Only two of my games work right now.

2 cents for verification of what? Man, don’t take this the wrong way, but you are annoying as shit.

To prove it's you! I'm sure $100 even is a very common donation amount.

I do not take that the wrong way.

So what's this issue? You worried about someone rage tilting those at a show?

If something major was to break - I don't know to fix it.

Also - Demolition Man is too heavy to move. And, Jokerz only turns on when I go into the settings.

Once I get my EM working, I might bring that to Pintastic next year.

Does it say Adjustment Failure or anything? Assuming you have you replaced the batteries did you checked for damage from battery leakage?

Sorry, wrong thread for repair advice.

if we've learned anything from wantdataeast, fixing up your newly acquired machine is a great bonding experience

Dave - it does! I did replace the batteries, and did check for corrosion - didn't see any. I'll give it another once over, thanks buddy. (:

You're losing all of the settings in the RAM. Usually it means the power from the battery holder to the RAM but could be the RAM itself.

Now lets get back to making ourselves look bad to the rest of the world!

Can we get back to funny memes, please? This pinball repair discussion is totally inappropriate for the thread.

Sorry, I'd offer to shake your hand while apologizing but I don't take rejection well.

I would love to make memes and Gif the crap out of this thread but using MS-Paint looks like crap compared to some of the classic stuff we saw from ImNotNorm

But I did send my artwork plan to a few of the crew for getting some totes printed.

Agreed... never thought I’d say this about this thread or the previous Baywatch for sale thread... but this is getting way too serious!!

Ooooooooooo! Do tell.

That made me laugh. Good thing I don't care what strangers think of my "fashion sense."

Wearing his clothing backwards like Kris Kross, lol

That alien will be at my next pinball expo in some form.

Okay, so apparently there is a chatbot web site - demo.visualdialog.org - where you can upload a photo, the bot tries to guess what's in it, and then you can ask it questions about the picture and it tries to answer them.

I couldn't resist uploading a photo of our new favorite pinball machine. The results were...... interesting. Apparently, the bot believes that the imamaculate Baywatch is "a sign that says UNK UNK UNK on the side of it."

So it doesn't look like the Project Pinball/litograph/postcard crowdfunding thing is going to happen. To be honest, I'm not really surprised. But I am a little disappointed. I was hoping Mr WantDataEast turned over a new leaf, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

With that said, someone suggested to me an idea to raise a few bucks for Project Pinball and am wondering what you guys think. I accidentally ordered an extra parody baywatch/wantdataeast long sleeve shirt. (Size is XL)

I'm thinking of raffling off the extra shirt. Those who are interested can send Project Pinball a minimum donation of 5$. Once you sent the donation, please confirm with a PayPal receipt so it's verified that you actually donated. (Is this the best way to ensure donations were made?)

I'm thinking of setting the deadline for September 20th and then use a random number generator to choose the winner of the raffle. The shirt cost 75$ Canadian and I will ship to the raffle winner for free (as long as they live in continental US or Canada)

Below is a picture of said shirt (the white outline won't be on the shirt...thats just from the design page)

I have not received the shirts so don't go donating just yet. Once they arrive in the mail I will make the raffle official. I'm just throwing the idea out there first to see if it'll get traction and if there are any suggestions. Thanks!

Someone please start a ‘go fund me’ to buy this legendary immaculate machine. Would be a hit at shows! Seriously

Buy one now, these shirts are the next big thing!!

Update: was contacted by wantdataeast via PM and sent him the $5 for postage. Looking forward to getting (hopefully) the lithograph so I can frame and hang it in my new gameroom.

"Imamaculate".

Seriously I LOL'ed all the way through these "600 Play" threads. I had to wipe away the tears. These are the best threads I've ever read.

Hilarious (resized).jpg

It was funny the first 20 or so times, then it got a little played out.

Then it kicks into gear and gets funny again.

There was a South Park episode where Cartman had an alien satellite up his butt and they needed Kyle to trigger it with his finger. Every time his hand got close Cartman would give him a toot. It went on until it was not funny anymore. But then it kept going and Chef says "It's funny again". And it was. I think that is what happens here. Especially when a good animated gif or meme comes out. It tosses a fresh can of gas into the dumpster.

I think that without another crayon scribed legal document from Mr Dataeast, this thread will circle the drain and slip into the pages of pinside history...

Not if we keep seeing stuff of this quality-

Sorry for the delay I sent you the PM

Sorry for the delay all.... just catching up on posts now

Yes.
- The side art alone makes a Baywatch inappropriate for a children hospital.
1 - correct
2 - NO. the goal at $3299. If only $500 is raised that is fine. Who cares how much is raised? The more the better, it is a great charity organization. Everyone that donates at what ever level gets what they are promised.
3 - The "funded" part would be more for just throwing the actually pin out there as the stretch goal... at that point some could buy it or not. If someone wanted the pin at $3299 I would not be the one seeing that money from it, in fact i lose my initial investment in the machine (... "lose" is not really an appropriate word my initial investment become essentially donated.)
4 - correct

your follow up 1 & 2
1 - That is not gonna happen.
2 - I am not sure how the typically Kickstarters work but I would prefer to just ship weekly as donations were made. So everyone would see them being shipped. And clearly the bigger concern here would be that some random person, not me nor Project Pinball, would be getting the money. So it would have to be set up so only Project Pinball had access to the funds.

...again sorry for the slow response, very busy weekend.

I pretty much did not bother to delete it, but I will not re-up any such ad until I can see if there is any pinside interest on what I have proposed.

I just rejected to what seemed to be a serious request about the Baywatch from a semi-local person with a "Sorry man she is not available any longer". I am not going to make pitch for a charity then immediately sell it, unless of course the concept of a Kickstarter "has no legs". I can not do a Kickstarter on my own... no time. If there is no one to help on this, sadly it's not going to happen. And I will just be donating signed and numbered Survivor Lithographs per any $35 donation to Project Pinball (and a $5 via paypal to me for the shipping cost).

Yes correct. How much and why people raise money for a charity is not the point. It is raising it. I could not care less why someone would donate to a project like this. If there was limited edition of some tote bag, mug, T-shirt or whatever who cares if it moves any charity project forward.

Not to bust you pinballs any more. . . but I know you mean lose and not loose.

Agreed. What he said.
PM me and we can contact the Project Pinball folks and make it happen.

Until then $35 donation to Project Pinball and $5 to me for shipping gets you a Signed and Numbered Larry Elmore Survivor Print! ... and I will throw in a FREE Post card with tiny Roswell soil sample.

enjoy... friend.

Quite often passing a collection plate will clear a church revival tent... So I guess we will see.

Amen. Seeing that dude, or any dude, in drag is not a value-add.

OP, I have a simple question:

I realize the legs ARE included with the game but why not picture them too? Don't you think the potential buyer would want to SEE the condition of the legs for this BW in the photos?

Clearly this game has no legs. If anybody tries to convince you otherwise, including the current owner, be wary.

Don’t worry! It’s legs day at the gym!!!

I'm a little concerned about this "soil sample" you folks are going to receive.

Thanks for the response and posting here. Looking forward to the lithograph.

Your offer to donate your investment in the Baywatch pin is beyond what anyone would have guessed at the beginning of this thread and the Baywatch for sale ad. Very generous of you for sure.

If I didn’t already have a Baywatch lined up (my brother has one that he’s going to sell me for considerably less), I’d even consider donating to a good cause for the one you have. But only after seeing pics of the legs first.

If every Pinsider who contributed to the "imamaculate" thread (there are 296 of us) donated $11.15 apiece, we would hit the $3,299 goal.

Now I'm only speculating here, but if you can afford a pinball machine, or the ability to pay for dial-up Internet to read Pinside, there is no reason we can't hit this goal with ease.

And hey, who wouldn't want to see wantdataeast not see a penny from his imamaculate Baywatch pin?

The bigger question is, how do we get this fundraiser off the ground?

PM me your address. You are getting a free Post card for the pic in that post.

you know its not a scam for your address to sue you since you used the sunglasses version of the alien head

... it was the "leg day" reference and pic... priceless!

Been following since day one. This fellow kentuckian inspired me to make donation for litho and postcard. Good deal all around.
