I actually did a bit of hobbying (as my wife calls it) yesterday. Setup EFTLW and Rollergames. never realized how much fun RG is..
If you could recreate the prototype Rollergames drop target stickers for me it would motivate me to finish up my proto drop target retrofit in my game, and post up the how-to for all too enjoy. :)

I set up my new TOTAN this weekend and swapped in a ton of parts, including a whack of brass plated stuff that I had Mike Chestnut do for my old TOTAN.
She's real pretty with not a lot of depth, but she sure is fun.
Hmmm... sounds like some of my old girlfriends :rolleyes:

Being yesterday was family day I had a impromptu pinball gtg. My good pals Terry and Reg were passing by and stopped in for a few games here:

Hard to believe I got time on your MM. Reg did his best to monopolize it! Thanks again for letting us drop by on such short notice. Was in B/W heaven!!

Headed up to Barrie to visit Budfan, as he'd helped me snag a pin. Great guy with an awesome collection!

So I'm going up the 400 and I see a pickup truck pulled over with 3-4 pins in the back. Anyone we know? I'm thinking 1 might have been a firepower but I only got a fleeting glance...

It could have been Danny from DC Amusements in Schomberg.

I went to Milton today and picked up a made for home only Star Explorer Pinball machine. I was quite impressed with the little machine and I love the size but after playing the real thing it is much different but none the less I think its fun and affordable.

Then I finally had some time to tinker with my machine and I fixed my flipper problem in my Goldwings machine. I still haven't gotten around to getting my sound to work though thats my next fix.

Brought home a gottlieb circus on Tues. Had no idea it was such a large pin. Only pin I've had issues fitting into my truck.

WH20 makes a return back into the line up for Round #2. The cab is rough and hoping to address some of the flaws such as new head decals otherwise it plays great and the playfield is in good shape for being +20 years old. Once I fix/change a few things on WH20 I will shuffle it into my main row of pins to hide the rashed up head decals for the time being. I can also see the Shadow gun being a hazard and I already walked into it a few times last night setting WH20 on legs.
