nice work on the side blades and understand now where you are going - ignore my advice, as you are all over it.
Quoted from swinks:nice work on the side blades and understand now where you are going - ignore my advice, as you are all over it.
Or maaaybe we took some good advice at heart!
)
I just realised i made a booboo...
The angle is wrong. 
It has to go up steeper to the backbox.
Ah well,the dude will bend some new ones next week.
It looks real great with these painted sides,it really boxes the playfield.
Really want it to be right so swapping them this week.
Quoted from swinks:nice work guys... see ya next week
You bet buddy!
We'll be here
Greensboro, NC
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Always good to see Gerard,supernice bloke with cool pinball stories.
But I can't understand a thing y'all say. Except for the beer part. Guess that's universal in any language.
Quoted from zerbam:should'nt those bannana flippers go into the minnions machine?........BANNANA!!!!!
I thought they were for minions also
Quoted from Travish:But I can't understand a thing y'all say. Except for the beer part. Guess that's universal in any language.
And Banana flippers!
Quoted from zerbam:should'nt those bannana flippers go into the minnions machine?........
No... but maybe.... 
Quoted from paultje:Nice work guys, have a good weekend
U2 buddy!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Great work again guys!
Those banana flippers are bananas!
Will the rubber conform to it?
The yellow cover is the rubber,it is molded to fit over the flipper.
If you take the yellow cover off,there is a red williams flipper bat under there.
Quoted from Travish:But I can't understand a thing y'all say. Except for the beer part. Guess that's universal in any language.
Lol , you gotta understand,we grew up with lots of your sitcoms like family ties,alf,married with children.
English MTV with Ray Cokes and other blokes.
So a lot of times we use english one liners in scenteses.
Weird thing is...parts of your language does not translate to dutch.
Example: if my girlfriend makes fun of me,i'll say:" i will never open up to you again! ".
Which translated to Dutch is a very weird and square scentence.
So we often use english like slang.
Come have a beer translates to: "kom je een biertje pakken jonguh".
Quoted from zerbam:should'nt those bannana flippers go into the minnions machine?........BANNANA!!!!!
Yeah 
Of course they are for the minion machine,just a joke.
I was on the skull bottle with Gerard last night after a few beers and all of a sudden the banana flippers were on the Crazy Mansion 
Quoted from Fulltilt:No... but maybe....
Wow that picture is wrong on so many levels...
Gilligan's Island
Banana flippers look cool, but they suck to play with big time. Re consider the us e please!
I have a set that I put on games for a laugh, but they get old quick.
Next time try safety goggles not swimming goggles 
Just like morpheus famous quote. You have to see it for yourself....
The guys does exists, the Grinder is for real.
The Blue bruses and the Red blood also.
They are the One.
Stay in wonderland guys

The minion machine is a fun gimmick anyway the flipperbats belong in the theme!
The goggles were actually from my sons chemistry kit
Quoted from Peer:Stay in wonderland guys
Ofcourse!
It's great here! 
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Ofcourse!
It's great here!
And y'all got cool cars. You have our cool cars and your cool cars too.
Quoted from Travish:And y'all got cool cars. You have our cool cars and your cool cars too.
Now that i think of it,i only own American cars!? 
did not notice it
I love how usa build cars look...i am a total sucker for the fabulous fifties/sixties/early seventies.
No windtunnel created crap,my '59 Plymouth Fury front is just a vertical wall trying to plow through the air resistance.
It uses up all the fuel in the netherlands if i go on a trip...
It has some rust here and there,no plans to restore..i just drive it like it is.
My son and i named her "the Rolling Legend".
A few months back i watched the movie Christine with him and boy did he dig it...he sometimes sits in our plymouth pretending he is Arnie Cunningham.(he told me )
New addition to the family is Tessa...our Tesla.(i have 49 solar panels on the pinball building so a tesla made sense)
It is a high milage 2013 car,else one cannot afford it.
I sold my left kidney,gallons of blood and worked three jobs to buy it.
But i wanted a Tesla so bad..,it is like driving the Enterprise from Star Trek.
Also american made..
Hm
All my pins are american made too( except FT) and i collect usa space age stuff... 
All the stuff i dig is American made! 
I am on the wrong continent!!!!
Quoted from PAPPYBALL:Nice! Super jealous! You need a Tesla semi truck next for hauling pins!
Don't be,not trying to show off 
It is actually way more car than i should drive,i am just a simple guy.(i get reactions like:" is that YOUR car??" (They have a hard time swallowing:"but you are a moron? It can't be yours?!")
Thing is,i was willing to work crazy hard to get one.
Now i will die 5 years sooner
Tessa luckely accomodates a pinball machine,i bought the mercedes station wagon so i could haul pins...(never measured,figured it would fit)
Well it didn't...stupid merc.
It sold well and i never missed it a second.
Seats in the merc were awful.
The Tesla seats are a big warm hug when you step into the car.

Well it IS a gottlieb system 3 you have in there.. those are the worst case scenario among pins, the cabinets are so dam tall. When my wife drove a scion XB (the newer one), it would scrape the ceiling but would fit. Those were clearly meant to be operated with a Van or pickup.

Oh? Did not know that?
I could not get a Ballyor Stern in too ?
Transported a brandnew acdc Lucy the same way.
The guy i bought it from thought i was nuts
