Quoted from BMGfan:

Anybody have recommendations for board repairs in Canada?
I've got two early Sys11 boards (high speed and road kings). I want to send out. One (high speed) I know is intermittently locking a coil on (all coils checked, soldered, and new diodes installed).
Someone jacked up the board in the past. Half the traces in the special solonoid section is gone. I swapped out the drive and pre drive transistors, swapped out the 7402, and confirmed it was working as expected. I did my best with the garbage hacked up board that was there, but I'm not a pin board expert, I don't have any test fixtures, and don't really want to build them up for one board.
The other one is out of a game I just got, I know the game works, but it's an unknown quantity, just want to get it checked out.
Willing to ship it across the border, but prefer not to.

Quoted from Buckman:

Also found some Star Wars art blades (bought them for my Premium and used 2 of them). I have # 1, 3, 5 and 6 available (from top to bottom):
https://shop.sternpinball.com/collections/accessories/products/star-wars-art-blades-set-of-6
They are free as well and would be nice to send a set of 2 to a couple of Pinsiders that could use them (I can ship these so if you pay for the shipping that works for me or you can also stop by to pick them up).
Edit: both pairs of art blades have been spoken for. Thanks for asking about them!

Nice to hear they made it there, that didn’t take too long!

Quoted from transprtr4u:

Personal taste would be a new playfield!

Quoted from Pauz21:

Hey guys, looking to get thoughts on doing a hard top. I’m debating getting a hard top for my F14. Wondering if they’re worth the cost and if they hold up long-term. But also wondering if anyone else is considering it also. Perhaps we could go together and save some shipping to Canada

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

I’ve been on the fence about doing a playfield swap on my Diner. More the cost than the work. It bugs the shit out of me that CPR is Canadian and yet sets their prices in USD so when you select Canadian it has to factor in the exchange rate. C’mon, just tell me what the set price is on our side of the border and I’ll make my decision. We already get hosed enough on parts when buying from the US and now we’re get hosed on parts already in Canada but their prices aren’t. Ugh! lol

Quoted from Anony:

playfield swap on my Class of 1812

Quoted from aeonblack:

My advice to everyone is to never be afraid of doing a playfield swap. If you suck at soldering, you'll get better. If you don't understand all the wiring, you'll learn it. If you are worried about fucking something up, you will, and then you'll learn how to fix it and learn how not to fuck it up in the future (but fuck it up it anyways because your memory has gone to shit along with your back). It's really not as intimidating as it might seem.

Quoted from Stretch7:

Mirco was to do one years ago but nothing so far. Maybe its a title fantastic pinball could take on?

Quoted from algrande:

I am looking at a Freddy in Kingston. Anyone know a Phillip from there?
Thanks

Quoted from roar:

Unless the game you’ve got is a keeper or you paid well under market value for the base game I wouldn’t do a swap with the goal of making money. You will likely end up in the red after a swap. So if resale is a factor and your playfield is truly roached take a long look at Hardtops, your loss is likely to be a lot less.
Now if you’ve got really good restoration skills and you go all out with a perfect cab and back glass you can elevate your game into a ‘fully restored’ one maybe you can make money… but a swapped playfield does not equal “fully restored” and no one will pay you for your time to do the “restore”. Things to consider.

Does anyone live in Kingston? I need a pin checked out. Dan will pay

Quoted from stubborngamer:

Looks like Cineplex sold Player One, are they going to sell themselves soon too? I remember they tried to sell in 2019 but the deal fell through.

Quoted from Anony:

Yeah I'm interested to see how this pans out. My guess is the company who purchased them will end up hacking it to bits and selling parts off but there's a chance they actually want to dive into this market and we could see an improvement in the Canadian arcade landscape.

Quoted from PinPickle:

130 Mil is an investment.

Quoted from extraballingtmc:

Probably won’t make much difference to us consumers. Things will stay the same or they will exit pinball and nitro will still serve us.
