I'll never deny that I redid Hercules to show it. Nobody will argue that it is a great player but I will argue that it is just so damn odd it's cool. The problem comes in that it is just sooo BIG it literally takes four guys to move it. I've only taken it to the Texas Pinball Festival because I know I have solid help to move it there. The huge bitch is just a burden to move, well I fixed that tonight.

Been saying I would do this for a long time and finally did. I made a nice little jig to straddle the "bomb bay" doors (as they are affectionately called) out to the support rails underneath the cabinet. It is designed to fit over a harbor Freight 500lb dolly and has cleats so even it you hit something that stops the dolly the jig won't slide off the cart. Works really well.

I actually like the play of it and it has a rule set, multiplier, extra ball and you have to shoot it pretty well to put any kind of score up. If you go into it opened minded and play with a few friends it is a great time.

Hmm...hadn't thought of that.

I haven't decided. Brian really wants Hercules but I don't want to pull the big trailer and Hercules takes up 2/3 of the small trailer which would limit what else I could bring. Varkon is much easier to haul and doesn't take up near the space. Maybe do a poll to see what the attendees want, or if they even care?

She loads right up now. I can't remember what movie it was from but every time I move it in my mind I keep saying "that's a huge bitch". Might have been from an Adam Sandler movie.

Since you asked. Here is a shot someone sent me from TPF 2013. herculestpfright.jpg

That is correct, and he did varkon for I think $500. I think I've worn out my welcome though, not sure I will get the same great deals again.

And when Ron is done you are selling me the extra playfield so I can have him do one for me....Right!! Not to worry I will get the one I swap out to you so you can still have a wall hanger.
