This weekend I managed to break my 1958 Gottlieb Rocket Ship :( The game had one feature that wasn't socring right. The right gobble hole should score 50K when unlit and 300K when lit. It only scores the unlit value. The left gobble hole is fine. In the process of trying to trouble shoot it, I...

Bob, There are a few guys that'll repair your board. Bruno out in QC comes to mind and he's very reasonable. There are some local guys too but not sure if they're taking on any work. I have a brand new ALLTEK board that you can borrow while getting your old one repaired. Shoot me a PM if you're...

I FINALLY GOT SOME WOOD(RAILS)! I guess it was inevitable; the woodrails are coming!!! I collected DMDs for years but, once I got my first EM, I was hooked. Ever since I have loved exploring games further and further back in time. Yes, the gameplay is different and sometimes slower... but...

TKAYE!!! ;) The only thing I threw down in O-town was my money :( Congrats to all!

You don't want to bring the target forward. It only sits forward in the up position. Height adjustment is certainly the first thing to try. I would also look at the pitch of the game. If you have enough of an angle on the playfield, gravity tends to resolve most issues. Also make sure it's not...

I brought home my first woodrail today! Actually bought two of them in as many days. A 1947 Humpty Dumpty and a 1958 Rocket Ship Will post some pics in my restoration thread once I get them set up

I've been looking for a good task light. The stuff I've tried isn't all that great for one reason or another. That magnetic one looks decent. I wonder what the battery life on it it like? I bought something similar and it's definitley not meant for long term use. I have a couple of those PETZL...

Bob, One other thing to consider would be to swap out the standard 44 bulbs for 47s. They are substatially cooler than the 44 and will retain the nice incandescent quality that most people like on these vintage pins. If the game has been shopped and done up already, you may want to check if this...

Having the free game set low is probably a workaround for not having to manually add credits all the time. I'd leave it. Who cares if you get a free game in a home environment anyway? Not like you're paying to play :) LEDs are fine in these older games AFAIK. I've used them on EMs too. Try to...

That's a decent looking first EM Ben ;) It will shine up really nice I think.

Tee Hee :jimlad: You'll poke your eye out!

Quick Brock... where's the "You Snooze You Lose" award? :cool: I secretely suspect Scott has a secret bat signal or something whenever a FS post is made

Sorry Bob :confused: I was somehow under the impression that these games you were getting were intended for pretty quick re-sale. Not sure where I got that? My apologies :) Now Dave, go out and find your own Eight Ball will ya!
