My first EM. Stoked to finally have some bells and chimes ringin round here.
ALL THOSE DROPS WOW..
I know it's not as sexy as El Dorado, but it's not as pricey either.
Will I be ok bringing this back 4 hours in a small trailer? I'll throw 3 layers of carpet padding down but I'm gonna be nervous as hell ridin it back there.
Anyhow looks like there's gonna be a few Target Alphas at Expo. Please death save on Todd's, not mine, thanks.

Who can consistently knock down 15 on one ball? What's your personal record?

Thanks Buzz.
Really excited to bring in an em, especially this one.

Thanks for the tips gents. Yeah I was gonna ride the head in the suv. I also know I'll be adjusting switches when I get home, think I can handle that.
Schudel you've been on Pinside for 15 years. WOW.
It'll prob take me that long to knock all 15 down on one ball lol.

This made me laugh out loud. HA! Thanks Chuck. Always look forward to hanging with ya again. See ya soon bub.

Also....big thank you to Slim64 for hookin me up with a great game/great deal.

I think only fancy pantsy El Dorado does that.
Just keep rubbin it in Civ.
Hell I ain't even technically bought it yet, but
WTT: TA for ED

OD my bruh as always, I greatly appreciate yer advice. Although I don't know seller, he's been here as long as me and a "familiar face". He sent me pics of two machines, and the Expressway he has is absolutely gorgeous. Target Alpha more players, but still in what looks to be real good shape. I can tell he takes good care of his games. I don't have the eye/experience to buy an em off of Craigslist Kenny. This seemed to work out perfect.
But still great advice nonetheless, thanks mang.

Can't believe you put those on JD.
How many times has NimbleNuts woke up and found out you put 2" flippers on all his machines?

LOL

I'd drive over and get it but I need a damn steering wheel too.

We in the killin nazi and also part time Kentucky junkyard parts pullin business, and cousin, business is a BOOMIN

Huh. Never thought about that OD. Obviously the more players you add, the more reels etc you're adding which equals more work.
Are single player EM's more sought after because of this? Looks like in this case, it certainly would be. But are 4 player EM's too much maintenance?

Can you see New Richmond OH from where you're sittin? I can, almost.

I could not ask for anything greater on a Fri night than my thread being derailed by, ironically, an old steering wheel. OD get a plane ticket to Expo goddamit.
Cheers assholes.

Good buy?

Riff raff?

Bon looks like yer uncle Larry that just pulled up to the family reunion on his Kawasaki 500.

That really is the greatest ACDC vid ever.

Guess what OD I can play both those tracks simultaneously which is what I'm doin right now. Kinda sucks.

Here's what's goin on tonight

WELL LOOKIE THERE!
JJ is one of the coolest cats I know. He'll take care of you and yer raggedy ass steering wheel OD.

Jerry is a fuckin master craftsman. And his boy is just as talented. Love that asshole.

Jerry I know yer old ass is already in bed, but I need a new Sinbad cab. You start it yet?

OD I am only a week away from admission. Pickin er up at Chicago Expo next Thurs. Pretty doggone stoked about it too.
How did I make it 5 years with NO EM'S???
Time to put an end to that nonsense.

Also...congrats on that pos steering wheel.

Ok RD, I'll talk to mamma tonight. See if I can't make it for a couple days. With a 2 yr old, goin anywhere is tough. That's why I just stay in my basement, where the beer and the death metal are both ice cold.

Well my other two are 14 and 9. Izzy was a post-cruise surprise. And at 41, motherfucker was I surprised.

You're not gonna put my Kruzman pf on that ill balanced rotisserie are ya?? Jam a fuckin cleate on there ffs.

LOL

I can do the 1st round of sanding and bondo.
I'm sure it won't be up to yer high standards asshole. And that's why yer the perfect man for the job. Ill text ya tomorrow about it.

I heard the TA vault is gonna have 2" flippers and reels that never need worked on.

LOL

MY GOODNESS Nimbleswill that pic got me mouth waterin like a sprinkler. I gotta make this happen.

NimbleSWILL

New phonebooks get there?
WindingSkeletalEthiopianwolf-size_restricted.gif

Jerry grab that for ya? Guess he's only 97% asshole. Huh. Never woulda guessed.

It's gettin spitshined by Slim right now. Will get to death save that fucker all night on Thurs.
One of these years you need to make it out to Chicago Expo OD. I have a coat to loan ya.

LOL.
The Corolla is the tank of the small car world, I'll give ya that. Pretty much unstoppable. Unless ya hit a screen door with it.

I see woodrail cabinet repair in the near future.

I gotta get out there mang. Old surfer that says fuck you to LA trends I'm afraid I might not ever leave bruh.
Hails to the OD!

That stupid Beach Boys pic reminds me of somethin.

Well, Target Alpha made it through Expo with only being down Thurs night. Still not sure why it wouldn't start a game, but Fri morning it fired right up.
Was really concerned about gettin her home, as I clearly have no experience with em's. Gotta start somewhere! She made it, got her set up on Mon and honestly, just played Maiden for the first time last night. TA is addictive as hell. Pure pinball magic. I love this machine.
Question: this morning I rolled the score for the 1st time, ended up at 123,790. How do you know, if you're not playing, that it rolled over? Is there something I'm missing that proves this? Also...what is the little 2 in the bottom box on bg?
Might just go on an OD craze and replace all these Stern's with em's lol. Already thinkin about my next one, but extremely happy to be bangin on this one.
YAY TARGET ALPHA

Welp, has been playin great since Oct now all of a sudden it won't power on. Dead as Jerry Garcia. Nothin, nada, zilch. Don't have any idea where to start. Yes I checked the cord and the outlet it's plugged into...all good there. Hope this is simple, like me.

Thanks Mike.
They speak English in What?
Honestly I have no idea what you just said, but I do have the schematics for this so looking them over now trying to translate.
Thank you for yer reply.

Twas just a fuse fellas. It's alive!
The main power 5 amp slo blo to be exact.
Thanks for all your tips though, gracias.
