Favorited! That does look worse than I imagined.....it's amazing what happens to what you CAN'T see....even when it's right in front of your face. I am looking forward to the process take some "Metallica" breaks in between....PINBOT won't mind if you take your time!

WHRID is down playing the time he spent tweaking PINBOT....easily double that but he wouldn't let me leave until it was 100% working. He fixed switches, cleaned an assembly, soldered detached wires, replaced blown fuses, helped me get the XPIN displays in and even hooked me up with LEDs in the BB. Every issue was taken care of without hesitation....he was very good at trouble shooting and correcting the mechanical/electrical bugs that arose. My PF and PINBOT is looking and playing beautifully...loving it!! I finally got it set up and in its home....PINBOT is very happyimage-314.jpgimage-314.jpgimage-823.jpgimage-823.jpgimage-971.jpgimage-971.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

And here are some nostalgia pics of his first baby.....which I own as well.image-253.jpgimage-253.jpgimage-454.jpgimage-454.jpg

I owe a big THANK YOU to wolfmarsh for making that visor bracket happen....so THANKS MAN!!! I owe you one...someway, somehow

I know I don't have pics of the whole trip...me in my car, me at the rest stop bathroom, me sitting on a deer that got creamed in the middle of the road, me kissing my PINBOT or even of me and WHRID hugging like many pinsiders would....I like to keep it simple....sorry pinsider voyeurs! I did learn to never drive anywhere long distance the Sunday after thanksgiving (my 4 1/2 hour road trip back turned into a 7 hour crawl)....but hey....all in the name of pinball!

Thanks Jim....you are one skilled M-effer....good guy all around
