Thanks. I sold away my first Spin Out and couldn't resist this one since it was so inexpensive. I had missed the game. On the surface, it's almost too simple and wide open. In reality, it's punishing and, while collecting the numbers for a special is tempting, playing the rollovers for score is...

It's been a busy Summer so far, but still plugging away on a few projects. I currently have my Nine Ball playfield on the rotisserie getting a small touch-up and clean, but I recently finished up this nice Gottlieb SPIN OUT. I did all th playfield stuff and mechanism clean up and got it working...

Hey Guys, I need this small part (A-8831) Marcos stocks it but it's going to be over $60 by the time I have it shipped (a bit excessive for a $14 part!). I'd rather wait for my next big order. I'm just wrapping up a GTB Spin Out project and the original plate is totally rusted through. If...

I got this lower cab from an early classic Bally in a package deal and don't need it. Looks to be an early MPU AS-2518-35 game like KISS, Star Trek, Supersonic etc... Not as late as games like Centar or Fathom though... although, could be modified. It has wood slide rials instead of metal...

Summer is historically a slow time for pinball sales. I wouldn't read too much into it. As for those STTNG; maybe they just weren't priced correctly. Maybe that title isn't in particularly high demand at the moment... Who knows? Things will always fluctuate. I'm at a stage where I don't...

Cool piece of coin-op history. I'm sure you could contact Clay and he would be very interested in something this unique. The only isse is that he is not known for splashing out big $$$ on games... but you never know. If he's paying in USD then it may be more palatable for him. I'd even reach...

She's come a long way! Figuratively as well as literally. Simply a beautiful game. Good on you for saving it!

It's never bad to have back-up replacements... but usually that makes more sense when you have several games of the same system/type. I keep some Altek and Rottendog products in my stash for a rainy day as they cover a good chunk of my collection. I recently had reset issues on my Shadow and...

I would normally have suggested Bruno (mindstorm) but he seems to have taken a sabbatical from board work for a while. Bruno has been the go-to guy for remote board repair for many Canadian collectors for years. I know Sylvain is also a great tech.. but no idea if he accepts mail-in board...

Agreed! Dino had some glass custom cut for my Stern BIG GAME. it was pretty spectacular. Not sure where he's getting it, but it looked extra clear for some reason :)

If I was starting out now, a pinball machine would be a very big extravagance. On the same scale as maybe a sportscar or motorcycle. It wouldn't be something I would be buying a whole basement of. One... maybe two. I feel somewhat blessed that most modern pins being produced in the last few...

My original post was in jest of course... but there is an element of truth to it. I see a big shift in society with people wanting to simplify, purify and just generally get back to a way of life that is separate from the hi-tech disconnected world we find ourselves in today. Of course, this...

I have one word for you... HIPSTERS!!!

The LE also had shaker (either included or supported). When I did up my HUO standard LOTR I wanted to go for the full LE effect... minus 'hair-dick' of course. I even had Mike CHestnut brass plate me a set of thoe lollipop siderails. It was an interesting process to alter my boards and code to...

Beautiful!!! It looks like it's barely been played.

I'd bet that's the same for more than 90% of us here too. Different things have a way of bringing us back. Pinball, music etc... still as powerful and engaging today as they were back then. Hope you find a nice one.

Welocme to the forum! I have one of these. It's been folded up for a while at a friend's place awaiting a playfield swap and general overall restoration. I can't wait to get it into my lineup. Very fun machine and punishing if you're not careful. Im not sure why you don't see more of them pop...

The extension arm on the right is what I use. It fits into any drill and is really great for getting into tight spaces from far away; where my drill won't go. Removing screws around a drop target mech is a great example. PS. I use a very low powered lightweight drill for purposes of...

Nice! If you get a magnetic extension socket along with this set, you'd have a pretty sweet option for reaching into tight spots and having the ability to quickly change out heads on the fly without opening/closing your drill chuck all the time. I don't know about those klein "hollow shanks"...

Damn... That's nice! One day I'll have to line up all my Spiro-cabs in a nice little row and just stare at them for hours.
