    SOLD Hobbit Smaug Edition

    Selling my Hobbit Smaug to make room for something new. I bought this NIB, and it's been trouble free since. It's a later build of the Smaugs, so it has the fix on the left wireform, and all the beast upgrades are installed to fix ball hangups. Also has Scorbit installed (just the wifi...

    TZ Flipper issues

    So last week, I ran into a problem with my TZ, which has been rock solid in the 10 years or so I've owned it. After I had people over for league, the lower right flipper stopped working completely. No obviously busted wires, coil wouldn't fire in test. Fuses are fine, opto boards are fine...

    CBC radio bit on Pinball

    So I was flipping through my RSS feeds, and I saw a picture of Julie come up. CBC radio did a bit on the resurgence of pinball with Corey Cooke, Julie Dorssers, and a couple who have built an arcade out in PEI: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/pinball-popular-profit-1.6692822?cmp=rss Neat...

    Anyone here collecting old console games?

    I've been toying with the idea of selling some my old console games, but haven't really been active in the space for quite a while. The list of things I'm looking to move is here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jU553csgM0abApoX6PgDyTPU2zjnSCQU9Wv6kCSblYg/edit?usp=sharing)-all of my...

    CRT won't stay on

    I have a 27" CRT in my MAME cabinet (old TV) that won't stay on anymore. I just tried it, and it stayed on for maybe a minute, and then sort of buzzed, flickered, and then powered off, and will not power back on. I'm assuming that something is overheating (maybe one of the capacitors), and I'm...

    Stern Insider Connected/Scorbit

    I know Nick has tried out Insider Connected with Godzilla, and the current word is that retrofit kits will be available later this year and run $200. It's a neat idea, but not necessarily a cheap addon. I'd also heard about Scorbit a while back, who makes an addon board that looks like it'll...

    SOLD Pool table, shop dust collector

    My parents are downsizing, so they're selling some stuff off. Posting here to see if anyone is interested. Both are in the Mississauga (Winston Churchill/Britannia) area: - Dust collector for shop tools. Really useful because it kicks the vacuum system in with the tool start, so it'll...

    SOLD TP-Link AC1750 Wifi range extender-$50

    Bought this a couple of months ago to try to sort out bad wifi reception in my home office, but ended up just running ethernet instead. Strong wifi is good, but gigabit ethernet is better, although much more difficult to install. Here's the amazon listing for it. $100 new, looking to get $50...

    MAME with Raspberry pi3?

    Anyone tried building a MAME off a Pi3? A friend at work had a spare kit and some arcade stick parts, so I offered to help put together a box for the office. I've got all the hardware working with RetroPie, and the console stuff seems to work OK, but the MAME romset I have for my cabinet is...

    Stern Single Drop target issue-GB

    I noticed on my GB this morning that the right drop target wasn't staying up. Sure enough, in test it would go up and then right back down. If I move it manually it stays up, but it looks like the lip on the target isn't catching properly when it's fired up by the solenoid. I haven't taken...

    Cineplex opening new "Rec Room" game center in Square One

    I saw this story online the other day about Cineplex taking over the old Target (which I think used to be Zellers) space at Square One. Sounds like it's going to be a more upscale/adult targeted Playdium? This is a little odd, since Playdium is just across the street from there... I wonder if...
