Your JP looks great Crashdance, stopped by two of your locations yesterday. The Hook needs some LOVE!

I didn't do any laundry but I dropped a few bucks in your machines, mostly JP and AF.

I'd never played JP before so I didn't notice the T-rex not working.

The left slingshot plastic on hook was hanging off. I wanted to get the Novus 2 out of my car and take the glass off but it actually didn't play half bad.

Was really surprised at the amount of arcade games at the Hook location, it's like an arcade with washing machines! Although I don't think I'd be visiting either places after dark anytime soon.

Hopefully my $3-$5 contribution helped a little. If my main office was near there I'd be playing them on my lunch hour but I'd have to help you clean them up first. Let me know if you ever want to sell that Hook.

So you're saying it's for sale?

C'mon Crash, I gotta start my pirate theme and GG wants too much for the Black Rose! I mean look at my wishlist! I'll trade you my working Mystic for it...

Just saying the offer is out there.

Haven't been to GG in a few weeks. Was thinking about going to that "museum" monthly thing they had back on Oct 29th but I didn't get around to it. Might try and swing by the regular arcade this weekend sometime.

Going to Knoxville this weekend to the UT/Vandy game. Leaving Friday around noon so I'm out guys. Would love to meet up with you guys at some point but also note, I'm a banker, so I keep banker's hours...

That Louisville expo sounds great. I can see a second SS right beside my first...

Let me know how GG is looking and what games they have up and running. I got a line on a cocktail arcade cabinet I may be picking up in Knoxville..

IJ? Now I wish I was going tomorrow... Thanks for keeping pinball alive in Nashville!

I didnt get one.. am I off the invite list?

Sorry I couldn't make it. It's too nice outside today. I'll probably end up there sometime tomorrow as it's supposed to rain all day.

Saw that Dave & Busters opened back up in Opryland Mall last week.. anyone know if they have any pins? Nothing listed on the website.

ID's isnt even on the pinside map. I've heard the stories of them doing GG wrong, but I haven't played IM or RS so I think I can suspend my beliefs for an afternoon and maybe tilt their pins a few times. I'm all about the strange.

crash, you need to tilt your camera about 10 degrees skyward. I can't see jack.

Bring in the LOTR!

Whitewater and Freddy in yet? I'll be there tomorrow to drop you some quarters!

Well I haven't played your IJ yet, so at least I have that to look forward to today. It is still there, right? I guess I'll find out in a few hours.

So when is your LOTR open house?

Doh! Where did the Hook that was at wash world in lebanon go crash??

Bah, I was there Friday, one day too soon for the WW. Oh well, the games were in GREAT shape when I was there. IJ and AF both looked kinda dark but everything played perfect.

Sorry to hear it.. but.. does that mean there's going to be a liquidation sale?

Sad that at least $35 of that is from me.

Is this what you're looking for? A .01uF 100v ceramic capacitor? Part # 125-5029-00 on the I/O Power Driver Board?

Valinor here you come! Good luck!

And the Hickory Hollow mall falls farther into despair..

First Sears, Kmart closings revealed

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/florida-hit-hardest-sears-store-220653249.html

— Tennessee (4): Sears in Antioch, Cleveland, Oak Ridge;

Haven't heard anything about Mike although I saw him a few weeks back. Hope he's okay, bike wrecks can be nasty.

Well that's good news. I saw that story on yahoo and got worried. Gotta have my pin fix!

I will say that if there was a bar/restaurant in town with a pinball machine, (ANY pinball machine) I would convince my wife to go out to eat there whenever we went out to eat.

I realize this is a much more expensive endeavour than we're talking about here, but making a point that I don't believe there's one place in Nashville I can go have a beer, a bite to eat, and a round of silverball (other than my game room).

Macy's just announced they're closing as well...

Let us know how the auction in Kingsport goes. Was going to go but plans changed.

Whitewater played great today. So did everything else, wasn't quite expecting the INSANELY large crowd of people for the video game tournament you were having though.. wow.

I have one bit of advice and I hope you take it constructively. You need a new change machine. The one you have takes 1s and 5s and most of the time it rejects the 5s. I walk in with a $20 bill, and seven 1s. I get $7 changed and play for a while. Go to get some change from the attendant, "nah, you need to go to the food court" Okay, so I go to the food court and buy a cookie and get three 5s and three 1s. I change the three 1s. The machine won't take the 5s after repeated attempts. You lose $15. I go home.

I bet we were playing right beside each other crash and never knew it. I was the guy with the little kid and the Rogue Ale ballcap.

No bag of quarters here. My kid has red hair, so do I. Hard to miss.

I ran out of quarters before I could get to the funhouse. I got some good GnR and BR time in though.. love those two games. Kid got some BoP time in as well.

Yep, that was me. Was doing pretty well that game. If you were playing fishtales, then I think you were also playing Elvira next to me when I was on Whitewater? Freaky that we were standing right next to each other and never knew it. Well, nice to have sort of met you today.

I wish it just took 20s and I'd just bring two 20s and know I was good to go. As it stands now, I just may be that guy with a bag of quarters next time though, apparently he's got the right idea.

Nope, the only people I really remember playing were you and an older gentleman who was by himself on the IJ for a while.

Need to buy a pinside shirt so I can represent when I go to GG.

I wanna hear what was at the Kingsport auction and what they went for.. always nice knowing what I missed out on.

That's okay, not a huge deal and you guys were super busy, which is always nice to see, even if it's not for pinball.

I saw your post on Facebook about the guy wanting to punch you.. I don't understand some people.

Did you end up going to the Kingsport auction? If so, how did that Black Rose look? Just curious what I missed, someone else already posted the hammer prices. Thanks!

p.s. I vote for Freddy since I've never played it.

What's the pin lineup in the museum on Saturday?

Didn't end up going. Kid got sick. Such is the life of a father.

The Space Shuttle and Baywatch are mine.

Keep in mind those are the CL prices, not the pinside prices. I gotta keep the tire-kickers and riff-raff at bay.

I like the Dr. Who. Played great today. Took about 2 balls to figure out how to start multiball. I always end up gravitating back to the GnR for some reason though..

If I show up with a 20, I'm the guy who wants it all changed (and maybe more) and it all goes into the machines.

Although lately, I try to get change beforehand so I have more time playing the machines than playing the new changer game you have. Although I always win with the changer game, and the game times are great.. 4 quarters every time (or my dollar back).

As long as you don't tell me to go to the food court.

Look man, we're your customers, and we're just trying to give you some feedback. Take it positively. We're not bashing your business (or place of work), we're just giving our insight into how you could improve through our experiences (and increase your own revenue) at your establishment.

I'm not the jerk who wants his 50 cents back.

argh and my wife is out of town this weekend. Was hoping to take the kid up for the first trip to the museum.. oh well, maybe we'll go to your "regular" arcade instead.

I'm a weekend-only guy, I gots a job.

Im in.

Nice, I was looking at buying a No Fear.. be nice to test drive it first.

What time on Sunday?

Awesome.

I might be heading up to Louisville this weekend to that expo and may have to back out on you guys. Nothing firm yet, still a maybe.

Come over to my place on Sunday and buy my Baywatch Crash, then we'll go to GG and I won't have to drive up to Louisville.

Baywatch pending sale tomorrow so it looks like I'm in on Sunday.

2pm.. I'm there.

Nice meeting you as well.

No Fear may be in the house before the week is out.. had to do some "research" on it today. Jason, you may have to empty the coinbox on that one.

And apparently I have the pleasure of being the cursed Dr. Who player this time. First game no less. Oh well. Sometimes these things are temperamental. Hopefully the flipper just needs to be tightened down to stop the upward creep.

Edit: Forgot the minor punch list: GnR left slingshot switches need adjusting, it fires 4-5 times when there's too much vibration anywhere in the game.

Other than that (and Dr. Who obviously) everything worked perfectly.

I'll probably be up there for the next museum opening if it's on the 31st.

It will be strange to pay to play the game I owned..

Other than a cleaning, new rubbers, LEDs, plated ramps.. not that much work really. Of course, maybe I'm comparing it to my other projects, which have all been much more involved.

I do like me some MNF.. something about the field goal shot is satisfying.

Bride has been down for a bit, probably why you overlooked it.

Is there a museum date this month?

I had to read the posts 3 times before I realized AC wasn't a pinball machine.

So where exactly is the museum?

Aww bring the Baywatch in the tourney. I need an unfair advantage over Williams. He's better than me. I think I can take him on this mysterious Baywatch game you speak of.

That may be the one game there I've never played...

I'll sponsor you crash, but you owe me half if you win.

Update: Toots in Murfreesboro has a POTC.

What's CEC?

But they don't have beer and chicken wings at chuck e cheese. The POTC was in great shape too, surprises me when I see all the lights working on a pin in a bar.

I think Williams said there used to be an SM at toots in the boro and that's what I was hoping to find today. Op must switch em out to keep it fresh. I like me some POTC though so it was still a pleasant surprise.

I haven't played a RBION yet and I'm actually going to be in Lebanon for a few days this week for work. I'll probably end up there at some point.

if you build it.. they will come..

Nope, was in Brentwood all week instead of Lebanon.

It was having some coin mech issues when we were there too but with some perseverance we got 1 game in.

Sweet Pam. I wouldn't worry too much, I spend more time fixing and restoring than playing. My skills are limited and I'm not scared to admit it. That said, I do know the ins and out, but can I execute?

The right flipper on the one in that video is weak. All three of his initial tower shots rolled back. Much easier to get in the tower to light up the Mitch lane in my old one, which is important to get early because.. ah crap.. I've revealed too much.

Got to play my old Baywatch today... just a heads up. Early practice session. See you guys Saturday.

Have no fear, it's not the No Fear from GG. (see what I did there?)

But I did pick this one up last night to feed my addiction.

Had a good time. Even if I didnt make the finals at least I was middle of the pack.

Rob was, he was in my group. JEW is Jason. I only know because their initials and scores still plague my No Fear game and taunt me.

And some gas money for the trip is always nice! Thanks for making the trip and thank for hosting this Jason.

Someone here did. Wasn't me though. Play field looks rough.

The Avenue in Murfreesboro and the new shopping areas in Smyrna on Sam Ridley have also taken away a lot of business from the Antioch area in the past few years. Less people get shot in those two areas as well.

I just don't go there at 8:30 on Friday. Seems to be a pattern.

He got like 500 calls already. It's sold

Better question, how come my iphone Craigslist app didn't notify me.. I need a new app, this one sucks. The one I used to have on my Android was instantaneous, this is hit or miss at best. Once I manually updated it after I saw this post, yep, there it is, posted 6 hours ago.. *sigh*.

This is like the third pin in 2 months I've been late to the party on.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I talked to him for a good 5-10 minutes. He sounded pretty legit. He was blown away by the amount of phone calls he got. Then he said his wife had made a mistake when she posted it and he actually meant to list it for $550.. ha. Said he had people call him from all over but he was holding it for a guy who jumped in his car and started driving "a few hours ago."

this I need to check out...

We're all glad you're there Jason.Thanks for keeping the dream alive.

Make sure the shooter on Baywatch is striking the ball dead center. It started hitting it off to the left when i had it which reduces the velocity and puts a spin on the ball not allowing it to make it all the way up the first wireform. You can just unscrew it and adjust it to center when you rescrew.

Switch on the vuk probably just needs adjustment.

Credit dot on my no fear is finally gone after some connector corrections.

Was at Dave and busters this weekend. No pins. Lots of shooters and drivers and ticket games and that's it.

In truth I went for the new Lego store for my boy but I gravitate to arcades.

Stupid diodes

So yesterday Williams and I ended up spending all of 50 cents each, playing for 30 minutes and walking away with 3 credits on POTC (sorry.. 2006 Stern PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ) at Toots. And now we know why other places have their games set a little harder.. the replay settings were just set way too low.

Toots in Murfreesboro. And yeah, it seems slowwwwww after playing no fear at the house.

I'm still on the fence about Kingsport. Hoping someone goes Friday night and sends me a for sale list. Hate to drive all the way there and have a crap selection.

He's probably got a deal set up outside the auction already.

I'll text ya Friday night.

Weak. Stupid rain.

The lethal weapon in kingsport yesterday went for more than I'd pay. I did pick up a project though. No pic til Monday or Tuesday though.

The LEDs are breeding like rabbits.

Good time. I flailed on Baywatch but at least I got the highest on no fear. I like the LEDs in Addams family, I can see what's going on. Look good in Pinbot too.

I have that fuse and a bunch of sleeves if you want to swing by. 3/8 amp sb, right? The bone busters will be covered. You can't see it until its done.

Shadow or twilight zone

I'm usually working out in the garage until 10:30 or 11. Swing on by. Or you can invite me over to play that attack from mars and lord of the rings!

Usually in the garage from 9-11pm. The door is usually open when I'm out there. Come by whenever.

Not it! Oh wait... Damn.

Did you ever get it open?

Tourney for beer is always welcome.

Williams will be wearing a cubs hat, guaranteed.

It's not. Gone. So is the roller coaster tycoon at chuck e cheese in the mall. Only pin in Murfreesboro that I know of is pirates at toots.

Ha. I surf from the phone mostly. I'll be sure to update next time I'm on a big computer. That CEC used to have a roller coaster tycoon. As of last week, gone.

Doesn't work on my iPhone. It goes to the map but when I try to zoom in it just blanks out and hangs.

Anyway, RFM is removed. Pirates at Toots is added. I figured Crash removed RFM from the map when he went down there. Can only the creator edit the games? That seems silly if so.

Not sure what it said. Didn't read it. Looks like I can add/remove pins at locations others have created though.

No problem. Wish it was still there. I hit up that radio shack at lunch usually once a month or so and always hope it's made a reappearance.. I'll let you know if it does.

Is that guns and roses left sling still machine-gunning? Put that on the punch list (adjust switch).

I'll take whatever you need work on. I'm in a parts holding pattern on bone busters. Got the final connector yesterday but it was too short by an inch so I had to ship it back. Waiting waiting...

Can I change the mismatched flipper bat? Please?
