    Volley Tilt Stuck On

    Thanks Luch, I'm just starting to get a sense of what everything does on an SS and then I bought an EM. I'm lost again, but I'll have a look tonight to see if I can figure out which switches they might be.

    Volley Tilt Stuck On

    So I put Volley together last night and played 3 games. There were a couple of issues but in general it was working ok. So I moved it back closer to the wall and since then the tilt is stuck on. I'm guessing this is just a stuck switch, but which one? I don't see one in the door, the standard...

    Thanks for the feedback, are there any other options? I could do nothing and I understand the game plays the same, but I don't want to leave Steffi Graf with this horrible case of acne:

    BPL - Bluffs Pinball League

    The place is really nice, great job to everyone that helped get it set up. The drive from Mississauga really does suck, nearly as bad as my playing. Ah well, it was a good night.

    VFW Michigan Pinball Show (Ann Arbor) May 13-15

    Has anyone been to this in the past and/or is anyone thinking about going this year (May 13 - 15). http://vfwpinball.com/ I may have something to pickup so I was wondering if it's worth the trip or alternatively if someone could pick up an item for me (backglass) and get it to Mississauga or...

    I don't generally go east of Yonge street but what the hell, for this I'll make an exception. I'm in.

    CAD at .70

    I'm sick of losing on the exchange rate with my credit card every time. I just got a BMO USD VISA card. It's $35/year but if you spend $1,000 or more per year the next year is free. I have a USD savings account that I'll pay the card from.

    CAD at .70

    I'm trying to stay optimistic, but as the dollar has just dipped below .70 USD I'm going to have to re-think how much money I'm going to spend on this hobby in 2016. Parts are getting really expensive at this rate, let alone machines. I wasn't collecting the last time the dollar was this low...

    Volley Parts Help

    I just remembered that before my first machines arrived 13 months ago I was excited to get started so I ordered a few things including a leaf adjuster tool. I realized much later they aren't for SS machines :deluxe picard:

    Volley Parts Help

    I'm working through what parts I need from PB Resource to fix up my Volley. Drano already provided a link to new plastics (thanks). The machine came with leg bolts connected to nuts on the inside but no plate, just individual nuts. I assume this is what I need for the inside is 4 of these...

    FOUND Volley

    Thanks guys for all the advice and comments, I really appreciate it. I picked up the Volley from Markham this morning. The backglass is bad, the cabinet ok but the playfield is in really nice shape for the age, a few pics below. I will continue to ask for input and I look forward to getting out...

    FOUND Volley

    My understanding is Target Alpha, Solar City and Canada Dry have the same playfield, just different plastics, backglass, etc. El Dorado, Gold Strike & El Dorado City of Gold all have a similar playfield to the 3 above but different. I haven't compared them side by side, I know I enjoyed the...

    FOUND Volley

    Thanks guys, Church Volley is gone. I wanted one in better shape and then when that one sold and I felt bad and realized this was my next must have machine. I sent a note to the Markham ad, hopefully will hear back.

    FOUND Volley

    Volley should be easier to find and something I can add this year hopefully. Canada Dry might be more of a dream but it was really fun playing it in Vegas. I'm aware of the similar machines but the artwork on this is just cooler.

    What's your angle?

    I've got Bally Playboy, Mata Hari, Bobby Orr and G. JP, what angle do you have similar machines set up? Now that I can measure them I see that when I did it by feel they are between 4.2 and 5.0 I know there is some personal preference and general feel, but what do you have for your early SS...
