    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Flaky lamp sockets begged for the “tip solder” trick.

    Hey Nic, fun reading your adventures, and thanks for the lamp socket tip solder trick, I had not seen that before reading it here, but worked great to fix up a flaky light on my Joker Poker (ss version) last night. I'll say hi and thank you in person if I see you at NWPAS.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    ...aaand soon we will begin the final segment: REGION 5 - Southwest Return
    Short but sweet!

    Oh, I see Tucson on the route, hopefully that means Pecos' Palatial Pinball Parlor!

    That is one awesome warehouse of goodness, thanks for sharing!

    Quoted from Heretic_9:

    I hate to rain on anyone's parade -- and of course this is much easier for US to say in most of Cali, where eclipse totality will not exceed 60 % -- but I think most folks will get better views of this on tv. The worldwide professional major media will have the best equipment, and the best vantage points. Add in high-def, which most people have access to these days. You'll get to see this over and over again, from every which way there is. I'd probably say something similar for a Super Bowl or World Series Game 7. You would see much more, in much greater detail, than if you were actually there. And you wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of huge crowds and terrible traffic. Yes, there is an excitement and a "historicity" (if that's a word one might coin here) that could only be had live, but it's a trade-off.

    Gotta really disagree on this, there is no way the TV no matter how high-def can replace the eerie feel of everything around you going dark, just can't do it. Plus, all those replays and details will still be able to be watched later, or hell even at the same time if you want. There is simply no-trade off to going to where it is, as you still get everything else.

    Quoted from Heretic_9:

    A homebrew title I'd not heard of shows up occasionally on the Pinside main page -- such as "Forbidden Planet", recently. So far, TNA goes unmentioned at IPDB. Is this pin actually being manufactured & sold -- at all ? Interesting YT video. Would have liked to see some close-up gameplay views included though.

    And you are probably the reason we can't get "normal" fries at Arby's any longer.
