    Quoted from klr650:

    I'm not terribly old, but I could certainly do without the "old-man" bashing in this guide. It completely detracts from your intent which, I assume, is to help people.
    Also, posting your age at the end of a guide? Dammit Otaku!
    Anyway, its a very good start, look forward to seeing the final version.

    ...................Imagine A few changes to the Lyrics and you could have Otaco's pinball fixing guide song.......

    original lyrics :

    "Hey Nineteen"

    Way back when
    In Sixty-seven
    I was the dandy
    Of Gamma Chi
    Sweet things from Boston
    So young and willing
    Moved down to Scarsdale
    Where the hell am I
    Hey Nineteen
    No we can't dance together
    No we can't talk at all
    Please take me along
    When you slide on down

    Hey Nineteen
    That's 'Retha Franklin
    She don't remember
    The Queen of Soul
    It's hard times befallen
    The Soul Survivors
    She thinks I'm crazy
    But I'm just growing old

    Hey Nineteen
    No we got nothing in common
    No we can't talk at all
    Please take me along
    When you slide on down

    Nice
    Sure looks good
    Mmm-mmm-mmm
    Skate a little lower now

    The Cuervo Gold
    The fine Colombian
    Make tonight a wonderful thing

    The Cuervo Gold
    The fine Colombian
    Make tonight a wonderful thing

    The Cuervo Gold
    The fine Colombian
    Make tonight a wonderful thing

    No we can't dance together
    No we can't talk at all

    Just substitute the basement saga, some pinside calamities and mix.... could be quite a tune.

    IE: " file the points a little slower now " instead of Skate a little lower now.... " Make repairs a wonderful thing "......

    Wasn't a haircut - I still might donate for that myself.

    It's great Steven is 19 now, in just a couple more years and he can legally drink all that Budweiser in his Grandma's basement.

    From an old guy to a young guy though - don't drink it Steven - Bud is poohy stuff. I wonder if you can use it to clean pinball legs ?

    This "guide" has quite a different writing style with some amusing or aggravating side dialog depending on the reader, but I'm sure there just might be a morsel or two even for us old farts .... Thinking I'll still stick with Clay's guide though for reference.

    He will probably say it's in another account or such. Tough to make that wash. At best any rhetoric looks very awkward. Returning all the funds is probably the only way to save any face at this point.

    Probably all water under the bridge anyhow, or water under the pins as was the case made in the plea for funds. Tough to back peddle or paddle now.

    Returning money to those that request it would be a good gesture.

    You might Consider cleaning up the extraneous writing in your guide.

    Nice thoughtful post Dooskie. If taken to heart your advice would probably go a long way.
