I wanted to zoom in to get a good look at how the paint is setting. I’m liking it so far.

If I were you I’d give up now and just let me take it off your hands. PM me and I’ll arrange shipping.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

Why does your BG background look blood red instead of bright pink? Is that just the camera exposure or does yours really look that way? If so, I wouldn't be pleased with that at all. I love the bright pink...really makes the glass pop.

Pinside rule #8976 never openly comment on BGresto colors being off

Quoted from vec-tor:

Nails should be double or single fluted.

Where were you on post #310?

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

Here’s the results. I shot a spinner rip with my finger in slow mo. I counted about 75 spins. I think that’s good. Can I get 99? I’d like to. IDK.
I apologize for the video music. YouTube apparently does not like slomo videos & distorted the sound, I had to add something. Haha

I put some 3 in 1 on my Firepower spinner. Got a drip on a toothpick and applied an almost unmeasurable amount on each hinge and where the rod feeds through the playfield. Basically any place where 2 pieces of metal touch.

I ripped it with my finger about 6 months ago. It’s still spinning...
