    BSD play field wear

    You can try this. It's a half-measure at best, but it will help if you do it right. Use some masking/painter's tape to cover up the areas on either side of that chipped portion. Then fill with krazy glue gel and allow to harden overnight. Then block sand it with a tiny wooden block. You can...

    Tumbler media recommendations?

    I use the walnut lizard/pet bedding. No additives so no colour changes to the parts. Flitz is also added. Something like a bottle or half bottle the first time around and then a cap-full or two every once in a while to keep it going. Us a good ultrasonic cleaner or just wash your metal parts...

    Strange Science project...going to need a helping hand.

    My dream at one point was to have a whole series of these unloved 6803 beasts fully restored and shiny. Having all those Bally Midway logos running down the aisle in various colours was the visual I had in my head. It would've been an audacious salut to turd-polishing at it's finest. Alas, I...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Maybe for my Cactus Canyon... if I ever get around to finishing it

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Hopefully this will be the last "new machine" post for me for a while. I'm really looking forward to trimming down projects and hunkering down to work on (and enjoy) the stuff I've got. I actually bought this several weeks ago, but it came up from the US and was being held by a friend in...

    Strange Science project...going to need a helping hand.

    Man... that's looking sweet! Almost has me missing the old girl ;) Oh well, can't keep them all. Sweet work on touching up that front panel!

    WTB Pinball Resource ? Anyone ordering from them soon ?

    Starburst orders stuff from Steve regularly. Just get them to put it on their next order and use whatever you have on hand for now.

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

    This dude looks like he staged that entire room and even got himself all primped in order to flaunt his MG and record this whole series of useless videos. Do you really think he knows anything about how a pinball machine works?

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

    My favorite part of these stupid videos is about the 6:00 mark of the "underneath playfield" video where he says,"I'm glad this was inspected by L. Christmas" and then shows the decal. I've seen L. Christmas inspection decals on old Williams games from the 80s and 90s so, either JPOP dug up his...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    So, this week started off well. I decided to start to thin the herd a little. I have way too many games for my liking but, deciding what to let go is like cutting off a limb. I decided I had had enough time with my beautiful GTB Volley so I let that machine go to a friend. Not 24 hours later I...

    Shipping within Canada

    Sameday is just the company name. I think it's part of Day&Ross

    "Dialing In" your pin

    Dialing-in a game has to do with making small adjustments (usually on the playfield) to make it play better/smoother. This is more of a general maintenance question but, the one thing I'd be concerned with is introducing water to the back of a bg. If it's in really good shape and you're...

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

    This game was deemed unplayable back when Bill Brandes was taking the prototype around to try and see if he could get these made. Not sure what the real angle is here for American Pinball... but based on the huge disclaimers I've read stating that this is a Zidware machine and it was built 100%...

    PinSound - Creature from the Black Lagoon

    Pinsound... some new code... and this game will be AWESOME :p But seriously... all that quality music will really make this theme shine!

    Metropolis robot mod for Gottlieb GENESIS

    Thanks guys. It's a neat game. Doesn't hurt to beautify it a little I guess ;)

    Metropolis robot mod for Gottlieb GENESIS

    Hey guys, I thought I would share this fun and relatively easy little mod for my recently acquired Genesis. I am a big fan of the silent film Metropolis. It's no secret that designer John Trudeau was heavily influenced by this movie when creating the game. The playfield artwork is literally...
