    If anyone wants to hear me ramble on about my arcade project...

    That's pretty cool! I wonder why all these municipalities instated these anti-arcade bylaws in the first place? I guess they weren't very well liked back in the day. 30-50 pins is gonna make a helluva ruckus though! Not sure anyone is going to want to sit and read a book and drink a latte...

    If anyone wants to hear me ramble on about my arcade project...

    We're only recently starting to see a few of these types of spaces crop up in Toronto. Are the zoning laws out west any easier to deal with?

    Thanks Rob. Looks like a good value and verstile gun for sure. Might have to get one to play around with at home. I already have the compressor setup so the hard part is done. Love the multiple nozzles too. Until now I've only been using HVLP (at work) for clearcoat... which is fine because you...

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

    So true. At the end of the day it's just a machine... and not a very desirable one at that. And let's face it, this is just a drop target... not an entirely new proto design. But there's still something special about being the first couple of guys in nearly 30 years (and likely the first outside...

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

    30 years in the making!!! This is just a test ROM. Still needs a few fixes and polishing... but it was awesome to get this working... and so soon!

    Don't worry Rascal. Although it may not seem that way, I suspect both Dan and I are having more fun here than most people would assume from the written word. I can't speak for him of course. RSSS did get sort of caught in the middle here so that's not cool and I guess that could've been handled...

    Fine Dan, I agree and have already apologized for my part in the rsss comments. Others can speak for themselves. I personally think it has always been more a question of manners and etiquette rather than price policing, but maybe I am wrong and we are all a bunch of bullies. I don't believe...

    For the record Dan... when these stories have surfaced in my presence (in private), my first reaction was to ask "Did he offer you the game or did you try and pry it from him". I know this is a very important distinction because, if you are approached to sell a game that you hadn't really...

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

    So these are for a real bonafide arcade?? I must have missed that post. Cool

    spiroagnew's Six Million Dollar Project

    Nice tips Rob! Can you post any details on the LVLP gun? That and the waterborne paints sound like a great option for home use. I'm assuming there isn't a lot of over spray and "bounce" with a low pressure setup? Was it clean enough to do in the garage or is this still an outdoors endeavor...

    I just sold that EK to a local friend that wanted it for what I have into it... and have told the interested parties that PMd me on Pinside that it's gone. Maybe I should update that. I do like to bring a game to the show as it gets me in early and for free. And of course I have sold in USD for...

    Quite the contrary Dan. I've heard you are very active in the community and I've only heard good things about you and your games... with the exception that you sell high and like to stir the pot ;) But, even then, people are generally happy to pay your price because they know you and what you...

    I think some mods certainly retain value. People pay big money for PDI glass and can always remove it for another game. LEDs and pinball side art... not so much

    I completely agree. I don't know you. You may be a very nice person and very honest and your games are probably amazing. You can see that Dan is getting some heat on this thread as well and, anyone that knows Dan will tell you that he is a good guy and fair and that his machines are so nice...

    THIS RIGHT HERE I don't know this guy. I don't know his work. I don't know anything about him. You have nailed it on the head. At the best of times a forum is a community of friends and like-minded individuals that should come together to discuss and enjoy their particular interest and...

    Also, I apologize to the OP for my earlier statement in this thread. I was uninformed and it has been corrected

    I've been guilty of posting what I thought were "overpriced" machines. Often games that I also put a lot of money into. I know Dan really feels that there is some double standard here... but how many members are there here on this forum? Even if my handful of "buddies" gave me a pass, how come...

    Welcome man! Did you ever get anywhere with that pic you were hunting in Ontario?
