here's the mission for the week end fellow norcal pin heads. there is a pizza place,bar,bowling alley etc near you that you have never been in or have not been in for some time. stop in this week end and see if they have a pin. pins have been popping up in new locations like crazy lately. if you find one post here and on the pinball map site so we can support location pinball. I will be out later checking 3 or 4 locations near me and I will report back. thanks fellow pinheads.

dropping in to say hello from Vacaville.

Sweating out in the garage working on my DW (Thank you Daniel for the parts!) while 2 racks of ribs slow cook in the smoker.

It has to be around 100 out today, and the garage is no different! (I really should be working on my Earthshaker, but got frustrated with the never ending issues so decided to swap it up!)

What is everyone working on today?

Staying COOL!

You bet!
My whole family is leaving for SoCal next week wednesday....Pin party? I got 2 I could rearrange the house for more. BBQ, grillin, beer swillin and pinball'N? maybe a couple more pins and it could be a make shift tourney just thinking BYOBP emphasize on the B buds, brews, bitches and BBQ and the P is for pinball you silly pill heads I know its short notice thinking friday saturday.....

I just finished up some mods on AC/DC, next up I am replacing a bad switch on LOTR. After that its a few glasses of Newcastle from the Keg

TFLE should be arriving this week. I'm hoping Tuesday. Tracking shows it in San Jose today.

Just got back from the Food Truck event in west Sac.Its was blazing.Working on my buddies Indy trying to finish the playfield.Def drinking some brews..Lmk if you need help bro

Just got done a very busy day selling organic mattresses that I manufacture locally. Going for a nice mellow bike ride with my two labs with little brother and let them swim a bit. Then back home to level TAF that I moved out of the dining room and into my garage that is not really optimum for leveling a pinball machine. Want to shoot some pool because I am sick of getting my ass kicked by my dad (30 years of crushing me is enough) damn pool shark.

If time I will than play some LOTR and figure out if I really want to sell it. All in a days work I guess.

I will be ok. Just replaced a bad BR for the lamp matrix, started rebuilding the flippers, and ALL 3 coils are heat stressed. The sleeves ain't movin

So I have to order 3 new coils, but waiting to check the other coils before I have to place ANY orders. SO close to finishing I can taste it, but still so far away!

My buddy is one of the owners of Sandwiches Coast To Coast. They also do the food at the Pourhouse downtown. I heard about the event, but decided to stay home and smoke a couple of racks of ribs.

I made a B line for the soul food truck so im stuff on ribs and jumbalaya.I decided to get a real powder coat job on my JD so im also stripping pait as well tonight

If you could at least spread the word for me to any of your friends or coworkers.This custom harley could probably be bought for less than what its listed for, they want it gone!! It has 20 miles on it.
PM me for any leads

Now back to pinball...

just finishing my tron added arcade mod(Starbase) and light cycles trying to have it done before daughters b day. Im just waiting for kim's reconizer mod. I am also getting ready to add hemi's new shoot to thrill mod to Acdc!

Uh, oh! Spots could fill up faster than initial MOPLE sales! It would suck if Justin had to call people a few days later and say, "Sorry, dude, I thought I had a spot for you, but you can't come."

Hey...wait a minute! Can we sell our spots if we get to be one of the 50!?

BWHAHAHAHAHA! Too funny Sparkster! I'm actually on my way to pick up a nice Sopranos in about 20min on my lunch break and then Metallica can't get here fast enough. This will pretty much complete all the pins I can fit indoors (and on 2 walls total):

Wall o' Stern - Sopranos, MOPLE, XM, SM, ACDC, Tron, LOTR, FGY

Wall o' Williams - MM, MB, W?D, JM

Then all the leftovers are getting shuffled into the garage e.t.c.

Glad you still have family guy miss that sucker sometimes. Want to play your mm and man badly.

Currently have 3 pinballs (ACDC Bib, Judge Dredd and a recently acquired Champion Pub). Add that to Ice cold beer game, ice cold beer (in fridge), Joust, Bubbles and 60in 1 arcade games, and i can almost justify a party. Pales in comparision to Kerry Richard who lives a mere 10 minutes away...he may have his WOZ by now...you out there, Kerry?

i would like to pre-order my reservation to Sac-town for Fattrains bonanza

Good! Cuz I just got it all dialed in (the MM). I actually had to remove the whole playfield backboard and slide out that ramp to heat/bend/mold it into a smooth shape to connect to the wireform. Works EVERY TIME now!

You're in! (I just gave away Sparky's spot, OoHhHhhHhh, hehe jk)

Going with pinwillie to meat worldofglenn today

I am going to "BUMP" this thread just because Nor Cal pinball people are so incredible!

is it time for CAX yet?

The Juice Shack in the Kohl's shopping center in Petaluma has a Bride of Pinbot. Also, I am looking for a B or C title as a third pin. I currently have an Addam's Family and a STTNG. I would like to get a Fishtales or HS2, or something that would work well with my current line up. I would really like to find a fixer as a project. I am sure everyone else around here is looking for the same thing though. If anyone knows of anything I am ready to buy!

jyfly, joining us tonight? Good thing you have a STTNG, cause mine is down until my aux board replacement shows up.

I was thinking about selling my Frankenstein, but I'm starting to get to the point were I've sunk enough coin into it, I better hold on to it for a while. I think I should put a BSD next to it. After staring at that big DMD, and playing Baywatch at PAGG, one of those would be nice too. Sigh.... when does the sickness end.... I hope not for a long time

I need to work on a dishwasher at my rental and move a tree after digging a hole with my tractor. I am not sure what time I will be done with that tonight. How long will you be playing?

You're going to MEAT him?!?!

WorldOfGlenn...do not bend over for ANY reason what so ever.

Says the sosage.

My garage game room is small, but complete finally. I would be willing to host a night of pins in a couple of weeks.

Sent the 20+JD parts to the PC place in Carmichael.Thanks again Sparky for the OJT on easy side rail removal.Summer is here time for BBQ brews and pins.My shack is going to suck this weekend.107 on Saturday

I don't have a ton of pins right now(about a dozen), but I would love to host something here. Let me try to pull something together in the next couple of weeks.

Sean

Thanks for having us over glenn!! We'll have to get together again in the future. great collection had a great time

It's pretty hard to keep up with that guy. Sounds like you've got a sweet lineup. Ice Cold Beer is super hard to find. I'd like to get a Budweiser Tapper someday.

Glad to hear you got the siderails off without any problems. Are you going with the same colr red? That was a nice color for the JD!

Very nice to meet you Glenn and thank you again for sharing your pins.

I think willie mentioned that to me. The elusive warehouse full of pins

I saw the listing at 11pm last night. Said he had 2 TW, asking $500, among others. Sounded too good to be true. Sent an email but never heard back. I don't see the ad listed anymore.

I saw it and replied, even though I'd bet 100-to-1 it was fake. You never know. I didn't hear back.

At $300-$500 per pin, including TAF and TZ x 2, I would've rented a storage unit and bought every pin!

Did anyone hear back?

I picked out a deeper red.little bit on the bloody side.I will shoot photos when its done.I was in Modesto today and stopped by funworks.Seems all the pins are gone,or did I miss a hidden room someplace.Also stopped by the bowling alley and saw what must have been the filthiest pins ever on route.If someone can confirm this please update the pinmap

So sad I missed the Petaluma get together had to work late. Hope I can get in on next time or open up my garage in the same way soon.

I sent an email from two different email addresses. I didn't hear back either. I said that I had cash in hand and could be there in 30 minutes. Sounds too good to be true, must not be true!

I wished you would have contaced me! I'm 10 minutes from Modesto, and I was home all day!

About two weeks ago, I bought two of the four machines at that Funworks, as well as one from the owner's house. There should have been a RCT and NASCAR still there, but maybe they pulled them to work on them, or they sold them to someone else. It sounded like the guy didn't want to operate any more pinball.

oh well bummer bro..I have an interview in Stockton on Friday.lmk if your around then bro

We're coming down there next starbase !!!

Aha! You're the one who got the STTNG! I was trying to get at one! :p. yeah, the RCT, and NASCAR were both bought by someone else a couple weeks ago, as well as the rocky and bullwinkle.....all were immediately put on CL, BTW.
