You need a Traeger. Let me know when you are ready, I have a connection.

So with that in mind you should do an updated restore on the first machine you ever owned, no charge! When can I drop it off? LOL.

Data East did I believe 7 proto POTOs. One of which housed 9 Bose speakers in the cabinet and I believe 5 in the backbox. They used a sound board out of a video game to run it, unbelievable. I wonder why it never made it to production LOL. I thought you were going to get it years ago. I guess you never saw it? HM collection.

Congratulations to Curtis and his new family. I remember the days when my son and I would stop by, they would look each other up and down, Curtis had a football and without words they disappeared, later to find them tossing the football in the street. That same day I loaded a CH restored TZ for $3000. Time flies.

#6170 4 years ago

As DJB stated I think I have had the glass off my CH restored TZ once in 15 years. Even in the early days they played great and still do to this day. Oh I will tell Vic your coming so he can move the u haul and you can have a place to park. LOL.

I am tired of seeing pictures of pinballs. Let’s see some pictures on the elliptical bike or even better the YZ. I know you have some kind of new toy down there. What about the freestyle bike, didn’t I see an ole school Haro down there? Let’s build a quarter pipe!

Did you by chance take any pictures of the front radcal alignment issue? Mine have the same problem, Mirco is willing to help, just needs some pictures. I folded mine back up to finish an Addams.

#7284 3 years ago

Forwarded the pictures to Mirco, I ran into the same problem. I folded my IJ back up. I would like to take advantage of the buy (3) get (1) free on the IJ’s. I will drop it off tomorrow, assume it will be ready by the weekend? LOL.

#7327 3 years ago

So much for that run yesterday. That looks great.

#7369 3 years ago

You need a plastic set for the Earthshaker?

#7391 3 years ago

Hope you had on your garlic necklace.

You keep picking up these exercise type bikes, what about a 2019 Haro Master re-release. I will build a half-pipe in the back of my shop, you in?

Disappointed no snow pictures. Curtis did not take that little lady out for her first snow? Here in the Carolina’s first sign of snow and everything shuts down, milk and bread are at a premium.

Curtis makes all the color and design calls, do not let him tell you guys different.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Yeah. I know people can’t resist. I already know exactly what I am doing and how it will go.

No tennis today? Nice day for it.

Old shop, 10 years ago?

#9377 2 years ago

HEP warehouse sale? As they say in the surfing world Locals Rule!

#9394 2 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Managed to squeeze a couple others out at the same time. I think I have like four playfield only jobs left around here and when there done that’s it.
Absolutely no interest in providing that service any longer. I get lots of inquiries and had to just stop replying to them because I can sometimes be suckered into it again every so often.

I am still trying to figure out how I can sucker you into painting my Grand National. This pinball stuff has to dry up one day and I will be standing there with the keys and a Tootsie Pop.

Frame off coming this winter. Still trying to figure out how I can get CH in the big booth.

I had a few sample Earthshakers come through the shop back in the golden years. One had a head that was almost like a light blue and the body was a regular blue, the other one was that real light blue both body and head. I think you or Donnie got that one. I remember it was really ugly and the spiral in the front was different or something. Ring a bell?

I was thinking the same thing. I have had my hands or eyes on a lot of pins, but never seen or played a SOF in the wild. Definitely have to pop in to see the finished product.

I bet that TOTAN was the one Fernando had from the container that sat in port forever. I looked at a bunch of the machines and they were just too far gone. I think Matthew (The Director) bought it and got rid of it.

I may come over, sit down and watch you tru up those wheels. It can be frustrating. I used to do all my own wheels on my freestyle bikes. I can share a few secrets. Call me.

#10871 2 years ago
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

I've been into road cycling for several years and have done my fair share of truing bicycle wheels (whenever I talk about twisting nipples, it usually invokes a snicker or even outright laughter). Anyway, I was wondering how difficult/easy it is for you to true spoked motorcycle wheels given how stiff they are compared to a bicycle. Also, what is your process - do you eyeball it, have a tool/jig? Just curious.

You first have to find true center, from there you lace and then tru. Finding true center is the hard part. It is all done on a jig.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I looked into having them made but no one seemed to have any interest.
That’s something I really think is off about the current parts market. They make so much stuff no one really needs or wants but when you approach them about a real need they are not interested.
Usually if I need something then it will be a good seller because I will either need it often or adopt the part into my standard procedures.
We definitely need these sockets. Alternatively I use staple downs but it is much more time consuming.

Did you approach Terry at PBL?

That squirrel looks like the one that was in the shed. Curtis wanted nothing to do with him!

I labored today, can I come eat?

#13048 7 months ago

I would prefer to see a little more wildlife, buts that’s just me.

#13057 7 months ago

We were struggling a little bit and let this guy play through.

WH2O Solenoid harness is done.
Playfield is in the cabinet.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I am surprised after all these years your have not made a jig for wiring harnesses like they used in the factory. They were so crude and simple, 4-8 sheet of plywood with screws and scribble.

I have some Whirlwind stencils if you need them, just let me know.
