Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Special Whirlwind is coming along.
I thought I would finish it today but turns out the supplied new plastic set” is a junk acrylic version that snaps into pieces far too easily.
I believe these were made years ago by Phoenix Arcades as indicated by the blue film on there.
A new decent set is needed so I just ordered that. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I think it's awesome that you take such pride in your work that before you install a set of plastics you try and snap them in half to make sure they will hold up.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Continued with fresh copper river King and Brussels sprouts.

My wife picked up some Copper River salmon last week. Looked in the fridge and saw a $102 package ($39.99/lb) of salmon and almost killed her. On a side note, it was delicious and there is more in the freezer for later.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Thanks a lot to the vendor that sold me this lousy crap! It was totally worth what I paid.

Any chance you might share who sold you that lockdown bar? I didn't have the greatest experience when I had TWD power coated and was looking to find someone else for my incoming BM66. I don't want to use whomever sent you that crap.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

“Who do I make the check out to?” i.e not cash!!

The big question is, did it bounce?

#3617 4 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

When it comes to the business side I learned a lot of hard lessons the first few years.

I've been running my side business for almost 15 years and I'm still learning hard lessons. It's not as easy as some people might think trying to run your own business. My favorite saying is "The only constant in business is change".

I have to say that you do phenomenal work. Your attention to detail is unmatched, but with that said, I don't know if I'd ever be able to send you a machine. Not because I wouldn't love to have one of mine re-done, but I'd be afraid to touch the damn thing for fear of screwing it up.

#3955 4 years ago
Quoted from pzy:

I wouldn't be - Chris rebuilds these machines to be played, they probably stay pristine for more games than anything from a factory.

I didn't mean it that way, I meant I'd probably scratch the cabinet, spill a beer on it, or do something else stupid.

Can someone explain "guide coated" to me? Pretend I'm an idiot when it comes to painting with anything other than a roller and some latex paint.

#5322 4 years ago

Every time I see the flights, I think of this....

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

These are always a pain to pick out of the tumbler then a pain to pick the media out of.
That was solved with some simple zip ties.

You do realized that half the forum just sh*t themselves for never having thought of that before?

Quoted from AUKraut:

You got the wrong neighbors....if I lived next door to you you'd have to run me off with a stick!!!

I'd be camping out in the driveway with some beer waiting to help play test.

Whoa! I just had to put these side by side. That's some Voodoo right there.... Is that really the same play field?
