Quoted from Pintopia:I have to say I really like the creative engineering. I’m thing that actually would play well and more in line with playing soccer (football) as known everywhere but here
The creative engineering looks ok, but I'm afraid gameplay will suck. Part of Striker's gameplay is based on passing the ball from one side of the playfield to the other to get past a defender. This strategic aspect has completely gone to waste in this hacked setup.

Nah. Just a fuse.

Quoted from asay:People over react about this. They were flood damaged, completely FUBAR.
Maybe the back glass could have been saved for something, but it was filmed 10-15 years ago when there wasn't the crazy collector market that there is now.
Exactly. They were completely screwed and it was in a time where he couldn’t give them away.

I recently stumbled onto the stackable containers at Home Depot. $12.00 per pair. Stack them as high as you want. The advantage is that the slider lock that locks them together also is positive lock for the lid. If you close the sliders when the lid is down I don't think you would experience playing the game of "pick up".
In this pic, the top container is locked and the bottom is not locked.
And in this pic both containers are unlocked.
And stacked and locked.

What brand are those?
I wasn't aware those HDX containers stacked, I used to buy what I considered a HUGE bargain container there for $4 and it was big enough for parts - they discontinued it though. Harbor Freight has the same size but the quality is shit.
The stacking part and the $12/pair part intrigue me though I'll have to go check those out. $6 each isn't too bad and I defintely need the stacking part.

In the tool section of HD. HD had a complete island of several hundred of them in the main aisle is how I discovered them. I bought one pair. 2 days later I thought I should get some more and all that were left were just a few up high on a shelf.

Bought a sega Jurassic Park Lost world back in 2014 from italy. I believe I paid 500eur for it. It was complete but had a nasty burn on the driver bord. Cleaned the board up, changed some nearby burnt parts, some hot glue to fit a experimental board with som driver transistors and a bunch of cables.
It wasnt pretty, but it still works flawlessly according to the man who bought it from me.

Yes best bins ever great for pinball parts ,home depot
Thanks for that post about the Homedepot containers. Grabbed a pair for my meager assortment of parts and bulbs etc and they work great.

Yes they are for sure I grap lot of them redoing all my small parts with them works great

Throw them in the polisher, clean right up they will.
Yikes.
Quoted from Williampinball:Yes they are for sure I grap lot of them redoing all my small parts with them works great
I am already wondering why I got a single pair instead of two. Don't have enough odds and ends to fill them, but it's a pretty solid excuse to buy random parts.

I'm usually disappointed by the games upstairs in Neptune's. Usually have some serious broken bits(like non-functional flippers) that you don't notice until you've sunk money into a multiplayer game.

Quoted from Ceckitti:I found this photo from many many years ago. I think it was on RGP. Cant remember the story behind it. I THINK they were using something to clean the playfield and it was highly flammable and it ignited.

That’s a reaction to the salt in the air.
Sterns ship with chrome plated balls.
Steel and chrome + salt air, it basically creates a mild battery. All you need are two different metals to act as conductors and the salt air functions as the electrolytes.

Quoted from oilspot:Alright, who did it!?!? Fuse panel in a Gottlieb North Star I just worked on.
[quoted image]
By the time they soldered-in THREE fuses in parrallel, they essentially bypassed the fuse altogether! I am surprised they didn't just stick a 1/4-inch lag bolt in the fuse socket!
Quoted from Markharris2000:By the time they soldered-in THREE fuses in parrallel, they essentially bypassed the fuse altogether! I am surprised they didn't just stick a 1/4-inch lag bolt in the fuse socket!
It was actually worse than the pic shows. I stuck the bridges fuse back in for the pic and got it in the wrong holder, it was originally in the one on the left where the good 10A fuse is shown. So one fuse was bypassed completely, one with the CF in the middle, and one with a wire soldered across it! The holders we're all misshapen like someone had forced something besides a fuse into then at some point. Scary. I showed it to the owner and explained how this could have destroyed the machine and maybe his house....

Well maybe the three fuses were all rated about 1/3 the amps of the specified value and those were the highest ones they had laying around. Otherwise why not just use one? But with that kind of sloppiness that's giving them too much benefit of the doubt. XD
Quoted from Jahkub:This is the cabinet of a recently acquired barracora. Not really a pinball horror, but reminds me of a still from a horror film.

They must have not had any 1/4 inch brass bolts that day.

I like your positive thinking. Sure, let's go with that. It was an available fix to put the machine back into the revenue stream so the tech replaced a blown 1-amp fuse with three 1/3 amp in parallel. I guess its possible. What a very creative 'out of the box' thinker!!!!
LOL
And they had the one with wire soldered from end to end for just ic case the 3 fuse cluster did not start a fire.

Glamor is one of the more difficult to find Gottlieb games as it had the lowest production run of the '50s: 300.

Considering the condition of the cabinet, I'm surprised that the backglass is intact.

I find it amazing that there are still so many old pins out there that did not get tossed in the trash years ago.

Pretty sure this was Eric A's game. I seen it like right after it happened, it think it was still smoldering in his basement...

The fuse on the right with the wire soldered across is in no danger. The current doesnt pass thru the fuse. They joined the wires on the upper terminal
Quoted from PinballAir:The fuse on the right with the wire soldered across is in no danger. The current doesnt pass thru the fuse. They joined the wires on the upper terminal
I actually jammed it back in to take the pic and got it in the wrong holder. That one was installed where the good fuse is in the pic, so one was bypassed completely, one was bridged with wire, and the middle was that 3-fuse CF . Scary.
Quoted from jasonp:Sold a few games today ...The buyer told me his shippers knew what they were doing.
I was out of town and my wife sent me this picture..... I have a feeling this isn't going to end well.
