It’s funny, after spending several hours tracking down switch errors on BSD, ensuring the matrix on the cpu board was done, it all came down to a very unprofessional hack job in the 9 pin idc switch connectors. This is one example of why you should take your time and do it right.

Feels good to be in the clear. While I’m under here, I’ll be cleaning the crap out of this subway.

After a hard day’s work, and gearing up for the road, I’m dropping this great tune...

Us hyper personalities need to make time slow down, as fast as we run...
AlwaYs would rather be on the road with a bunch of high-asses, versus drunk-asses, every day of the week, including Sunday....

Gearing up for a quick run. It will be a light load, but worth it.

Congrats to whomever picked up the free DE Star Wars. Early bird gets the worm, and you deserve it.

Very lucky find.

Thank you. Very happy with it.
2 switch errors, should be simple.
Give it the 20 year shop job and she will look great!

I’m going to Mylar the holes. Naked cliffy.
Considering a tasteful touch on the very small scoop chip.

Going to duck for some cover. Going naked well-wrapped in a big ole pickup truck.

Thanks, mate. Rolling in a big 6 liter dodge pickup truck. It’s a beast. Wrapped games to be waterproof, but took some cover and slept for an hour to let the weather roll by. Timed it pretty well. An incredible lightning show outside of Madison Wisconsin at about 4am.

Yeah, apparently it was given to a guy by old man Cretor. Cretors & Co. a Chicago company.

Mission accomplished
25 hours end to end, but hauled a few things with several stops.
Thank you to the great pinsiders that supported this run.
Nap time.

Chilling out is a skill get that heart rate down, and get that clutter out of the mind.
My mind is like a VCR, I play stuff backwards and forwards, and replay all my moves. It’s nice to be able to shut that off when needed.

.

Inbound Home use Medieval Madness special edition. Low plays. Immaculate. Open for trades.

This is an excellent LE with zero plays on the new playfield...you won’t find a nicer one, even if it’s NIB. Vitty’s work and work ethic is at a very high bar.

Got ragged on the end of Zach’s podcast.
I can handle it. Glad it wasn’t slanderous
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It’s all in good fun, right?!

Almost finished with cleopatra. Grabbed a sling plastic from my spares, new rubbers set, cleaned playfield, waxed, replaced drop target bank. It’s crips and clean with excellent glass. Played great, but will play better.

Solid little 90s lineup. ‘91 to ‘98...

Dracula is like navigating a dark graveyard,
No fear is like driving on crank.
Terminator is just good action fast-paced and violent.
Monster Bash is glittery party.

Totally accepted and you are a stand-up guy for dropping in. Let’s move on to more games and looking forward to Expo. I was actually amused and honored the more I thought about it. It’s all good and when tou are little ballsy like me; you are bound to draw some attention.
Keep doing all the good stuff you do; and we’ll see each other one the road....
Until then....may the wind be at your back.

So EJS eric,
What’s the best way to approach this boy. Need to install the new drops.

Has to be 8 screws to get at this.

I’ve had an epiphany about myself and a new quote...

“You bite me, I bite you, and then we both go about our business not biting each other.”

-Brobra ‘21

Let’s put it all in the rear view. We’re all human, I was priced damn high, but I was just following Eli’s lead. It’s ok to be called out. It comes with territory. I suppose it stings when you are the butt of the joke, but it happens to best of us, and frankly, I’m flattered. I’d like to move on and think he’s a standup guy, he handled himself like a gentleman, he’s hustling hard, making contributions, living the life...so I can respect it, we all throw stuff out there that bounces back sometimes....it’s all good.
I’ve been there a lot...

I’ll post the playfield when I’m done installing targets. I’m kind of annoyed they didn’t come with decals...doooh...

The gal is pretty solid, though....

Thanks Eric! Now for the not so fun part...
Getting throat springs set. Fortunately I have a set of soldering and hook tools that come in handy

So did the game use no decals or these stars when new?

Targets almost done. I’ll hit tomorrow.
Here’s the playfield without.
Not terrible, but some swirls which are to be expected as well as the common kick-out wear...still a very decent Cleo.
