Hey, y'all. I became a first time pinball owner a few weeks ago. We owned Roller Disco when I was a kid for many years but I just recently picked up my favorite pin... Haunted House. I quickly found Pinside. I am always reluctant to ask questions in forums because it has been my experience over the years that many forums are full of rude people who think their stuff does not stink and you are just a moron wasting their time. Pinside has not been this way. While I have not made a ton of posts those that I have made all the replies have been kind, courteous, respectful, and most of all helpful.

The pinball community has thus far been a pleasant experience and I am grateful to now be a part of it.

Thanks!

LOL the one I picked up was "not working" but I quickly fixed all issues save L19 would not work and there was no battery/capacitor to save scores. Well... it would not reliable boot after I soldered on a supercap. Even after I removed the supercap it would not reliably boot. I thought I might have perhaps loosened the EPROM so I removed it and without thinking put it back in.... upside down .... Yup bricked it! I have a Pascal board on the way and will get the OG boards rehabed as backups. I am also going to attempt to reburn the EPROM or buy used ones and burn them.

This was my absolute favorite machine growing up. I would play it all the time at the skating rink in my home town. I would like to find Roller Disco again for nostalgia reasons. I have found I enjoy working on them almost as much as playing them. I would like to buy another that is in need of some repair, fix it up and then start trading pins but I will never give up my haunted house!

Its not English.. its Texan! The greatest country on Earth!

I'm kinda a hybrid. Soda, Pop, Soda Pop are all acceptable to me. Now if someone says you want a Coke. I will say naw I want a Dr. Pepper.

One thing I can't stand is "Southern Sweet Tea". I grew up on sweet tea but this stuff is tea flavored sugar water. First time I had it I thought it was rancid and told the guy at the counter something was wrong with their tea. He took a sip and said it tasted fine LOL. I'll take the unsweet then I don't need diabeetuz.

Funny enough I spent my first 35 years in "downstate" Illinois. I escaped years ago when the getting was good. Moving to Texas was one of the best decisions I ever made. Even better decision than the wife and kids LOL

Already on the hunt for my next one. I want to find the ones in need of love and fix them up. Pinball machines that is...

Thanks!
