start of this project do a pretty good job of explaining things... except when it gets to step 10 and you need to...

    Anyone Use a Depot for Pick-up in Niagara Falls, NY?

    You can make a stop at the Strong National Museum of Play if you go to Rochester. And don't forget the make a stop in at DiBella's subs before coming home. You're welcome ;)

    Yes! regular old foil. Although, I suppose that the heavy duty stff might be even more effective? That's unusual. I'm assuming your legs are chrome and there's no actual pitting in the rusted areas? This technique works on light surface rust and spots, but it won't do much for deep damaged...

    Anyone Use a Depot for Pick-up in Niagara Falls, NY?

    When I got a game from the Phoenix AZ region I hired a trucking company and they had their own depot and were able to hold it for me there at no extra charge (as long as I didn't leave there for weeks). In this case, the trucking firm had a depot closer to Rochester. It was a little longer of a...

    Yup. Less than half the cost of a repro from CPR and no need to depopulate the underside. But, they have their drawbacks too. For games that aren't grails or where no other option exists, I think it's great. I also picked one up for Taxi to do later

    Dr@No's fun filled (and often long-winded) restorations

    FIREPOWER - Prototype Drop Target Mod Last night I started soldering the wires over to the new parts. The drop target bank is pretty easy and it's just a matter of moving the common wire from the stand-up targets to a single point on the back of the DT bank. My drop target bank already had the...

    FIREPOWER - Prototype Drop Target Mod I installed the drop target mechs and switches last night and began running some of the new wiring. The fit looks great so far.

    FIREPOWER - Prototype Drop Target Mod This thread has been dormant for almost a year Maybe it's time to add a little content. Hopefully some of you Firepower fans out there will find this useful. I picked up a decent players FP in a 3-game lot from PBREV member Completist earlier this year...

    [FOUND] an ATARI SUPER SPRINT

    Hey Everyone, I sold my Super Sprint a little while ago in a moment of weakness :( I've recently been rethinking my home collection and would really like to get back a nice example of this vid from my childhood. If anyone has an SS or is aware of one that could be had, please let me know. I'm...

    SOLD Rare 1980 Stern NINE BALL

    Hey Guys, I had this game listed with a bunch of others in my recent FS thread, but I figured it deserved it's own thread and details. Not a machine that you see very often (just a little over 2200 units made) and it has a great set of rules. Far more interesting than an Eight Ball Deluxe and a...

    Bally Board Repair

    There used to be someone out in Quebec but I've heard he's 'retired'... or at least taking a break. If you post the question on maaca you might get a reply. I don't think he's on this forum. Any of the usual local techs can probably help as well... although they don't bill themselves strictly...
