Wow! Looks like it came right off the line!

Nice!

Like it!

Hey, I notice you don't have any cheap AA batteries on that CPU board ready to drip evil all over your new game.

You should get one of them thar new fangled remote battery holders

Or perhaps you know someone that makes them...

faz

Looking GREAT!!!!

I hope you're going video the "turning on".

That would be quite cool!
faz

Looks pretty perfect from here.

Just wondering. Did you unwrap your coils and polish the enamel

I don't think a DW ever looked this good even off the line NIB.

A true work of art.

Well, there's plenty of great shots to DW. A lot of people bag on the game because of the big open playfield.

Lots of challenge:
Locking Time Expander
Build Transmat points to earn extra doctor
Build extra Transmat points to help your drain score
Sinking the Dalaks without DR 7 lit
Hitting the scoops
Most "Loops"...only hit 80...some people have done hundreds.
Making it past Davros - 3 Times!!!
Video mode (yes, basic, but there is some challenge....not like the BSD Video Mode)
Completing Sonic boom before mode times out
Earning a boat-load of doctors (after you earn 7 you start at the beginning again)...it's really cool during drain, the faces just keep coming up on the DMD over and over and over again.
W-H-O Combo
Shatz the inlane for the extra ball
Get all seven doctors on one ball - 75M bonus
Getting a SUPER COMBO (not really a thing in the game but crazy hard)....complete Sonic Boom by ONLY using the W-H-O combos (did it twice).

All of this while you have the grand canyon of outlanes open on each side of the playfield
AND trying to keep your multiplier level at 4X!

Whew... I need to play a game

The changes have been so frequent and so interesting. Now, crickets waiting for the coin door. Can't go cold-turkey.

Can you clean the leg levelers or maybe carve "Doctor Who" in the beer-seal

faz

Cabinet fade and so scratched up.

Hard to believe it's the same machine.
faz

Taylor, that's quite the tease....

Over an hour this thread has been sitting out there...not one person responding with:

"that's what she said"

tsk tsk
faz

Holy cow!?! Is that coin door coming from Gallifrey??

faz

btw... I'm a scout leader. BSA does not like you really modifying the Boy Scout uniform but there are ways to add your 'pieces of flair'.

Leaders don't have patrols, so I created my own. Enter the "Tardis" patrol. The boys think all us leaders are older than dirt already. The Doctor is over 900 years old now...so, that should put me in the zone

Taylor,

You are CRAZY! Wonderful, Amazing...but CRAZY!

You remind me of a guy that bought a 100+ year old home. Slowly, he's been replacing everything. I told him that basically he bought the doorknob and built a new house around it.

His reply was..."we replaced the doorknob"

Amazing Amazing Amazing!

Thanks for documenting all this!
faz

And....

Not good....

Very good.... unless there's a large bon-fire in Taylor's back yard.
faz

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

I was packing in Vegas when you posted and took yesterday off to sleep

So, what's it like having a NIB DW?!?!

The clock starts now: HUO DW!

Congrats!

Now play some pinball!!!

faz

Speaking of which. I have a question for the behavior of a NIB DW.

Look at this gameplay video...just after 6:11 the guy is shooting the loop. Notice when the ball hits the trap door, the ball stops, bounces back and drops into the ramp hole.

Now look at the PAPA video going to the loop.

It just screams through the loop and out. My DW never works like the PAPA machine.

I looked once and the trap door has a crush mark in the shape of a ball (little half round). I figured this was causing mine to stop. But I have been waiting months for you to finish so I could ask the question.

thanks,
faz
