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

    Sorry buddy. They no longer make it.. at least not the same formula that burns your nostrils and makes your hands dry up like king Tut. They've ruined a good thing. It probably causes all sorts of genetic mutations or something. I may have a healthy green glow next time you see me :D

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

    I got a lot accomplished over the weekend. In addition to getting the ground mods complete on my Genesis, I managed to knock out most of the major issues with the Stern BIG GAME. I gave it a great clean using the usual nasty stuff (melamine foam with Bleche Wite + CP100). The swirls and dirt...

    HOUDINI or JPOP, who's the real escape artist?

    Very impressed with Houdini based on what I've heard and how short their production clock was. Still, can't help but feel the whole thing is just icky by mere association with JPOP. Wonder why they even needed to team up with him if they didn't use his services... Maybe I'm missing something or...

    Dude! That's awesome! Congrats.

    SOLD Premiere (Gottlieb) GENESIS

    Bump. Just completed the ground mods (head and cabinet). Game must go to make space. Open to reasonable offers.

    I will be at PFC at Adam's if you need playfield glass

    Yay! Can't wait. My Big Game glass looks like it lived in a house full of cats.

    [FOUND] Where are all the Sega GODZILLA at?

    I don't think I'd be opposed to spending upwards of $4K CAD on one if it was decent. But $4700 at a retailer plus tax is $5300 (not sure what BC tax is like but just using 13% HST as an example) and then shipping across Canada has got to be at minimum $400. So, let's be practical. Yes, it's a...

    [FOUND] Where are all the Sega GODZILLA at?

    Yeah, I'd like to avoid paying 'retail' and shipping cross country. I'll just have to be patient.

    [FOUND] Where are all the Sega GODZILLA at?

    This is really NOT a WTB thread.... well, it sort of is, but not an immediate or pressing one. I've slowly and steadily made my way through a lot of machines. I've certainly ticked off most games on my wish list over the years. Just in the last couple of months I think I've 'killed' another 5...

    Wiring in the head

    Not a fan of OpHacks :( Like Mike Holmes says... make it right! You will sleep better.

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

    I really should post in here more. Been working on a few projects. Still plugging away at Batman. I got the Fan-Tas-Tic playfield modified on the CNC recently and am in the process of sorting through the parts that will go back on... as well as figuring out solutions for the new and custom...

    SOLD Premiere (Gottlieb) GENESIS

    Game is still available. A few tire kickers but no serious offers yet. One person did point out that the machine didn't have any of the ground mods done. To be honest, in my inexperience I didn't realize that the 80B still needed additional grounding. I assumed it was just the original system...

    The THANKS-giving thread

    I have to give a shout out to my buddy Cooke without whom I never would've managed to score a very reasonable and decent condition Big Game recently. The same goes out to Jason for helping me track down another classic Bally grail in his neck of the woods. And last but not least, thanks to Che...

    SOLD Premiere (Gottlieb) GENESIS

    Selling Genesis. Had my fun, need to make room. This example is in really great shape. Here's a short list of what's been done to it. -Full clean-up and top shop of playfield -New rubbers and posts -4 pop bumpers taken apart and new metal rings installed to replace broken and worn originals...

    Comet Pinball gets a Thumbs Up!

    The Op-Max is awesome but I reserve that for special games only. The frosted retros are really great too and far more accessible... especially in bulk.

    My TAF playfield swap and full cabinet resto

    Not really. Playfield swaps have become fairly straightforward. I just haven't done a DMD since my White Water more than 4 or 5 years ago! I've been way to engrossed with EMs and early SS games. At least I will be VERY practiced by the time I settle down to do TAF.

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    What would be the point? I don't need a 3'x5' paperweight. It's takes up less space in the box.

    My TAF playfield swap and full cabinet resto

    Happy to see TAF getting some love. It was my first game and I have amassed everything I need to do a kickass restore (including a Ron Kruzman playfield) and yet I keep ignoring this game in favour of working on other projects. Maybe I'm just subconsciously waiting until I have the time to offer...
