Re: 2015 League Rules

You guys did an amazing job organizing this! Thanks again for helping take this pinball league to the next level. Random question. Since there are now a few leagues in Wisconsin has here been talk of organizing a "playoff" between each league's top 4 players. 2 A division players and 2 B d...

Re: November 15th League Night

Thanks so much for hosting Mark and Ian!
Last night was awesome and congrats to all the winners.
Such a great, eclectic mix of games.
And now I have a bit of an obsession with Swords of Fury.
Definitely gonna be my next system 11 pickup!
Hope everyone made it home safely.

Re: WTB: Williams lower trough baffle / ball stopper / whate

Dave - not the one from Don as this one is absolutely filthy, and needs a good amount TLC to get it up and running again. Have all the parts, now I just need the time! Nice grab! And I hear ya on "just needing the time." Crazy work and life situations have forced me to leave TOM in pieces...

Re: Playfield cleaning question

⬆️Great info ⬆️

And Tim, I do have an old corded drill. Knowing that the buffer could be messy/too hot I will go the drill route.
Thanks again everyone for chiming in!

Re: Playfield cleaning question

Good info/insight Tim!
And I have a small handheld buffer I use for the boat that I'll put to work on the playfield.
BTW- is it just me or does isopropyl alcohol leave a hazy film that's can be a pain to get off?

Re: What is happening for 2015?

Thanks again to all the guys on the Madison Pinball Executive Committee (or as I call them, the MAD-PECs) for organizing and managing everything. I may not be able to host due to my limited number of games but I'm happy to bring extra booze or food to leave night if you'd like.

Re: Playfield cleaning question

I use Novus 2 as well, but remember it's an abrasive not a "cleaner". Also make certain that you air our your workspace/game room as the Novus products include carcinogens. I have used the http://www.pinrestore.com/PolishingKits and do not recommend them. There is nothing to them that the...

Re: Playfield cleaning question

I was originally gonna use Novus 2 but was reading a bunch of articles on Pinside (which is probably my first problem) saying Novus should really be used as a polish more than a cleaner. This game hasn't been cleaned/serviced in at least a decade if not longer and will need many rounds of cleaning I...

Playfield cleaning question

Hey guys So as many of you know I've been in the process of shopping a TOM. I've just finished rebuilding every mech with new parts (BTW- pop bumpers are not as hard as I was expecting) and have the playfield stripped and now need to clean. Unlike my old WW and Flintstones which had relatively dirty...

Re: What pin projects have you been or are going to work on?

I've been a bit MIA since I was traveling back to back for two weeks. And now I'm balls deep in a full top to bottom, head to toe shop job on a TOM I picked up about a month ago. Originally my intentions were to pick up a newer game that didn't need anything. So much for that idea. But when I'm done...

Re: RAN to Make Mad City Flippers Shirt?

Cool!
Sounds like we got interest.
I will take size orders at league night this weekend and we can chat about shirt and logo colors.
And remember- pinball league t-shirts make great Xmas gifts for wives and mother-in-laws ;)
