Everything on my Eight ball works great, occasionally my displays are temperamental though. Ive noticed that if I wiggle the display connector on the MPU this problem will go away.

I have a connector rebuild kit from www.bigdaddy-enterprises.com.

Only problem is my amazon crimpers don't crimp the .100 size very well. (They work great on .156)

Can anyone reccomend a crimp tool that does .100 really well?

Quoted from Alan_L:

I have to refinish the apron and wood rails on my EB. I can't find any color even close to that shade of turquoise in a spray paint. What have you guys done to match that color?
Thanks,
Alan

Maybe try reaching out to this couple? I thought the color looked really nice.

Congrats!! Ive really been enjoying the new ruleset with the 8 ball plus upgrade created by BJM-Maxx This ruleset features several new goals and even a nifty light show in attract mode. Here's a thread about it if anyone is interested.

Quoted from goodypin18:

Can anyone tell me either the part number or the actual length of the left kicker plunger and spring? I just picked up a copy and it’s missing the plunger. Thanks.

Game is moving along in a forward direction. Cabinet is nearing completion. CPR playfield has been cleared with several more coats of 2K automotive clear, sanded and buffed.

I have a spare classic bally lockdown bar. Couple scuffs but overall good condition if anyone is looking for one.
