Very cool. I used to want a Pin-Bot. Now I NEEEEEEEED one!!

#362 10 years ago
Quoted from NJGecko:

Either that or a pile of kindling on the front steps of my house!

Well it sure will be a shiny pile of kindling!!

Cabinet repaint looks great! You used rattle cans for each step? Even clear? Did you have a pronounced ridge at the edge of the paint mask stencils? If so, did you do anything to knock them down?

Quoted from spfxted:

Gecko...I'm keeping my eye on you from rainy Ireland!

Glad you have internet there. I thought all you would find is beer.

Are you bringing a barrel back?

Quoted from gweempose:

Exactly. I'm into my Pin*Bot for WAY more than most people would pay for one, even a restored example. Sometimes, it's not about the money.

I'll be in the same boat on my Firepower. I'll never get my money out of it, but thats not the point!

Ed scares the crap outta me! Have you seen the movie "holes"?

#446 10 years ago
Quoted from NJGecko:

Actually she provides backup heat via eyeball lasers if my soldering iron can't cut it.

Good plan. Everyone should have a Laser Cat.

I wonder if I could find one on Amazon. That and a ton of Claritin for the allergies that will come with it.

#449 10 years ago

Leave it to Ted!!

But I didn't say Rainbow Laser Cat!!

#459 10 years ago

Way to go!! Can you post some video of it in action?

Quoted from NJGecko:

Something awesome about having a light on for 15 minutes and being able to just put your finger right on the element.

Personally, I've never had the desire to put my finger right on the element, but hey! Everyone's different, right?

You have me curious to see your finished basement lighting. Would you consider posting some pics here when it is finished?

#492 10 years ago

They have elements???? Why did I not know this?

#506 10 years ago

I have some dryer lint that came straight from brand new cotton towels!

Good luck selling. Hope you stay happy with your decision!

#508 10 years ago

It won't be too hard to find another pinbot in the future. You do to have to justify your decision to anyone except yourself!

I am fresh out of navel lint, but I do have some ear wax and maybe a little toe jam too!!!

Nice! The only thing it's missing is a PinballPro sub.....although that speaker does not look stock.
