Re: How did you all get started?

I started thinking about owning a pin in 2004. I didn't know anyone that owned them. After some research on the web to figure out if I could repair one I found Clay's site. This site was in layman's terms on how the electronics worked, what usually went wrong, recommended tools and supplies to get t...

Welcome Quy, I live in the Wausau area. There are a couple pins on location at the local bowling joints. Hit me up when you are in the area.

Tech tip: yellow rubber bumper sleeve fitment

After talking to one of my pinball friends and mentioning that I have 2 of these big yellow rubbers on my game (Truck Stop). He said "wow those are a pain to install". Here's a trick I have used putting a seal on a carburetor accelerator pump shaft. Use a ball point pen cap or part of the ...

Re: Help, I am getting a pinball machine!

Since it is in your office area - if you have any sunlight that hits it throughout the day - put a cover on the game when not using it. Sunlight can fade the cabinet and playfield and affect resale value.

How do you like playing it so far?

Re: Far Our stuck in Game Over. Won't reset.

Well I got it. Some wires were cut on the coin door. Once it was running I found a lot more errors. Ball doesn't launch, no ball counter, bonuses don't add, bumpers don't work, etc. There's a bit more, but this one will be one hell of a project... it looks so nice though. :shock: Congrats on making...
