Brobra, you took that ad way better than I would have, though I'm not sure what the hell could be done about it anyway. Hats off to you. Flagged it instantly for what it's worth. Just a monster sized eyeroll to whoever placed that dumb crap.

One look at this thing and I’ve decided bingo machines (or whatever you call this) are not for me.

Oh that’s a nightmare. I bought a bingo recently and sold it recently it was working well but I’d hat to try diagnose any issues. Good luck!

My 30 year route veteran told me I’m for in a sh*t storm. He said he had a heart attack looking at it.

Love the playfield on it. I’m starting small.
Playfield first, then relay banks.

Yeah, I am so in love with the artwork. Anyone know who the artists is? 1949 Bally Kentucky.

Props to my buddy in st louis for the mega score of week. Not listing the price acquired for but I can tell you it was very sexy.

Early bird get the worm. Good hunting mate.

Good call. I’m doing that. A good local collector alerted me to it, and I took it mainly for preservation purposes. It would hurt me deeply to see something so beautiful end up in a landfill.

#662 3 years ago

Decals in progress. I leave them to guys with better skills and setups. Learned the hard way before, plus love supporting our local guys.

brobra if you can help get the snow blower up on the scaffold we should have plenty of room.
If anyone wants that furnace in the left corner today’s a good day to come get it haha. It works and it’s free.

What time works for picking up the furnace. I have to run up to Rosedale Apple to get my fixed phone so no phone. PM me if that works better. Thanks John

Thanks! Looks like JohnTTwo and I are not in the included counties for some odd reason. I still made it home by 7 just in case.

Why did you do it?
Why did you waste Cyruss?
No reason I just like doing things like that!

brobra do you mind going over how you pack a game up? I usually go over board with cardboard/blankets/wrap but I think you add a mix of foam in there.

#674 3 years ago

northvibe
I generally start with head folded down with foam, blanket or cardboard buffer.
Next strap the head to the body the long way, using cardboard pieces between strap and game.
Next I measure and cut 1.5” insulation foam for the body sides and use light tack tape, like painters tape to secure.
Next I cut bottom, head, coin door, back pieces secured with tape. (I do this with coin door point up; game on back rails).
Next comes shrink wrap to secure pieces.
The last part, the bottom piece of foam is tougher. I will tilt and balance the game against a door or wall to secure the bottom foam. Other times, I have just placed the piece between the game and palette prior to strapping down.

I use two 16 foot straps to secure the palette (fully wrapped around). One under the palette non skid sides, and the other under the slats on the skid side.

Home Depot insulation foam $18 per sheet (usually need 2.5)
Husky 16 foot strap 4-pack $16 (best deal in town)
Any shrink wrap although I like the thick green Home Depot 24” 1000’ $45

Awesome and thanks for the tips! My AC/DC may need the bullet proof wrap for its next trip

Bitter sweet day. Saying good bye to time machine. I doubt I will ever come across a nicer one. This game has taught me a lot about troubleshooting Zaccaria and a few lessons learned. They use a lot of Bally parts. There boards are arranged very logically. One huge note is the when getting replacement coils, the diodes need to be reversed on the lugs. Anyway, the goal was to play it, learn it, and make sure it went to someone who really wants and will appreciate it.

Still on the lookout for a munsters pro for my pops!

#684 3 years ago

Anyone know if/when we get our “prestige” points back under our profiles. Worked so hard to get towards 100k, now I’m a 1k noob, but it’s all good. Todos bien. We have oinside back. Orale!

#685 3 years ago

I get a lot of inquiries on what’s the value of my pin. I’m happy to help, just PM me if you want the brobra price guide.

1K? I don’t have any back. Is that the post count you are looking at?

I’ve always been curious to see what the entire list contains. I know some include a ridiculous number of thumbs up and login streak.

Right on bro. I might have a few to pick it n my next run (the 90s DMD), but I’ll downshift into the 80s for you. Just cause I think you are cool.
