Adding Mousin' Around to list of stuff for sale...

clear it out

I talked to him tonight and forgot to ask if he has heard anything on a delivery date. I need to get over there and work on Junkyard but as usual i'm covered up! Got a new pin and have had some jetski trouble that I had to rectify by tomorrow.

Got a few things done to AC/DC! Got the ball eject protector cliffy, shooter lane protector installed, shaker motor, red legs, laseriffic bass drum, and the premium train. That was scary yanking the left ramp off on my brand new pin!!! Don't scratch it, don't scratch it! I've been talking to pbl the past few days about getting the premium lockbar receiver so I can install the premium lock bar and rails I got from Erik. Turns out Stern is out of stock!!! Luckily Marco had one, but damn I had to pay for it. $80 shipped!!! Guess thats better than a shiny red paper weight! I'm going to order a ton of pinball bulbs leds tomorrow to led the gi's and a pinball pro speaker setup. I want it to ROCK!!!!! Planning on installing hemi's bell mod also if I have time.

Fixed Judge Dredd and WH2O yesterday.

I'm still baffled as to why JD is still spitting out two balls after you lock the first ball. My guess is a bad ROM chip, as the trough optos were cleaned, and the balls demagnetized.

Fatsquatch here on pinside has a BSD he may be willing to sell. I've been considering picking up his WH2O in a trade with my LOTR and he mentioned BSD as well. He is in TN.

Right Flipper.

is that the guy with the shadow,BSD,WH20 and a ice cold beer?

Yes, and now he has an AC/DC also. I still need to go see it. I think my mom bought the rest of his collection over the past year.

I was out Opry way today and stopped by the hotel. World Poker Tour is down for the count and missing its DMD. Grand Old Golf has replaced Royal Rumble with Pirates of the Caribbean.

Grand Old Golf sold Royal Rumble ages ago. That Pirates used to be at Toots. Same guy runs the same route. He also owns a Spider-Man.

Stopped by GG today to play Metallica. Pretty fun. Seems like it needs some deeper software. Enjoyed it though.

Right flipper on Demo Man is weak/chattering. Everything else worked great.

Remember, tournament next Saturday!

That Demo Man thing must be new.....I played it the other day and it was fine...will check it tomorrow.

williams: I checked the flipper on Demo Man this morning, it works fine. I think what happened was you were not using the triggers. I only use the triggers in the game, and there are 0 issues. When you use the "flipper" traditional button it seems to have the symptoms you were talking about, so that must be related to the button itself because the flipper acts normal like before when using the triggers (the way the game has to be played anyone for maximum points).

im dis connecting those flipper buttons to force everyone to use the grips if u let me

Dirty optos on the flipper mechs maybe?

Kids these days...

Trigger Combos = double your points at bonus...

I have not used the flipper buttons in years, so that could very well have happened ages ago but none of us would know because you aren't playing the game to its full capabilities....

Regardless the game works fine with triggers and that is how it is supposed to be played....

I am more concerned about Baby Pac-Man with the stuck left Flipper (calling you Crash on this one, we put a new coil in but it may need a transistor....the game is now in Antioch

Probably is the button switch then. Will check into it today, thanks Crash! It stays on as soon as you press it once when you get to the pinball mode.

Heh. She's certainly bought the majority of the games I've sold over the last year or so.

Fatsquatch- did you see my party thread? I had everyone over yesterday for a cookout and tournament. I should have invited you too. We'll have to do it again on a non-holiday day.

One of the guys here has a South Park that I was looking at during the Atl Pinswap, and he offered to trade it for RFM or Pinball Magic. Mom had a hissy. "Oh hell no, there's no way he's touching my Pinball Magic! Nobody is ever getting it!!" (Insert additional 'from my cold dead hands' rant here.) RFM died during the tourament yesterday and froze up, so we've got to poke around on it, but it's still not going anywhere. We're trying to eventually get a SWE1 playfield to swap too.

I've still got to find time to get to the big Game Galaxy, especially since everything in Chatt seems to be for sale. If/when these machines are sold, would more be sent to replace them?

Brandon says he already checked that before and the EOS looks fine he said. I don't know for sure until he relooks at it Thursday.....

blondetall: Only 3 of the machines in Chattanooga are for sale and since interest is so low in them they are probably staying there.

If they do sell I would bring different ones, yes.

I can tell you that since I can't keep an eye on the machines myself it is highly unlikely that any premium pins would ever be sent that way, though....

Yeah, I knew BTTF wasn't for sale. I was at Sears last weekend and walked by to see if Goldeneye was still there because I thought a few people were interested in it, and saw it was there and the DMD was sorta working. I just looked through the windows because I was in a hurry and didn't go in though. I'm just happy to see any pins at all in the area, and after watching a family come in and let their kids hang off the plungers, there's no way I could put my pins out for public use.

Yeah, I saw it last night. Looked like a good time! Feel free to always throw a pinvite my way.

Hehe. I'm so very glad that machine went to a good home.

Have you turned it back on after letting it sit for a good while? If so, did it run alright?

RFM froze up while they were practicing/we were cooking. We turned it off while eating, then I played a game before the tournament and it did fine, and 2 games later it froze up again. So we took it out of competition and shut it down. I'm going to try it again when I get home, after being off for 24 hours. It hasn't been an issue before, and all the machines are on different breakers in that room, so not sure what the problem was.

Crash- We were supposed to go look at his Flintstones on a Sunday, and while I was at work the day before I got a call from mom that she had looked on eBay and realized the guy we got our JP and TAF from had one, called him, and got it shipped in from Cali for cheaper than what DreamTR was asking for his. I was a little sad, because I wanted to see the big arcade with tons of pins, but it's my mom's machine/money/time so I don't really have a say in what she does. So she has her Flintsontes (and TAF and PM all in her bedroom actually) and loves it, and I'm glad he was able to swap his towards a Metallica.

I've been tempted to stick T2 in my bedroom since it seems all I get on it are tire kickers!! Roll out of bed and fire up some pinball first thing. Seems normal right?

there was a guy trying to buy my T2 but i had this other guy that called first but he seemed very interested, i can give you his # if you want to give em a call.

Sure shoot me a pm with his info.

Hey everyone, just another incessant reminder that we're having a league tournament this weekend. Moving back to the first weekend of the month with this one.

There's a theme for this month's games. See if you can spot it.

Metallica
AC/DC
Tommy
Guns N Roses (Could someone adjust the pop bumper switches on this? Doing that and cleaning the scoop switch made a world of difference on my Data East.)

Alternates: Getaway (plays ZZ Top) and CFTBL (plays 50's rock)

Here's a Metallica rulesheet if you haven't had a chance to play it yet. http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/metallica-rules-how-to-play-pro-v-106-rulesheet

As always, thanks for spreading the word and if you have any suggestions on how to make the league better please let me know.

See you Saturday at 2:00 if not before!

Can anyone join the league and play in the tournament? Have not ever been to one but I would like to start.

Have to see if Brandon or Mike can do that....only person I know who has adjusted Data East pop switches is Rob. If it is easy, Brandon can do it, but just direct him in case there is anything "tricky" about it.

One thing to note about pins, that Flintstones was by far the prettiest one ever with Cointaker LEDs. A lot of stuff depends on what it looks like and what has been done to it. By far it was one of the prettiest machines I ever had so you have to take that into consideration with price and I got what I asked for it....this is why a lot of times a "cheaper" pin may actually cost more money if you are not able to compare the two and play before purchasing....

DMD issue has been solved, we put one with a line out but the issue was a connector attachment to a board, but the game does not have the DMD issue it had before where it just "stopped" working.

You said it though, kids hanging on the plungers; and the guy that came in here upset that Addams Family was not in Huntsville anymore and assumed the store was "closing" because it was not there anymore really doesn't understand unless he put his own machines on location and see what happens.....

With that said, Addams Family is almost ready to come back to Game Galaxy Antioch looking VERY different, working 100%, and has a new center ramp among other things. Well worth the money to get the Mike Chestnut treatment, that is for sure.

Oh yeah, I know condition is key. Everyone said yours was gorgeous and I wanted to see it, but she does what she wants. (Just ask Fatsquatch. Lol.) Hers is nice and we've added some mods to it, but it was definitely used before she got it.

I can do that :p (just too bad the rest of the machine doesn't work now) :p

Sucks I'll miss another tournament. Really digging the theme of this one too.

AC/DC Pro-mium?????? I've gone long enough..... Its time for LEDs! Mirrorblades are on the way also! Now if I could just get the SDTM issue lined out. Its pretty bad currently Its not from the bell shot either its when the ball feeds out of the pop bumpers.

That made me think of this:

Super easy. Two screws remove the switch, adjust it like any other. The little plastic 'spoon' will come off also and I'd clean that with some Novus 1 or Windex just to get the dust off.

Absolutely! We have a wide range of skill levels but the main goal is just to have some fun and meet other players in the area. You're guaranteed to play at least 8 games as part of the tournament and part of your entry fee goes directly to the arcade so you can play pinball all day as well.

Hope you make it out!

I should be able to make it out, looking forward to it!

I will now def be at the Saturday Tourny, just had to make sure I had someone to watch my daughter. Looking forward to meeting others in the Nashville area.

I have a Metallica Pro NIB and an AC/DC Premium NIB I can bring Saturday for someone
