Chris messes shit up . He fixes it though. Dont expect this album to be public for much longer. I think the whos who of restores is funny. who f-ing cares. If yuo stick them they bleed red. One of my favorite sayings from Bryan Kelly. I might have more money than someone but my shit still stinks.

Chris is not a god nor anyone special really. The minute people put someone like this on a pedestal is the moment insanity strikes. Is he good yes he is. Is he the best. I cant say he is. The minute you say someone is the best is the minute you rule out all other possibilities. There could be plenty of people that do what he does even better but dont post about it. Anybody can restore a pinball machine to that level. It takes time and most importantly money. Anyone can sand and clear pf's all it takes is time and money to learn how.

Just remember someone is always better at what you claim to be the best at!

This will not end well

Here comes the fight

wow. what an asshole. I cant believe someone would come on here to point out a flaw
in a picture that an execeptionally nice guy goes out of his way to provide as a service to all
of us.

I think the constant pissing and moaning back and forth needs to stop in general. If anything, it just hurts us all.

HEP does amazing work, McCune does amazing work, that TZ looked awesome -- let's all just get along before silly flaming threads encourage gracious people like Chris to take down his videos with content that help us all.

Who cares. It looks purdy.

What I like is that he started a separate thread instead of keeping crap in the sellers thread. Finally!!
Thank you.

This should go well...

should i put the pop corn in the microwave?

This is going to go over like a lead balloon.

PINBALL!

this thread should be deleted now or re-named or whatever, not good for pinball.

this is actualy worst than the TZ thread!

People are not allowed to discuss this I see. He is a GOD how dare us mortals converse on his shortcomings! GASP!

Yeah, and by going out of his way you mean you give him $5,000, lol.

Business man myself, so I appreciate what chris is doing, and his work is top notch, period. Although, I just find it humorous when people see certain companies in such a light that they can do no wrong and are flawless. Chillax and stop buying only br0and names. Don't believe hype.

Did we need this thread pointing the flaw out? No. Do we need that nonsense in the TZ thread? Not a chance.

Got to love the old Spidey cartoons.

My avatar challenges your avatar to a duel.

It's just a picture.

There is nothing to show that Chris did not reorient the flap before he shipped the pin (as he probably did as soon as he playtested it).

First off, you must have a TON of time to scour through all of Chris's restored pics and find an error like that. That being said, I don't own one of these, but I'll take your word for it that he did it wrong.
The great thing about Chris is that he probably appreciates you finding it, and will most likely contact the owner to tell him he made a mistake, and try and fix it.
The reason everyone gets "bent out of shape" about someone comparing their work to his, is because not only the work he puts into the machine, but even after you've had the machine for a while, he'll gladly take the time to answer any questions/problems the owner has not only with the machine he restored, but other questions about any other machines you might have questions about that are yours and not restored by him.
I'm pretty sure if I bought that "nice as HEP" machine from him, and had a problem 6 months from now, he wouldn't have a clue how to fix it, or what's wrong with it.

Add to the fact the title makes it sound like you're a 3rd grader taddling on the kid next to you for chewing gum.

In short, nice find...maybe I'll just call you the next time I've got a question about one of my machines since you've got tons of time on your hands...

That flaw is easily fixed by the new owner, who I'm sure was ecstatic when he got this pin. That WW gallery was better than porn. Metallik, you didn't link to the TZ thread so I didn't read it. I'm sure the fanboys do need to calm down, but calling out HEP in a new thread is uncool IMHO.

Let he who is without sin,,,,,

I mean really, wow.. Just wow.

Well, at least now we know who did the TZ restore !

who did it? I stopped reading it became work.

Total waste of fricken time. Everyone knows HEP does it for a living. He's not perfect, not god, not [insert whatever here]. He does absolutely gorgeous restorations, FOR HIRE, and has done a lot of good for pinball. Dickhead move digging up bullshit like this, he didn't say the TZ was crap compared to his did he????

If your looking for perfect in this world- good luck with THAT! HEP does real nice work.

I'll bet $1000 that it was fixed before it left the shop.

This thread is worthless.

Thanks.The games are pictured BEFORE they are play tested in order to eliminate any dirt etc.

BTW I tried to be nice and stay out of the TZ thread but as an FYI flipping that flap took just a second but I doubt the TZ seller will have as easy a time putting the ground braid on the correct side of the head of that game.

At the very least, thanks for starting a thread I can refresh every few seconds with new stuff to read.

I had found myself bored and looking at the tragic wiki story of Dana Plato's troubled life, (go ahead and do it, you know you want to...) so this is refreshing.

.

Ha! I told you sons of bitches

Chris, GLWTS! (good luck with the shitheads....)

Should read Dana Plato's trouble but very hot life.....

If she had lived, it was only a matter of time before she ended up doing porn. It was certainly a tragic ending. All three of the Drummond children suffered poor fates. At least we still have Todd Bridges.

Thanks but I don't need it .Never ending battle and rarely worth the effort.Larry(metallic) has always had a problem with HEP don't let the lip service fool you.

Did you miss the part where Chris said he reoriented it before it left the shop?

Larry, you are digging your stupidity pit deeper by the minute.

Nothing like engaging in asshole behavior to protest asshole behavior. Assholes abound!

Was the ASS part in assumption capitalized on accident or purpose Mr. Clever???

As for the other TZ thread, I never commented or read it all, but I saw the title was changed, and I don't think he was doing it to be a jerk-just to say it was super nice.

And amazingly, when you did your reassembly, you went to HEP to make sure you put it together correctly...

Good thing you looked at the "before" pics genius...you should probably take a time out from typing for a while.

But you didn't make it about "them", you made it about Chris. You're acting like a b!7¢# to the man when he didn't say boo. That's a low f---ing move. So yeah, you're probably going to get dogpiled, not because Chris needs a white knight, but because you're being slimy towards someone who's gone out of his way to share with the community. He's gonna get paid his prices for his work without shooting video and taking the time to share tips with people.

I think everything you are typing is just proving my point.I don't even have fan boys or whatever nonsense you are talking about.You are obviously sick because someone got railed out in a sales post.
