    Do you have a dream custom pin?

    It's obvious that dude had NOTHING to do with the graphic design of that cool topper :D

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    awesome story dude! My kids always seemed to find the gun shooter on IJ... and clocked themselves a few times in the process :confused:

    I'm new to site!

    Welcome Dave! If Bob's Bally Eight Ball becomes available I would seriously consider that for a first game. It's the first solid state pin, if I'm not mistaken, that wasn't originally designed as an electro-mechanical game. I think it is a lot of fun. Playfield is simple and the objectives are...

    Titles????!

    Since this is the 'Revolution' I think it would be fun to have something similar to military or political ranks. Whaddya say 'comrade' ? Wanna be the next commandant?

    Do you have a dream custom pin?

    This topic is near and dear to my heart since I am just about to embark on such a project. I won't post the theme publicly just yet, but I've already told a few people and it should be a lot of fun. Music themes always scare me because I'm not sure there's any one artist I'd want to hear over...

    The Daily News! All about the members.

    I had the same reaction the other day. I had to do a double take; was certain it was a glitch in the new website :D I wish I had some exciting daily news for you Scott. Aside from spending the last week or so working on that Heat Wave (which is already well documented here), it's just been a...

    WTB Williams 1960's lockbar endcaps

    I know these are hard to come by, but I'm praying someone out there has a great horde of parts or is parting out a similar era pin ad is willing to help me out. This is for my recently acquired 1964 Williams Heat Wave. It's an awesome game and I just spent a few days cleaning it up. Here are a...

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

    Thanks guys! I got the project almost all wrapped up last night. It could still use a couple of small touch-ups on the cabinet which I will do with a small brush and I really need to find a right side end cap for the lockdown bar; but these are pretty rare :( I have to change out a few bulbs in...

    Nice to have this all in one place. Thanks!

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

    I didn't do too much on Heat Wave last night aside from a 2nd coat of white paint on the cabinet and I re-assembled the coin door. Here's a quick shot of the hammertone paint finish and the newly polished coin return mechs and new lock. It's not original, but far better than the rusty dirty mess...

    TIP We are go for launch!

    The site looks awesome guys! Hey Derek, One thing I've noticed is the "post in line" option is gone and, as a result, a lot of the step-by-step stuff I've posted is sorat lost. All the pics are still there, but grouped into a big pile at the end of the post. I tried inserting links from Flikr...

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

    IT'S A HEAT WAVE! I've spent the last few days 'cleaning up' this 1964 Williams Heat wave. I won't call it 'restoring'... I don't think I've done a true restoration since my White Water almost 2 years ago; probably won't do another until I get Cactus Canyon rolling in earnest. However, most of...

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

    Those cutters are great; we have them at my studio (similar anyway). They work great on vinyl and I've used it many times to create super precise masks for things like the black key lines around inserts. Saves a ton of time and your fingers. They're not so great for Frisket though. I mean, it'll...

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

    Hey... sorry for the delayed reply. Been busy fixing stuff :D I'd love to see actual pictures of yor playfield to make a proper assessment on how I would approach the repair. However, those letters look large enough that the acrylic pen might do the trick. I love the MOLOTOW markers. The...
