    Quoted from shaub:

    It looks like you've got a good group of pinball players over there in Edmonton. Do you do a monthly tournament?

    We have a league that we do monthly and we usually have a tournament outside of the league roughly every 4 months .

    Quoted from pingod:

    They aren't that good,we beat them for the championship
    Looks like you guys had a good time,wish I was there for that one.

    Wow almost hard for me to remember when I did t have a cell phone and going on 8 years now without landline or fax
    If worried about a bill just ditch the landline and get a cell.
    Do they still charge for long distance on land lines within Canada?

    Finally got a record player for Xmas so I can play some of this. Now it’s time to break out the rest of my collection.
    Been over 30 years since I’ve listened to some of these on vinyl.

    #2807 4 years ago

    Yes we live stream tourneys and league nights on twitch. Super easy with new wireless camera rig to move around to different machines. The guys did a great job with the layout on twitch and commentating is good too. I dont have a link handy but if you search DHPL you should see something pop up.

    Quoted from Fytr:

    Possible issue with the source AC power feed?

    I wasn't able to be there for the set up yesterday but I'm hoping to get there today and will have a look and let you know what i find.

    #2933 3 years ago

    Update
    Simple fix ... the right flipper bat didn’t have any spacing from the bushing so it was binding. Adjusted the bat and bushing space and good to go.

    #2940 3 years ago
    Quoted from jesperpark:

    So if you would of been there yesterday, you could of alleviated all that stress

    Yes....but i have to say if anyone quality tested this machine it would have been obvious and shouldn't have left the factory floor until fixed. I was not able to make a loop or ramp shot with that right flipper and barely the center scoop.

    #2942 3 years ago
    Quoted from extraballingtmc:

    Get a chance to adjust slings

    No nothing i can do unless change flipper coils. They are good but not great.... Just a typical JJP sling strength, not sure why but it may be as there overall sling length(post to post) is too short maybe. To look at the mechs and stock coils you would think it should be good.

    #2943 3 years ago

    I have to say ...whoever is getting one will love it, Beautiful game
    "You could be mine" multiball was intense.
    Yes a few too many multiballs and definitely need to change some settings as far as add a balls and ball saves and make mutliballs more difficult to get.
    Ohh one other thing i noticed was post rubber missing between inlanes on left, not sure if this is done on purpose.

    #2978 3 years ago
    Quoted from extraballingtmc:

    So how is the gnr le playfield holding up at arkadium?

    I didn’t really look at playfield yet but will next time and let you know. But I think it was good as nothing jumped out at me.

    Here are some pictures of the rubbers I changed today from not even a week of play and you will see where one broke off which may be a future problem as it was digging in the lane guide beside so I tried to adjust the travel so it does t dig in but unfortunately you can adjust too much as there is a hole under flipper and tried adjusting the lane guide but really can’t as they have through hole lane posts. They must from same supplier as spooky as the ones on Alice were bad to but last a bit longer. Also included of some rubbers that were missing even before Derek got to it lol. I also adjusted the magnet as it was a little high

    Anyone in Regina can help a fellow out with some legs. I sold a black hole last month to a guy in Regina and long story short the tried to steal it out of his basement. Good news they were unsuccessful but got away with keys and legs. He's not on pinside so i figure i reach out here and see if anyone has some legs locally he could purchase and get him back to playing his game.

    #3093 3 years ago
    Quoted from extraballingtmc:

    Pinballs are not easy to steal.

    Quoted from Saltimbanco:

    Must have been surprised by the weight..

    Ya by the looks of it from pic i seen they got it to the back door with the head on and left it there.

    Quoted from Pinhead306:

    I have a 4 extra legs laying around but I think one might be different length then the other 3

    Ok ill let him know...Thanks

    It had a cool vibe in that basement I thought, but it sure got hot with all those machines and low a ceiling with no good ventilation and a/c.

    Quoted from DaveBen:

    250 plays on the GNR and the rubbers are wearing out already.

    Might as well get some sling rubbers too as those will be going soon. Unfortunately GNR came with some cheap rubbers.

    That place has grown into a neat entertainment place.. it used to have a cool shuffleboard type game where you stabs in the floor and play…. Did t try it but looked fun. good to see pins added a few years back. I suggest anyone in the area stop by for a beer or bowling or pinball or all. If memory serves me right that place used to be an old Tabacco company.

    Hi BMGfan, I am Gilles.
    Unfortunately I won’t be taking on any more work till further notice. I have too many restores sitting in shop and others waiting to come in. I would like to help you out but can’t right now.
    But like Tinn was saying it’s not really as simple as shooting it and be done. It usually takes prep work then multi coats with sanding in between and of course a final sand and power polish. If you have any questions shoot me a pm and I can help that way.

    #4656 7 months ago

    With a name like Gilles the other one must be in the east lol
    I can’t believe other people named their kids that
