Bally, 1998Nice beer choices tonight Chris. I am into beer two for the evening but won’t go to three as that would cause me to overpay for things.
I am finding out here on the west coast two interesting phenomena. If I really want something interesting I need to buy a 22 but there are a lot of great day to day drinkable beers in cans now..whoda thunk it.

Today is the wife’s 43 birthday. She is out getting her hair done.
I knew to get the workout over with first thing this morning.
I am going to put this out for fun above all else.
Still pictures do not always capture the moment around here.
This is the workout I threw together for myself real quick this morning.
It is meant to focus primarily on my functional movements and core.
Things that are most beneficial to everyday life not seeing how much weight I can lift,crunch or starve my way to a six pack or how long I can run for.
Those are goals based on other disciplines.
I am really into quality of life and always aim to eat,drink and exercise to enhance that in one way or another.
The workout

What’s a landmine?
It is fixed swivel joint for a barbell.
I have mine buried with the dumbbell rack and kettlebells. 6D46AB2E-B546-41AC-B71F-01167923AF75 (resized).jpeg

That is phase one
This is final phase 3 designed to get my heart rate up a little bit at the end but still focus on functional movement.

Slam ball
What is s slam ball?
It is a ball full of sand that does not bounce the idea is to slam it hard enough to make it bounce and catch it before it hits the ground.
This one is 35lbs but they make them in all weights. 180CEC30-34BF-464D-AAE1-C8C3240DBADA.jpeg

Now that we did that we check our efforts.
For the type of workout it was it was pretty good overall

Post workout meal.
Eggs for protein
Peanut butter bananny for carbs etc.

So there it all is. That is what happens once a day around here in the background or something like it.

The big question is, can anything be done about the hair loss?
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:The big question is, can anything be done about the hair loss?
In this day and age I bet it could but for me I don’t even want to get a flu shot let alone let someone hack away at my scalp or wear a rug so I can totally live with it.
Besides what do I need hair for?I already have a lovely wife and a hat if it’s cold outside 
The switch harness on this game has a set of wires taped off. image (resized).jpg
The wires are green/red and white/brown
I will need to look at the manual to see where they should go. It is very possible that with this being a sample game that they do not go to anything.
Will have to wait a minute though because mama is home with bundt cakes.
image (resized).jpgGo to the file cabinet and pull the Whirlwind file.
Old school.
image (resized).jpg
In these files will be manuals pictures etc.
TOM for example. image (resized).jpg
image (resized).jpg
I like these files way better than looking at pics on the computer or anything else because it is a much easier and quicker visual reference.
Whirlwind manual shows that the combination of taped off wires intersect at position 9
image (resized).jpg
That is not used. Hmm?
Now I am curious if those wires are either present or used on the prototype Whirlwind.
Nope same thing there but taped off
It is in the trough area so I wonder if they initially planned it to be a 4 ball game?image (resized).jpg
The prototype originally had a 1 ball sticker that was manually changed to 3
Maverick is on squirrel patrol.
He wants so badly to get to the squirrels he sees running around in the backyard
It starts with begging us to open the blinds

You hit the nail on the head Skip.
He is winding down.

Does taste good though.

Looks good.
I try to pick themes for my beer choices of the day.
It can be random or inspired by the strangest things.
I hadn’t heard from Bryan in what seemed like quite a while.As soon as I saw him pop in I knew what the beer of the day should be and put it in the fridge.
It’s ready

Awesome. Are those the original decals on the ramp? If not, where did you get them?

I heard that, asshole!
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:I heard that, asshole!
Moderator please Moderator 3 day ban is needed!!
I think Bryan_Kelly is just upset that it's not a IPA!
Although I do agree on his taste of Spotted Cow!!
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Always figuring anyone that really studies what I do and gets it will either hire me or out of inspiration try to do it themselves.
No downside in my mind to either scenario.
Or BOTH!
Looking at the pictures of my previously done Radical Prototype looks like I need a subway of some sort. image (resized).jpg
Using the manual I can figure out the wiring
Looks to be solenoid 3A
image (resized).jpg
That would be controlled by 1P11-4(gru/orn) CPU,Q32 transistor Violet/orange wire. image (resized).jpg
Wiring that up from head to solenoid is not a problem. Question is will it work in code?
Looking a little deeper at my last Prototype Radical
I can see more such as wire colors and popper alignment.
image (resized).jpg
I can also see my brothers fat foot (RIP)
image (resized).jpg
This picture must be at least twelve or more years old.
I see enough there to understand how to do it mechanically and within wiring.
Removingthe stationary target and flasher placedin the drop hole.
5E2C84F5-ECDD-4417-829B-63F0987BC0AA (resized).jpeg
The target removed has a green/red and white/gray
B59EED14-A2AD-4BE4-9B41-D4523D545ED4 (resized).jpeg
Looking at the manual this is the same wire combo used for the popper switch so this part should just be a matter of relocation of these wires to the popper switch.
8670D966-749A-4EC8-9A66-AFA6473706F7 (resized).jpegWhat about a subway?
I like this old Dr who ramp for repurposing.
63D75B31-B46F-46CB-A513-1597A21A225B (resized).jpeg
It has a fairly straight run and a hole that should clear the popper. 39E55F3F-3C09-4A95-B1D4-D6F8CFE87FB5 (resized).jpeg
It will need some modifications but really looks useful

The curve in the Dr ramp was to much so the ball was too slow at times.
image (resized).jpg
I had a new WH2o subway at the warehouse
I cut that down and drilled a hole for the popper.
Riveted a left over EATPM deflector bracket and now I have a nice factory looking trough.
I made cuts to clear any bulbs or mechs.

Trough is placed
So is the popper.
image (resized).jpg
Popper is wired to the snake run target bank.
It is the only thing that fires consistently when the switch is activated with the code installed in the game.
image (resized).jpg
I did try wiring per factory and it worked /fired the coil in test mode in the correct spot noted not used but doesn’t register in game play.
Quoted from Balaraform:Chris is that the whirlwind I dropped off at your shop back in April I think?
Yes that is it. Or it was depending on how you look at it. 
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Wireform installed
[quoted image]
Ball dropped.
[quoted image]
Works!!
[quoted image]
I don’t know this game, or the corresponding prototype feature you just fixed, but from the pictures it looks like a great way to destroy the play field. Am I correct in thinking this just fires the ball into the play field in the same spot every time?

It actually feeds and drops on the ramp and the goes to the playfield.
I will definitely put some Mylar down on all ball drops when I am done.
First step was getting in there and working now I will tear it all down and start the true process.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Celebrate with my second best girl

Interesting beer choice, Chris. I love a good chocolate stout.

I'd actually rivet a piece of stainless on the ramp at the ball drop location, or that ramp may crack from impacts.....
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:The big question is, can anything be done about the hair loss?
just because bryan and mr. shatner go to the same "wig" guy, he thinks he's big stuff
what I'm waiting for is chris to start a 2nd job and find him showing up on everyone's peloton bike as the [mean] coach
