Is it much effort to swap these between machines?
(Topic ID: 137778)
It is dead easy and a five minute install. I was really impressed not just with the final result but the packaging, installation and instructions. It was nice for everything to be so top notch, when you spend that much you expect everything to be packaged up nicely with all the cables and extra screws included and that is exactly what I got with my ColorDMD.
Has anyone shipped a pin to the states? If yes who'd you use for transport and any extra fees involved? Thanks

It was very easy to install. No issues there. I spent more time trying to decide what type of dot pattern to choose. Swapping the displays would be easy, but I think you would require a new power cable if you are switching between different platforms.
After spending the holidays in a truck in Washington the courier finally finished delivering my black mmr. The Nitro boys picked it up this morning and brought it over, packed it in and set it up for me. Can't say enough great things about nitro amusements and the service and support they offer. I was in on gold for almost 2 years and switched about a month ago. Phew! The black looks sick, nothing like a de. Txs to tommy for pulling a few strings to make the switch possible. Here are some pics of #580 safe home in Canada.
If you need anything pinball related they can do it or get it for you. Way better than starburst because nitro is all pinball and only pinball. I highly recommend them. My second nib from them and everything is top notch. Txs again Tommy and Don.
These guys are great! We are so lucky to have them out on the west coast! They can ship all over Canada and for probably no more than Starburst if your living on the east side! Service is great on phone and particularly in person! Keep up the great work guys!

Congrats on a wicked game! It's crazy for me to think that you have been waiting for that game longer than I have been in the hobby, and I am glad to hear that it's been worth the wait!

Yup, Nitro is awesome. One of the main reasons I have gotten into pinball actually, and it works great with them being two blocks from my house!
One competitor has pulled out of the league and we now have one open spot to fill if interested (we have 31 players registered for the 2016 season). League schedule is posted on diehardpinball.ca under events page, please email [email protected] if you have interest. First league night is tomorrow!!!!
Yes, what a great night 31 players strong, some excellent pinball playing was on exhibition, it was a very friendly environment, the excitement was in the air and was a great start to the year!!!!
Quoted from aeonblack:How the hell did I rank 12th?! I wasn't even drinking!
That's the problem
Just heard that there's going to be a show/convention in Edmonton in early May. Anyone have any news on this/confirmation?

What happened to attending every OPL this season? LOL
Quoted from HoneyBadger:What happened to attending every OPL this season? LOL
Wife's becoming a principal so she was in class on the weekend of the OPL in November and Dec was the xmas party. 2016 here I come.
That logo leaves alot to be desired, I could have never read yegpin from the gp combo without the description. Marketing 101 that is bad. Their line up however is very nice

The logo could be a fat naked man rolling in a pile of cheetoh dust and I would still be interested and attending. I think a lot of pinheads would share the same sentiment.
There's a lot of members east and west of us, anyone have any immediate thoughts that they might make the trip out?
We're coming from west of Saskatoon. Think some fellow pinsiders from the south of Saskatchewan are interested too. I'm sure the Saskatoon boys will be attending as well. Told my arcade friends too.
Derek started a thread on this event already and website is up and running!
yeah logo is lame, but who cares? Finally a pinball event in Edmonton!
Link to the thread? Can't seem to find it.
Edit: Nevermind, just found it. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/2016-edmonton-pinball-and-arcade-expo-yegpin-official-thread
Hey guys I'm looking for a Williams IJ plastic ramp, both Marco and Bay Area amusements are sold out are there any other suppliers out there that might carry it. I thought I saw awaile back on some thread about a few other suppliers but can't seem to track it down now that I need too. Thanks a bunch.
On another note super excited about hearing of the Edmonton pinball expo looking forward to getting up there for sure.

Thanks I will try those. I'm new to the buying parts side of this hobby so I need all the help I can get on part suppliers. Just got the heads up from a pinsider that Marco now has them in stock I can't believe I missed it just had a huge order shipped from them last week.
starship-fantasy.com is the guys who bought out Pinball Inc, who were The guys for repro ramps. I hate their website though, it is terrible to navigate through.
Thanks guys I really appreciate the help. Starship is out of stock but little shop of games has it and as a bonus has some other parts I need as well. Just might be able to get the remainder of the parts I need from one supplier now.
Couldn't be a worse time to be a Canadian pinball buyer. Lots of nice titles coming out that are expensive already without adding at least 40% to the price.

Our dollar will be crap for 2016 but will bounce back in 2017, our economy usually lags the States by one year and they seem to be turning things around.

Bounce back is a strong word. In 2017 we might see the dollar back floating around 80 cents. I'd call that a hop.
Since all pins go through starburst, no one really. The funny thing is if you convert 6500 can to usd its about 4500 right now, for new sterns thats actually a good price in the states. Still sucks here after conversion 
Funny I had a few resto projects that Im thinking twice about now!
Maybe I'm an oddity around these parts, but I'm of the opinion that if you can't afford an extra couple grand, you probably shouldn't be spending the money in the first place. Does it suck that the conversation is crap right now? Big time. But that's all the more reason for people to start trading pins around more. A lot of machines stagnate in collections here, because people get something they like and don't want to let it go (we're all guilty, myself included).
I don't see myself trading or selling pins in a near future.
I make sure before buying a pin that it's what I want
I like my lineup the way it is...... I only need more

The sad part is even if you go for a nice Huo of an older pin you might end up paying $4500 so maybe 6500.
Wich was the price of a NIB premium not 2 years ago

That extra couple grand (which is more like $3k+ as time goes by) is potentially another 1-2 used machines, or potential spending on a vast array of other hobbies/vehicles/vacations/etc. For me it's not about 'affording it', its about justifying it.
Thank god Game of Thrones didn't have an LCD - that was going to be a must buy until I saw that. The prospect of a Star Wars machine coming out this year WITH an LCD scares me....

You're missing out on a great game then!

There is always location pinball, support that industry if you can't afford/justify to get yourself into the NIB machine titles.

Pinball desert here my friend, if I don't buy them I don't get to play.

My sentiment exactly. If I could not afford I would not buy them.

I played it at Expo. I know what I'm missing.
Its really good, but between the DMD and the meh artwork, it's not a $10k game for me Glad to hear you're enjoying it though. The rules are VERY compelling.
Quoted from HoneyBadger:Who cares about the US exchange. Buy buy buy!!!
Just saw the cnd at .6996
