    So you did have plans for that empty spot we created in your lineup! I would've helped you move but by the time I saw your call for help the round trip drive wouldn't have allowed me to get home in time to pick my kid up from school. I hope you're enjoying your new toy!

    Quoted from Kerry_Richard:

    MrSanRamon... did you get your MBr in and set up today?
    If so, curious what your thoughts are on it. Thanks! Kerry

    Game is beautiful and plays well. More comments in the owners thread.

    The plans were to set up and keep the Re-Themed "Whack-That-Mole" game in the house.

    Hope the ST is fixed and running well.

    All fixed! The center bank was just a couple loose connections that rattled loose in transit. For the funky led near the spinner I took the easy way out and replaced the board. Got a decent deal on one from a fellow pinsider who had one that he didn't need anymore. I'll be practising replacing those tiny emitters with the old board.

    Just a reminder, the Concord Selfie League December Finals are this Saturday. We will open at 10am for 2 hours of qualifying, and the Finals will begin @ 12:15pm. You can register, qualify and participate in Finals all on Saturday! Also, Future Spa, which is in the tournament, will be returning to the Pinball Pirate shortly after Finals concludes, so get your final Spa fix on!

    Anybody have a rivet press that can do ramp flaps? I have a WCS that I have new ramps for but need to drill off the flaps from the original ramps and attach them to the reproduction ones.

    Another heads up from The Flipper Room...

    We are hosting the 2019 IFPA California State Pinball Championship on Saturday. We will be OPEN for normal business with normal times, but the blacklight room (DMD room) and Early Solid State Room (framing showroom) will be closed off for the tournament. The 12 machines in those areas will be tournament only. This still leaves 17 machines in the rest of the place for you to enjoy.

    Come on down and play pinball in the presence of the best 24 players in the state. Maybe their juju will rub off onto you!?! But, please respect their privacy and let them focus on their task at hand...

    Is there anyone in the Santa Cruz area who could stop by a guy I sold a pin to and do a quick fix. I'm down in So. Cal and just had it delivered. Message me with any leads.

    I'd like to give a huge shout out to @fnosm. I live in So. Cal. and needed someone to visit and a customer in the Santa Cruz area that I sold a pin and fix an issue the pin was having. He immediately responded and solved the problem. He also gave the newbie customer a basic tutorial in how to troubleshoot and solve issues in test mode. This is what Pinside is all about. Reaching out to others they don't even know and offering help. I am grateful and hope I have the opportunity to return the favor to fellow pinsiders.
    Rock On Nor Cal Pinheads!!!

    Hi,
    Is anybody selling a sheet of non-reflective/HD glass (JJP Invisiglass, Stern HD glass or PDI) ?

    Quoted from Leo13:

    I've never even seen a sheet of the Stern HD. How does it compare with Invisiglass?

    #5281 5 years ago
    Quoted from imagamejunky:

    I've never even seen a sheet of the Stern HD.

    Then it's well made...

    #5282 5 years ago

    I have a sheet of Stern's Magic Glass on my DP/LE,it came with the pin! No difference that I can see! Works just fine!!!!

    Quoted from hawkmoon:

    That’s excellent. I love invisiglass and if Stern’s is comparable quality for a better price then that’s perfect.

    Anyone have a decent used WPC widebody lockdown bar kicking around that they'd like to be rid of? Doesn't need to be pristine but no rivets or bolts through it.

    I will check when I get home. I might have one from the IJ restoration. I can't remember if we replaced or re-plated the old one.

    my buddy wants to sell his DE hook in SJ. I will add pics later.

    Another friend contacted me 2 weeks ago and wants to sell a black knight, fireball, and a flash. He was working on restoring bk and flash(bought repro glass for them), but does not have the time to finish them. The fireball is more of a project. He was waiting for the BK board to come back from repair.

    Who else is getting excited about GSPF?!

    I'm extra excited this year. Kind of been on lockdown lately due to new baby, but told wife no way I'm missing this show. I will see you all Sat & Sun.
