Curious how that could be a mistake. I suppose it's conceivable but c'mon - there is no way on earth if I am making a website to showcase my work that someone else's work ends up on my site.
(Topic ID: 52291)
Basements rock for sure. I have a HOA and have thought of putting in a underground bunker arcade in my backyard since building on top is forbidden.
Quoted from pinheadpierre:Curious how that could be a mistake. I suppose it's conceivable but c'mon - there is no way on earth if I am making a website to showcase my work that someone else's work ends up on my site.
He didn’t make a site. He uploaded a picture to CL. Heck, he could have done it from his phone from the camera roll and just picked something he saved for reference... I dunno.
BTW, if anyone here in NorCal (Sacramento area) is in need of Creature parts, I have some extra used but not necessarily used up stuff I'm looking to sell/trade/whatever:
Full ramps set. Some breaks but actually not bad, could be better than what you have if you're not springing for new ones. Bowl too.
Lagoon window. One busted tab, labels kinda dicey, but would polish up nice.
Pinbits halogen hologram light. New. Game came with 2 extras. Not sure why!
Pinbits pop bumper flasher kit. New. Ended up going with GI lit pops.
Pinbits Green Mirror. Installed, tried, removed. If you're the kind of guy who likes green light, you'll dig it.
Hit me up if any of this might help you!
If he took the picture down than I would say that's a good person for sure. Maybe he thought it would be innocent but you don't have to try so hard in this industry. I could fix pins all the time but I'm slow so always turn down work or refer to someone making a living at this. Always surprised at the lack of help for this.
I enjoy doing my own games. I wonder how I would feel doing others. I guess when I make a mistake during a swap I have to learn to live with it. When doing work for others, it’s often a high bar that you impose and mistakes feel worse.
But the though of retiring from tech and working on games all day does sound like fun 
When someone is paying the expectations go through the roof and understable. I too dream of leaving the rat race for pinball, but it comes with it's own problems. I enjoy keeping my games up and that's enough as well. I'm always learning and that is fun. Hats off to those who do a service to the world. I'm just glad to be independent of hiring someone for my own games. You put a lot of good help out on forums and I try as well.
Hay BenLogan.nice to see you guys here last week!! That Flipper room party looks like fun!! maybe I;ll catch you there in future!!
Can anyone recommend a tech in the bay area who is good with EM machines? My sister's surfer wont reset, and I am not there to troubleshoot it.

Quoted from RTS:There is also an ad posted on SFBay CL today by someone local to you, advertising restorations and pf swaps. I recall reading that some pinsiders vouched for him, although I can't find that thread.
I don't know this person. Just saw the ad. Maybe someone who knows him can chime in.
sfbay.craigslist.org link
Put away the pitchforks guys...Larry is legit and that BOP in the ad is the one he did for me. Full 2.0 Kit, including cabinet decals, clear coated PF swap, bunch of trick LED strips for the GI and ramp, etc. everything on it was brand new down the the ground wire.
He should actually post more of that restore
Anyone happen to have a System 6 "compatible" backbox for sale? It can be in rough shape, as long as it is generally not on the verge of collapse. I need a new one for Gorgar.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Anyone happen to have a System 6 "compatible" backbox for sale? It can be in rough shape, as long as it is generally not on the verge of collapse. I need a new one for Gorgar.
I have one. Currently have wrong one in my Gorgar lol. But I have a correct replacement, may be the incentive I need to finally swap them. PM me if interested
Quoted from Troutfarm:Greetings.
Looking for someone to take on a high end restoration that is beyond my skillset. I have a players condition Fathom. I also have a CPR gold Fathom PF that is on its way back from a long vacation at Ron Kruzman's house. I am also picking up a New Cabinet that is already painted and stenciled. So the majority of the work is going to be cleaning up all the existing hardware, boards, and wiring and moving it to the New PF and New Cab. One of the main things I am concerned with is the handling of the new PF, so having experience with cleared playfields is going to be a must for this candidate.
Ideally this person is in the SF bay area, but willing to travel south if the deal is right.
let me know if you are this person or know this person.
Thanks!
Thanks for all the replies, I had both of the mentioned people on my radar. There are pro/cons to everyone so its going to take a bit to thought. I am just trying to find the right balance of quality of work and cost.
Week, since the last request worked out, does anyone happen to have a working System 6 mpu and/or driver board available?
I've also got a populated Gulfstream playfield up for grabs. Make an offer/trade.
Bump for more pictures.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:Did someone here happen to get that free Torch that was sitting on a curb in San Francisco?
Yep Shon picked it up! (He's the OP with most of the machines at FGW, Brewcade, etc.)

Wanted to Trade
I would like to trade my Full Throttle + $$$ for your Batman 66 any version ($$$ vary with BM66 model)
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Avoid the $3800 Champion Pub and $6000 Batman 66 on Craigslist. Fake ads. Probably e-mail farming.
Thanks for the heads up
Quoted from BobC:I went to the event at the Flipper Room last night.
It's definitely a place you want to check out.
Seconded. Mike always throws a good party, even if I don't get to camp out on my favorites.
