anybody here know how they have the stands setup at the papa tourneys for the recording part. prob going to try and make some sort of boom stand for a web cam or something to maybe record future tourneys here

Here's a video I shot with a gopro hero 2 set at 720p and 60fps I just suction cupped it to the lock bar. A tad better angle would have been perfect!

Two quick things.

1. Tournament tomorrow. Come kick my butt in Demolition Man. I've never played it before.

2. If anyone had a Pinball Life order coming up and would be willing to add a $6 part please PM me or talk to me tomorrow. Would really appreciate it!

Can't make it for this tourney unfortunately. I was planning on coming but I had something come up at work for tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can make it in June.

Maybe all for the best, because I'm terrible at No Fear and Tron, and I haven't ever played Demolition Man. Addams Family is the only one I know well, but so does everyone else.

Not gonna make it tomorrow. Looks like the weather is going to be decent so I have work to do. Ah the joys of working six and seven days a week at my real job.

I like the tournament lineup. I will be in korntucky and will miss this one

Crash, thanks, I will order the one board correct?

Speaking of the issues on Judge Dredd, I hear the trough becoming magnetized can cause the game to have issues. I'm reading up more on it, but supposedly this helps...

And I've got a GLM opto-board in my TZ, and I can't heap enough praise on it. They seriously make great stuff. But Jason, you may want to check the opto boards from the Dredd I stripped before you start throwing money around. They still may be good.

Crash the stargate six or 7 ball thing is probably because the timed play feature is still on.

Thanks everyone for coming out to the tournament yesterday. We had a few new players this time - hopefully the word is spreading. We've probably had around 20 different players come out over that past few months, so please keep telling anyone you think may be interested.

Will McKinney beat Jamie Weber in a very close finals to win this tournament. David Lesko came in third. Will put up a 3+ billion game of DM during qualifying, and Jamie put up a 2+ billion game. Not bad for Game Galaxy just getting the machine. It plays like a dream.

Here's a link to the results. Game details are on the second page of the spreadsheet.

Thanks to all for their suggestions about the league. The current scoring format that we've been using seems to be a hit, so we'll keep that for the foreseeable future. I'll revise the rules to clarify a few things but I think it's been running well so far. Thanks to all of you for taking it easy on me!

The next tournament will be on June 1st at 2:00 pm. When I pick the games, I try to get a diverse group; usually a DE, a newer Stern, etc. With the hopeful arrival of Metallica soon, I'm going with this theme (Games subject to change).

Guns N Roses
Tommy (may sub with Getaway if the trough issues persist)
AC/DC
Metallica

Thanks again everyone - see you on the 1st (if not before when Metallica comes in!)

Yeah, it was still a great time with my kids and I thought it was very fair that you adjusted the price. Hopefully I'll be up that way again later in the fall.

Well I am glad you made it out, hopefully I will meet you the next time you are in town....

So we have Raven and Taxi for trade. Anyone interested? = D

I have a used set of speakers from a Data East and half a bottle of Novus #2 that I'll trade for Raven plus cash. Let me know.

Sounds fair!

I'll take that Cirqus Voltaire and Ruth's Chris dinner for Raven.

Cool? =)

Can you deliver to Murfreesboro?

Hey guys, new to the forum, I live in Hendersonville, TN. Long time Pin fan getting close to getting my first one. I never knew about Game Galaxy, I have to go soon because its sad to admit this but I find myself taking my daughter to Chuck E Cheeses just so I can play POTC.

My parents used to go to Chuck E Cheese just to eat pizza and play the Nascar pin. Then she basically bought a small arcade for the family instead. Lol. We did go on Sat to the Chatt Game Galaxy and played for an hour on the 4 pins there.

Welcome! Game Galaxy is an awesome place for pinball. Come out to the next tournament if you get a chance - no better time/place to meet other players in the area.

(Everyone, I apologize for my shameless promoting of the league)

Also, results from the latest tournament are up on the IFPA web site. Mike, they have merged your entries also.

Thank you for the welcome, hopefully I can make it out one day soon, Tuesdays are alittle tough but ill def try to make it out. I always enjoy meeting other Pinball fans.

It would be an extra $300 and a Tommy Pinball for delivery. As you know, Raven is very sought after.

Long overdue, need to come to Game Galaxy. You won't find a place within 6 states with as many pins as we have on location.

Thanks to Matt we now have Bad Cats back in the arcade repaired and working!

Sweet! Thanks!

My wife appreciates the lack of "BAD CATSSSSSSSSS" shout outs in the garage.. to be clear, I didn't shop her out but she plays!

Sorry I missed the tourney, had some prior obligations. Sadly I might have to miss the next one as well since I've got a bundle of joy on the way right around then.. we shall see! Maybe I can sneak away for a few hours.

You getting a Metallica too?

I def will be going to Game Galaxy this weekend, I think I talked myself out of the Metallica MoP LE I have on preorder, so Game Galaxy looks to be the place to play, and atleast I'll get to play Metallica when it comes in there. But I'll still be looking into a TAF as my first home pin though

Metallica is now here @ 75 cents a play!

I personally think it's awesome sauce.

If anyone is looking for any pins for sale we have Tommy, Raven, and Taxi.

Just added Tommy to the FS list. Also willing to look at trades as well.

anyone know if the game list on Game Galaxy's website is up to date? I'm heading up there with my daughter to check it out today, I'm excited, cant wait!

Moose, it probably is not, we change things all the time up there....

Updated for Sale/trade list:

Tommy The Who (with original topper)-$2750
Raven (rubber kit installed)-$550
Taxi (Lola version, (rubber kit installed)-$1400
Rocky and Bullwinkle (rubber kit, new power board, and new ramp installed, also has topper) -$1895

are those pins up to play while they are for sale?

Just left GG, my daughter and I had a blast, Metallica Pro is really fun like I thought it would be, fave part, frying Sparky!. Played alot of games I loved in the past and the one that I was surprised I fell in love with was CReature from the black lagoon, I want it lol! I will def be back! Next time I'll bring cash.

welp T2 is sold.....now on the hunt for BSD!

Okay. I am totally baffled. My upper right flipper on my TZ gets weak during play.

I have rebuilt the flipper from top to bottom - new coil, new sleeve, new coil stop, new plunger/link assembly, new EOS switch, new bushing, new spring, and new flipper bat. So mechanically, it's for all intents and purposes, a new flipper assembly with the exception of the flipper assembly bracket.

What should I be looking at on the electronics side? I'm about to clean the optos to rule those out.

Try the optos, but mine would do the same think after steady play.

It's typical for flippers to weaken during game play....When I was a lot younger (and better at pinball) I would get these 50-70 million point games in Elvira and Earthshaker. Believe you me that there is no way that ball was making it up the Monster Slide around the 40 million point mark of Elvira.....

Good deal. Still have mine.......

I cleaned out my flipper optos last night. Still no luck. I'm beginning to suspect the IDC connector on the flipper opto board. The connector itself looks pretty fried.

I'd replace the connector entirely if I knew what size IDC connectors those are.

I found a Big Buck Hunter Pro vid proto SN 4. Cabinet art is different and has never been on location. It was used in a shop as a test bed. Is this worth anything more than a regular excellent condition BBH Pro? I've been considering getting one and have a choice between the two but they want about $800 more for the proto. Not sure its worth it but wanted some opinions.

Thanks
Larry

Protos always seem to go for more but not as much as they "should", the other thing is if you sell it a Big Buck Hunter "fan" would probably have to be in to it. Honestly that game is pretty good if people give it a chance but the majority crowd is not as interested in it.

I bet if I parked it at work there would be tons of interest in it. God almighty I dread hunting season. Thats all I hear about around here! One will say I saw 2 bucks next to the road and the other will say he saw 4. Before you know it there was 50 in a field and they were petting them
