    Some self promoting rat is posting this!

    Hey Folks!

    Have been super busy with my new YouTube channel so that's why I have not been posting much lately.

    Wanted to launch it on back in November, but one thing after another kept stalling the project. I currently have a mini nightmare series playing in my head from it all.

    Well here you go, hope you enjoy!

    Okay, first question. Why do you chain lock, the door while you are in the room?

    Head cab was an AbraCadabra!!!

    Quoted from pinhead52:

    Yep, and head collar from a brazilian Space Walk correct? These will be discussed on the next video. The Volley Head pic was taken early on. Never had a picture of the ACD you used instead of Volley.

    Sure Shot 2 Reveal!

    #18 4 years ago

    The machine looks great Ken. The base cab black, which I think is unusual for an EM, gives the machine a certain elegance. Be very keen to see the pf.

    #19 4 years ago
    Quoted from wayner:

    Was thinking the same thing. But if you look at the shot of the back box, with the back board, the cabinets dark colour is green.

    Thanks guys. Base color is a semi-gloss Hunter Green. Bacially I was going after a modified Bank A Ball / Rack A Ball base color.

    Here is another Great Question. Are you going to add those famous Gottlieb labels for the switches and relays?

    #22 4 years ago
    Quoted from Darcy:

    The game has most of the new labels. Still a few more to print up, mainly for the underside of the playfield.

    Sure Shot 2 Playfield Reveal!

    #24 4 years ago

    Looking good Ken.

    #25 4 years ago

    Final reveal, congratulations.

    What will your next challenge be?

    #26 4 years ago

    Look forward to playing this at TPF!

    Thanks goldenboy232.

    Currently working out bugs. Already solved a 1/2 dozen yesterday, maybe about 4 or so left.

    Definitely the playfield will be back on the surgery table most likely tomorrow for some more custom rewiring.

    Next video will most likely be the last video before TPF that shows the machine finished and being played, with me explaining the Ruleset. Folks at TPF will then have a jump on what to do when they step up to the game.

    Hope you have a blast playing it.

    Quoted from Darcy:

    Thanks Darcy.

    Stay tuned with the next video of it being played.

    As far as the next project it really depends on what comes along locally and/or economically as I have several in mind, more SS to EM conversions, but availability of the machines is really what dictates what I do next.

    Dr. Frankenstein could not build his monster without the availability of parts and donors, same applies here as I depend on finding 2 machines to make 1.

    Preferably I would like to do another SS2 as I now have a clear plan as to the what, how, and the end product, but looking around TPF who knows what I will find, or not.

    Updated video. Sorry about the down time.

    Original one had to be pulled due to a scammer claiming copyrights on my video so he could post commercials.

    Game On Once Again!

    Certainly have some major talent there Ken. That game play looked great as well. Cheers!

    Definitely a fast and fun game. The Stand Up targets in place of the kickout holes really adds speed and more of a risk/reward feature as if you hit the targets at a certain angle it will come flying back at you and SDTM. Replaces the outhole 1" posts with mini posts as the ball was saved 75% of the time, now down to 50%. My goal was to make sure the game was balanced without blazing high scores like Pinball Pool which I accomplished. The game is now what I feel fair, not favoring the operator or player.

    Gottlieb Meter Blues.

    #41 4 years ago
    Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

    Gottlieb Meter

    On the outside casing. You did polish it? By hand, or buffing wheel? Or is just tumbled?

    Quoted from Darcy:

    Hey Darcy,

    Used a paper towel with rubbing alcohol first for the initial cleaning and to get off the sharpie writing. Then I used a paper towel and chrome polish by hand which was fast and easy peesy.

    Meter Madness Again!

    I've got a problem!

    Rollover Switch that is....

    Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

    Meter Madness Again!

    This was a timely video, as my Williams Skylab play meter is stuck. I got it apart and everything looked good, but it was jamming occasionally. I took your advice and avoided putting any lubricant on the metal actuator parts. Hopefully the cleaning I did with alcohol did the trick. Thanks Ken.
