171 days remaining Progress is slow, but this is my busy time of the year, kids are home from school and all that other good stuff. Well, the bottom of the cab looks GREAT! :) The other sides got a little sand and some patching to fill in any imperfections. I'm not going for a HEP level...

175 days remaining Just a small update. Got most of the guts removed. Still have to remove the side-rails but I'll give the inside a quick vacuum and a light sanding on the really dirty wood. I also have to dig around to see if there's existing art out there for these cabinet labels.

A friend refinished my old ones for me while he was doing his own.

Yeah... It's a cool machine. I did my best to clean it up but it was already very well looked after We'll probably enjoy it at the studio for a few more weeks and then rotate it out. It's very popular with the guys at work for sure :)

Can't wait until someone invents a machine to turn your game on and off :rolleyes: If you have chronic back problems I could see the appeal... Otherwise, it's not that hard to lift a playfield out with your hands.

177 days remaining I got a bit of a start on Star Gazer yesterday night. I've had this one the longest of the three so I've already gotten a fair head start on collecting parts. New rubber, coin door stickers, refurbished spinners, new targets and a full set of new repro plastics from PromoJoe...

Here comes the bride! Here's one I've wanted to take for a spin for a while. Warlock had a very decent example of BoP at the Bluffs Pinball League and I was ready to part with my newly refurbished FPII... so a deal was struck. I don't know how long the honeymoon will last, but I plan to show...

Sounds like the title of a B-movie, I know.... but I can assure you, it's really more of a love story. It's been roughly a year since I finally broke down and came out of the closet... I love classic Stern pins! It was a hard pill to swallow for a DMD and EM loving lad like myself who'd always...

You forgot Batman 66' VE There's been some rumor of BDK getting a facelift for the 50'th anniversary of the 1966 TV series.

It's a fun game with decent rules and a lot to shoot for. I haven't really gotten into it in depth but, from what I've experienced, it's a very decent and likely underrated Williams DMD.

Never say never. Switches, stops, sleeves and the nylon collars all wear out eventually.

Oh man... I was hoping to help here but I'm now as confused as you. I'm certain I used Steve's rebuild kits for mine. Bear in mind that many times a new part # is used as a substitute for another older number. Not sure if that's what's happening in here, but just be aware of that. Then, add...

I actually like the game in its original form and won't be performing any upgrade. Just want to enjoy it for what it is, play it for a month or two and then pass it along. I have to say I was also surprised at the current price point on this title to be honest. Luckily I was able to work it...

Fun game! I've been spoiled by Warlock's fine example but it's a title that has always been just on the outskirts of my radar. I've had a chance at a couple recently but neither one was the right deal.

Picking it up this week! :D I always had a BoP sized itch to scratch so I'm happy to finally be getting the chance. However, I don't suspect it'll be a keeper so, as Menace suggested, there may be one available in the GTA in the not so distant future. I'm gonna give it a quick shop and rebuild...

You did. It was a while back now but I swear I shot you a text or a PM saying I wasn't keeping it for much longer; maybe both. I didn't get a reply for some time if I recall correctly so I passed it along to a local friend. It's still in a safe place though :)

So nice... I want :(

Not so sure about that. QS was the game I knew the least amongst my four classic stern. Yeah, it's rare and it's punishing, but I think seawitch is currently ahead of it for me. In fact, I'd go Star Gazer, Meteor, Seawitch, Quicksilver in that order from a fun and playability POV. If I was...

Classic Stern seem pretty easy to get parts for. Not sure why, but it seems these and most classic Bally are very well supported in the repro parts market; right down to the boards and displays. It's probably their simplicity. If you're looking for something more modern, I think almost any 90s...

We'll... I did say it was quite a bit more challenging ;) It can be a very punishing game with that big open left drain.... which is why it's so critical to hit the Eight Ball target right away and light the kickback for ball save. As long as you do that and you know when to nudge, it...
