So I finally bought my first pin, Fish Tales, three weeks ago and wanted to give thanks to all for the info I was able to get from this site, including finding the person I bought the machine from. Game plays great, no playfield wear, but I have done slight adjustments to the machine; ramp to reel alignment so the balls dont get hung up; flipper adjustments; and unplugged the fish so it does not scare the heck out of the dog (and me) every time it flaps.

I have a box coming today with replacement bulbs, ground braid wire (to jump where it was cut in 2 spots), new topper dome (cracked it when putting the legs on and the shrinkwrap tore and the head came crashing to the ground) new rubbers, some Novus 2 and mill wax. Wish me good times tonight/tomorrow that all works when I am done.

Carnauba wax it will be then. Thanks.

Thanks all. yes, great game and hard as heck, expecially with the lightning flippers, should keep me busy for a long time. And yes luckily for me I do have space and money constrictions so until i can convince the wife to take one of the dressers out of the spare room or I get rid of my Brunswick Gold Crown 1 (not happening) this will be my only, for now.

Thanks for all the great words out there. Me and wife played about 2 hours last night and she got her name up for the most lies and she was super excited. We have a long way before 1.38B but hopefully one day. Started taking sections off last night to start cleaning the playfield and replacing the rubbers but got a little too drunk so will hopefully finish before weekends end.

-cheers to all.

If a brunswick gold crown is a pool table, you might as well list it on craigslist now.....3 pins could fit there! I USED to have a 125 gallon fishtank and a fooseball table in my basement...buh bye once the pin bug bit

Yes that is a pool table and I will get rid of dining room table before I ever get rid of that pool table... from picture you can see why.

I am actually having some difficulty on the long cast does not always registering, It will register on the opening skill shot, but during a ball (when long cast is lit) or feeding frenzy it only registers 1 of maybe 3 times? I pulled off and reconnected the wire... any suggestions?

- Thanks.
