WTB: Avengers Infinity Quest

I'm looking to buy an Avengers Infinity Quest. I'm leaning towards a premium, but would consider a pro. Reach out to me if you're looking to sell.

Re: One-handed strippers

I really like this style of wire stripper. I've had one from Radio Shack for 15+ years and it still works great. https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/254744-gardner-bender-strip-easy-stripper.html I don't like the other style as it just pinches/tears off the insulation, sometimes damaging strands o...

Re: The Mothership is landing

I give it 6-12 months and you’ll own one. I agree that Led Zepplin seems a bit underwhelming. The cabinet on the Pro version looks like Bugs Bunny Birthday Bash - https://www.ipdb.org/images/396/image-2.jpg. The layout seems pretty "meh" too. I know it is blasphemy, but is Steve Ritchie w...

FS: Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle - $OLD

For Sale - Alice Cooper Nightmare Castle from Spooky Pinball. I am the first and only owner and I picked it up from the Spooky Factory in August 2019. It has been home use only in my basement. I'd guess less than 200 plays overall. I have a R&M coming in, so I need to make some space. Alice Coop...

Re: So..., tell me about the Madison area

Yeah, the timing of a move and career change probably couldn't be worse. The opportunity to return to the Fox Valley in utility engineering don't pop up often and if I passed up the chance to return now, it may be a long time before the next opening. I'm dreading having to go through the home search...

Re: So..., tell me about the Madison area

Well, my stay in Madison is going to be shorter than I thought. I accepted a job to return to my previous employer and will be relocating back to the Fox Valley area sometime in the first part of 2021. It is a bummer that the pandemic happened and I really couldn't get the full experience, but I'm a...

Anyone have a rivet press in the Madison area?

Does anyone in the Madison area have a rivet press? I have a new Rocky and Bullwinkle topper and there are a few mounting brackets that are riveted that I need to install from the old topper to the new one. If anyone can help me out, let me know.

thanks,
Eric

Re: New Madison Arcade

I stopped by tonight to check out Nerd Haven Arcade. Very cool place, lots of pins to play. Lots of variety and different vintages of pins. A ton of video arcade games too if you're into that.

Re: System 1 Repinning

I picked up a set of cheap jeweler's screwdrivers and filed it down so it was narrow enough to fit into the molex housing.

Re: Awwww. Damn It

Bummer to hear that you're leaving, Chris. Good luck with the move. As someone who has done a couple of large pinball machine moves, it sucks. I hope the move goes well and you find a nice place in MO.

Re: So..., tell me about the Madison area

Thanks, guys. The Radio Shack drawers are awesome for storing pinball parts. The basement filled up fast, but I fit the number of pins I expected. I was hoping to just have 1 long row where Dr. Who and TZ are, but that alcove was a couple inches too small and there wasn't enough room to get the play...
