    I'm thinking of what I'd like to get for Christmas and need some ideas for EM tools, parts, et al.

    What's on your EM Christmas wish list this season?

    A nice Gottlieb Orbit would be near the top of the list. A project Fire Queen that I could pop my populated playfield in would also be nice.

    Thanks I consider the 4 games pictured my Williams collection. Southland Little Pro sort of counts as the company was started by Harry Williams and it has Williams components.

    Then you'll want more pins, a never ending viscous circle we'll play until we die and then the wife sells them off at 10 cents on the dollar...

    For Christmas I'd like a nice Woodrail to go with the one I have.

    A Dremel kit is on my Christmas wish list and I'm getting that but I'm looking for something else for Christmas that I can use for my EM hobby.

    Very cool machine! Best of luck with it

    Coincidentally, this week Santa also sent me a "Steeple Chase." Not the same game as yours - but a 1932 Exhibit Supply horse themed trade stimulator.

    Christmas arrived yesterday in the way of a Dremel and accessories.

    Now I'm wondering if there's a powered cordless flexible shaft screwdriver I can get for working under the playfield. Not a Dremel accessory. (Using the dremel as a screwdriver would burn it out I'd think?)

    Is there such a thing?

    Happy Holidays

    I changed the topic title because I need ideas for EM gifts.

    My wife and I agreed that whatever we spent for her Christmas gifts. I would get the same value for my EM gifts.

    I've gotten a Dremel kit but I still have about $150 for other EM Christmas gifts.

    Any ideas? What would YOU give an EM Pinsider for Christmas?

    A gallon or two of Evaporust, a section of 4" PVC pipe & a couple of glue on end caps. This stuff is the bomb for removing rust.
