I can totally see this little guy having a successful modeling and/or acting career.
Quoted from cosmokramer:I have compressor envy....
I was thinking the same thing! What is that, like $7K?
Quoted from meSz:Chris which u prefer KBS is CBS?
This years KBS seems better than last years based off memory.
CBS seems to be a little smoother though.
Microwave stops working
Pull it off the wall and put it on the temporary work bench 9F8FA44C-21D6-4B32-A22E-7C4FF699AD45 (resized).jpeg
Open it up. 4B682FAB-5B14-483D-9653-3BD9D2A2EEB4 (resized).jpeg
It is likely just a switch.
There are three one is tied to the light which was working so rule that out, the other looks to drive the timer which is working.
The upper is believed to handle the heat and turn table which are not.

Clean and blow it out.
Remount microwave.
All is well. Cost $0
New exact replacement $750 plus tax.
Quoted from jasonp:Your clocks are off by 1 minute .. Im sure you fixed that by now
Time for a new battery and mount it off the board.
LTG : )
Quoted from bintzknocker:HEP - aka HEM. High End Microwaves
I missed the post where the parts for the microwave were tumbled, spray painted some awesome colors, and other parts sent off to be plated.
I'll bet the wiring is a lot neater than the factory if nothing else...
Quoted from NYP:Ahh thumblers tumblers! Nice and quiet! 10,18 or 45?
18, Thumlers is the only way to go. I love mine.
Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:18, Thumlers is the only way to go. I love mine.
Definitely pricey though. My dillon cv-2001 crapped out after many years so I tried the thumlers uv18 because I hoped they were quieter, they definitely are but not as big as the dillon. Not sure of they perform any better but time will tell, just got it. I'm splurging for the UV 45, hoping I can do bigger parts in it. Wish I had a bead blaster like Chris but haven't figured out what they work best on.

After years of trial and error I settled on the Thumlers about 10 years ago.
The 18s are the most universal.
I have killed numerous Dillons and even two Thumler UV 45s so I gave up tumbling parts that large and just have those nickel plated or manually polish them myself.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Shelf and screen blocks are up.

Now I understand what screen blocks are.

I'm going to pretend I didn't see how that compressor is wired.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:I'm going to pretend I didn't see how that compressor is wired.
Actually wired better than it was in the utility closet
Quoted from PantherCityPins:Any source for the Whirlwind apron cards? I’d like to put them on mine.
Tell them HEP sent you.
Ready to start stripping the IJ playfield. This one is really rough in the wiring. Everything was spliced inches from the source.
This is a prime example of a restoration that actually did more damage than upgrading.
Looks great! What happened with all the different coin door paint options? Looks like just a slate grey.
Quoted from fossmin:Looks great! What happened with all the different coin door paint options? Looks like just a slate grey.
It just has some subtle blue snd light gray speckling. The base gray is the same gray used to paint the art so it all kind of gels together.
I didn’t want to make it a focal point.

It amazes me that people go through all of that, including heat shrinking the splice and yet cant be bothered to use $6 stick soldering iron to swap things out correctly.
