Soap Opera. Get it?

Man you did! I can't stop playing TOM on there. The other night I was 1 illusion away from the Grand Finale!

Definitely won't be happening. $4000 for a pinball that I don't like to make $10 a week. LOL.

The way I go about pinballs is I get ones I want to play and ones I like and ones that are good. If it's a combination that doesn't work I won't acquire them. I'm interested in a few certain ones to play them but Family Guy is not one of them.

I'd have to agree with Jason - Family Guy is probably one of Lawlor's worst. That and Shrek, since they're pretty much the same game.

And Jason forgot to tell everyone... WH2O is currently 100%! Definite CPU board issue. We took the board out of CFTBL, so now it's down. And we put WH2O's board in Creature, and all the menus defaulted back to German (but that's not why it's down... The switch problem were transplanted with the board).

No Fear is still down since we didn't have a spare WPC-95 board.

Can one of you guys tell me exactly what row in the manual was out for White Water and NO Fear?

NO Fear had slingshots and ball save popper out
White Water had R I V E R and other target banks out

I don't have the manual(s) near me and I need to know specifically what "row" these are in to let MIke Chestnut know.....

Crash thank you very much!

Hey guys, giving you all a heads up, I am putting my pinballs up on Craigs' List for XMAS at stupid silly prices. I am not really selling them but I need to get people in to the arcade somehow, so if you see this crazy list in the next few months, it's mine, lol..I'll let all of you know when I actually DO have something for sale.

Hey I'm calling about the no fear you have for sale for $4500.

Sure, come on down and play it if you like.

Wow, I didn't even know this place existed. I don't even need to buy a pin ill just come here once a week.

New client acquired.

Crash: What mystic said. = )

Doing some opto repairs today on the TZ. I can't believe Radio Shack sells them!

Maybe I can finally get rid of the dreaded "Ball Popper Opto Is Stuck" message. I've already completely rebuilt the opto board, and installed new LM339 chips.

I also took this pic last night of the pay-for-play row with my SLR.

Crash: you can test those displays in Black Knight..

That's probably what that missing fuse on BK is for, since everything else seems to work okay. Those LED displays don't need high voltage to run.

Jamie was playing AC/DC.

The other idea I have is to invite Jack White to film a music video in the arcade. I'm sure his loyal cult following would then have to visit to see where the vid was filmed. Monster Bash would be perfect for the video with him being incorporated into the game somehow as a monster...I'll leave that up to the vid director. Well it's either that or set up some type of Guinness world record to get the place on the map.

It's the cable. We jiggled it and it is fine now (needed a better connection) Also, there is no "gas" in the new displays. That's not an original display. We've never had any illumination problems with it, I can tell you there's not one person in here that will say anything about that display other than that minor detail.

Oh, almost forgot, our new league starts this Tuesday at 7pm.

Three weeks of games again, same rules as before.

1st week is get beat week:
AC/DC, Taxi, Dracula.

Good luck on those. LOL

But yes, 7pm this Tuesday starts the new league....You can come in starting at 4pm but you MUST be there by 7pm for scores to count and can play until 10pm.

New project!

You can have your Bone Busters, your Baywatch, your Bugs Bunny. This is the new hottness.

And it still has the original battery!

Seriously though, anyone ever triple thick a backglass? This one needs it. I could use some guidance from anyone who has done it before.

70's artwork is the best, isn't it?

That's funny that game is the newest video on pinball.org it was used in the last Pinburgh B division finals. The commentary on it is pretty hilarious. It mostly consists of "Hey how do you score well on it? Why you shoot the holes of course. Anything else worthwhile to shoot on it? Sure, you shoot the holes."

Whirlwind destruction. And this is why you don't epoxy OVER the rivets.

I don't know wether I should brag or feel bad - I just smoked Jason's high score on his Medieval Madness.

If I know Jason, after he put his baby to bed, he'll be up all night trying to beat my score.

I can't do it when she's sleeping (the game is too loud) I'll beat it when I ever get time to it. You guys are making my life harder with these high scores to keep up on, lol; I know I can beat them, I just need time to do it, lol....the only one that may be a issue is that Monster Bash score....and getting back "in" to Sopranos...ugh.....

Yeah, that thing was pretty loud...

In other news, I've found one of the problems on my TZ - Bad opto board. The solder wont stay on the pins of the LM339 chips. I just ordered a new one from Great Lakes Modular.

Jason, I also ordered a bunch of those ULN2803 chips for the WPC cpu's. I know you probably sent it off to Mike already, but I'll have some for future reference. And I finally found my chip puller.

With a heavy heart, I'm hereby announcing that I will not be participating in the forthcoming tourney for financial reasons. But this will be the ONLY tourney I'll be sitting out.

However, I will be there Tuesday to watch everybody play. So good luck all!

I got my Medieval score back. Yay. Now on to everyone else's.

LOL! I know Jason won't rest until he's beaten Jamies score on AC/DC.

Just remember... If you do manage to beat my TZ score, I'll just put a harder one up

I'll get the Twilight Zone one, but I haven't played that game sans that "one" time it came in before you guys LEded it all up...should be fun when i get it, lol

What's up Nashville?

I haven't been to Pinside in a long time, but looks like it's stronger than ever. Love that you guys have your own subforum and would love to see more of you on the regional forum, the Bash.

This is a bit of a Shameless plug, but I just posted a ton of machines for sale or trade. I can do shipping to Nashville for $150 and can transport up to 3 pins to and from B'ham at anyone time.

My business partner recently made a deal with DreamTR (Jason) for Road Show via our retail side of the business (eBay) and I've also traded a HUO IM to Duane (TZ68) a few years back. I'd love to open up the trade route a bit more with y'all since you're so close. I do ATL about every other week.

If you don't like the prices I have, make me a reasonable offer and I'll do my best to work with you on it.

Look forward to hearing from you guys and meeting you in person.

Thanks,

Casey Bryson AKA KingPin

HI Casey =)

Do you take requests on games?

WOO-HOO!! MY TZ is now 100%!! Installed the new opto board, and now everything works like a charm! No more "Ball popper opto is stuck" message, and no more credit dot!!!

Now, if I could only get rid of the cigarette smell...

Charcoal

I'm still basking in it's afterglow...

The guy that I bought it from said it needed about $600 worth of parts to get it working again. It only cost me $70. There are still minor cosmetic issues (rubber rings, flipper rubbers, and the playfield loop is still dirty), but I can manage that easily.

BTW - Great Lakes Modular makes awesome replacement boards. The new one I installed has an LED display that lets you know when one of your optos fail.

Whirlwind getting there. Topside done except drop target decals.
