#2300 5 years ago
Quoted from Atari_Daze:

Here is how I do it. Label baggie with number and description, take picture of said bag, then pics along the way (often of parts pointing to its respective mounting location), then images that appear between baggie pics is what goes into a folder labeled same as baggie, then when sorting images, each section of parts is then sorted automatically. This allows for easy storage on portable hard drive, and thus easy to find weeks or months later during re-install. Simply look for # in question of parts baggie.
(these are out of order as I've already been taking them off the camera but hopefully you get the idea)
Sorry to interject, please continue with your regularly scheduled programming HEP.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I use the playfield image from the manual, go to local printer shop and blow it up as big as they can print then I buy a ceiling tile or insulating foam board and put the image on top, then I put all the pieces on it to mirror the playfield. I only tumble a few areas at a time, as to not mix up the parts. Take lots of pics and notes too.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I have a small lot of cabinets I would like to get rid of.
They are STTNG ,MM
A really nice lower cab for T2 and BSD that has been decaled with gloss black powder coated trim.
[quoted image]
No pictures or packing and shipping just want to get them out of the way. if they were junk I would have done this with them.[quoted image][quoted image]

Wish I lived close, I would take that T2 cab.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

The Black hole shop out is complete.
Not sure if it is common knowledge but the replacement blue window I received did not fit
it was too big and had to be carefully shaved and shaped to fit.
I got that from Marco.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted

The windows are correct, it was variance in the playfields. I have shopped a half dozen Black Holes and only one replacement window fit 100%. The reat I had to shave down to fit.

Pin looks Great. I love seeing this era of pin working. Was always my favorite game.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

After the Black knight start button issue I am going to double check everything against the original before I proceed.
Did that and all is well.
I did need to make the swing panel holes but not a big deal. If any questions I would rather make them myself fresh than have to correct them.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I need a new cabinet for my High Speed. Who is your cabinet guy?

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

You talked me into it.
Will probably take me a while to work it into the mix.[quoted image]

Haha, I just bought the exact same setup after reading great reviews. Can't wait to see how you like using it.

#6582 4 years ago
Quoted from djb_rh:

Everything is great except weeding. Weeding sucks. I’m getting just old enough that my eyesight is slipping some and I like 1.25 readers when working with fine print. I found I *could* weed with those, but with some material still couldn’t see well. Got some 1.5 readers and BAM, now I can see. You need bright light, too. The cuts are just so dang tiny.
Anyway, it’s pretty good stuff. Be patient with the software and watch howto videos to get going and it’ll fall into place pretty quickly after some initial frustration.
And another tip...should you be inclined to try Heat Transfer Vinyl on shirts, know this: It seems very good and it is nearly as good as screen printing. But if and only if you get a heat press versus trying to iron it with a normal iron. That’s mostly what I got mine for and I’ve been very pleased with the custom shirts I’ve done. I never actually tried ironing as I heard it’s just not as good and presses aren’t that expensive.

Thanks for the tips

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Everything is in order on the HS cabinet [quoted image]
The issue with the original hinge is that it is flimsy.
Right after HS they switched to a thicker style that better distributed on the neck.
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
You can see how much thicker the hinges are.
[quoted image]
Double check the fit. All set.[quoted image][quoted image]

Chris,

Where can I get these hinges from?

#6861 3 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I would keep an eye on EBay.
That is where I found mine.

Thanks, will keep my eyes posted.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Speaking of the HS I built up a new door for that this morning.
The old door is trashed. [quoted image]
[quoted image]
I selected a Happ door because it has the same general slot layout and pattern despite the rounded corners [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

What are you doing with that old door and frame? Selling it?
