PROJECT PIN ADVICE!

[Mike Walsh]

Hey Guys/Ladies,
Hoping to pick up a project pin
Sometime soon. I will likely be bugging you folks for any and all advice. One of my first questions is where and what crimper should I get for repining connectors!? I'm looking at possibly getting early Solid State and possibly an EM.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
Mike

Hey Mike, I just noticed you are in NFLD. Not much local pins for sale, much like Nova Scotia. Good luck on your next pin and my advice, look for something that mostly works. It is more fun playing than repairing.

Hey Rascal, thanks for the advice definitely more fun playing than working on! Like you said there is little to nothing coming up for sale around here! I know they are out there. For some reason nobody wants to let them go, working or not. I had a wanted ad in Kijiji for awhile and had some contact with people either looking for high dollars for old non working machines or fellas looking for repairs. I helped one guy out with a
minor flipper issue on a Swords of Fury. He also has a 25th anniversary Star Trek I may help him fix a few issues, with my limited knowledge. But overall nothing moving! I'm thinking I may hold out until I can get a MET and a MM but that can always change. I'm thinking a project pin soon just more for the experience.
