I feel kinda bad that I haven't been updating this thread. This Summer was the worst on record for work (real work ;) ) I did have a lot of pinball action though. Scared Stiff has been put on hold for a little while but I have started to prepare for a large batch of playfields that need some...

What the USC does very well is bring dirt to the surface. But sometimes it still sits on the part. After your first pass make sure to rinse the parts under fresh water and hand dry with a microfiber cloth. If they're not clean after that, you may try another pass. I usually default to a 15 min...

Funny enough, I did set the board on my leg upright and used the 'gun' in a horizontal position. Maybe that's why it worked so well ;)

Yeah. The Hakko 808 that Mike mentions in his opening post is the top of the line... But also north of $500 I think. This was under $150 landed.

Got mine this morning as well and decided to give it a run for its money. None of this desoldering capacitors business. I wanted to see how it worked on a small IC with a whack of itty bitty legs. Here's a pic of a trashed board and a 24pin IC I just took off in about a minute. The key...

Got mine a few weeks ago. It looks awesome. I think they could've gone with a little more clearcoat, but I'm pretty stoked

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the interest. All lots are spoken for pending payment/pickup. If anything changes I will post an update and contact anyone who has sent me a PM.

TZ lot is spoken for

Hey all, Just to reiterate... I am NOT looking to sell these parts individually. This stuff needs to go. Hopefully these are priced fairly so that, if you don't need everything, you're not paying anywhere close to market value for the lot. Thanks

Hey Everyone, I've got a bunch of parts for games I no longer own. Some new, some used. I'm finally cleaning up a little and decided to group these into 3 lots by game. I am not selling the parts individually. I will post a price that I think is fair for each lot... if they haven't sold in a...

Thanks for making these man! Banzai was just too naked. Lots like V3 is the winner for me!

Sweet! Thanks man! These look great Banzai!!! ;)))

That's exactly what I said to Mike. Anyone can remove a few big'ol caps pretty easily. On the other hand, the constant suction has still got to be better than using the typical pump style sucker. And, at this price, totally palatable for the average hobbyist. I don't need to spend $500+ on a...

I bought the inexpensive Tenma heated desoldering pump ages ago and haven't had any complaints. The mouth is larger than you would expect, but that's probably why the suction isn't such a big deal. I've pulled ICs with 20+ legs off a donor board in a couple of minutes and they were removed clean...

Damn... mine is getting torn apart soon too. I was hoping you'd be helping me :D

Bob, I have a family function tonight but am free tomorrow if you can't get help sooner. I could've helped yesterday but didn't see this. You have my number right? o_O

Machine has been traded. Meteor acquired Thanks

Thin layers of bondo for sure plus some thicker build-ups to rebuild any rounded or chipped corners. Make sure to have nice true sanding blocks at various grits. Sand the whole thing again and then prime once you're happy. The first primer layer will invariably reveal even more small flaws...

1) If you had a Pantone colour chip book you could match the colours and bring the chips to a store. I'd recommend Curry's Art supplies. JP has a very warm red. The store won't have THAT many options so you'll just ave to pick the closest one. If you're re-painting anyway, an exact match isn't...

BR is hard to price. Brock is certainly in the ballpark but I think this title can command that or even a bit more. It's also one of those titles that does extremely well in the US. They seem to go crazy for this pin south of the border. I sold a rough players example for $3700 USD and that was...
