Hey Guys, I feel like I'm having deja vu. Some of you may recall I had a nice Williams HEAT WAVE a while back. I'd posted it here with some light paint touch-ups and a general refresh. I even managed to find a missing right side endcap for the lockbar. As most of you know these are about as...

Usually if there is variance it would be related to uneven wear on the kicker/vuk 'cup', a loose or misaligned bracket or a cracked well in the curved scoop. Having a weaker coil would certainly make the game more predictable and easier but I've gotten pretty good as pulsing the flipper really...

Hey Mitch, I've played more than a few WH2O and spent a lot of time restoring one from the ground up. I'm not sure that a coil change is the fix here. Can you explain what exactly is happening on your example? There is usually enough play in how the coil bracket/scoop are mounted that you could...

As funny as it sounds when I try to read this thread... the underlying truth still reveals itself quite clearly. If I can be so bold as to interpret Scott here, the "ripple effect" that has been prompted by this one simple game transaction a couple of years ago has had lasting effects and...

Don't sweat it Mike... you're not the only one confused. I actually found Abbott and Costello easier to follow. :picard: I simply try not to overthink it when Scott starts to pontificate... I usually assume it's just some form of self administered therapy he's working on :p Since he's the...

That's been my brand for years. No complaints. that Damn VID... always biting me :)

I generally prefer a stock look... but SS was the exception to the rule for me. It was begging to be done.

Looks stellar!

Thanks Tim! It's hardly an original idea but I'm happy with the result for sure

Wow! Never seen an AF-TOR for sale. Super rare!

I hope you REALLY like the machine ;)

So, the code for my proto HMM is still in progress. Still trying to sort out some bugs. In the meantime I decided to tackle a small project I've been wanting to do for a while. I always wondered how Scared Stiff would look with black rails and lockbar. If you know the artwork, the main cab...

Hmm mm. Last order huh? :( I have to admit I'm addicted to this stuff. I'm gonna be pretty sad. Just make sure you don't give away my 2 (two, dos, deux, 1+1) sheets this time Brock :cool: Thanks for the update!

Hey David.. I think Mitch may have it. EOS stand for End of Stroke. The flipper needs high power to make normal shot's around the playfield. However, sometimes you need to hold the flipper up to cradle the ball(s). If this operation was done also with high power your coil and circuit would burn...

Got some updated code last night. Should be able to test it by Friday night if all goes to plan!

I think cars are usually produced in ranges closer to 50,000-100,000+ units per year depending on the model... but the point is still valid. Pins haven't been produced in anywhere close to that volume since TAF at 20,000 units I think?

At least Gomez will feel at home

I found a reference in Billboard magazine from the 50's or something. Seems it was sold alongside Skee-Ball machines for about $65, possibly a competitor? That woodrail next to it looks cool. Wat else does this guy have? It's an early flipper machine by United. Here's a restored one from IPDB...

You'd be surprised what sort of requests Chris gets. He once did up a Rocky and Bullwinkle because the owner had some strange attachment to that title... and not so much to his money :) I kind of like Genesis actually (minus the crazy-ass translite of course)

That's the home version. I'm assuming it's not what he's after. It's a lot more basic and missing a lot of the features. Kind of like Bally's early form of a Zizzle... but better constructed.
