Hey guys just joined up and Crash sent me this way. I'm Matt from up in Bowling Green Ky. I've been a long time lurker and I currently do not own a pin. I am however currently building a virtual pin. I am going to get a real pin as soon as its done to sit next to it. Hopefully by x-mas. Anyways good to see some locals!
Quoted from mystic:Hey Matt! Let's see some pics of the virtual. Welcome.
Thanks for posting that vid Crash.
That is about all there is to see right now, but i'm about to start building the cab. I've got 37 lbs of cab parts on the way from pinball life lol! I have a set of Williams Widebody cab plans to go by. I will be narrowing the main cab to a standard body though. It will have a 39 inch led tv as the playfield, 27 inch for the backglass, and a 15.5 for the dmd screen. It will also have rom controlled solenoids for the "click clack" flipper and bumper sounds, 10 RGB led flashers, replay knocker, working coin door, and gear motor.
I'll keep them coming if there's interest. I realize this is not the virtual forum so I wont go crazy with updates here. I realize it will never replace a real one, but my situation is limited space so I can have 1 virtual machine, 2 to 4 real pins ( more like 2), and my MAME cab which is complete other than art.
Do one of you guys run Jon's Pinball Garage on Nashville cl?
Quoted from Crash:What are the details on your solenoids/gear motor? Are they actually relays or real solenoids? What interface will you use to drive them?
Well I guess I should have said contacts instead of solenoids and for the gear motor guys are using a VW wiper motor.
For contacts most your using these
There 24 volt coils and make a pretty good click when there mounted in the cab. I will have 7 or 8 total. Flippers x2, Slingshots x2, pop bumpers x3, and maybe another.
Wiper motor.
ebay.com link: itm
It will activate when say for instance rudy's mouth moves and the draw bridge on MM moves.
To drive all of that i'll be using a ledwiz
http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=239
The only issue with it is it only can do up to 500ma on the outputs. Obviously i'll be going over that especially with the high power Cree RGB leds. Luckily a guy over a vpforums made a relay board using optocouplers to isolate the ledwiz from the feedback devices. I have two of his boards and there good for 6 amps per output.
Heres a good demo of VP force feedback. Mine will be setup pretty much the same
I've been wanting to come to Game Galaxy for awhile, but I've had a crazy work schedule lately. In fact I haven't had a day off since labor day. Anyways I'll get down there soon. I would like to play some real pins more to get an idea of one I might want to purchase and get some insight from you guys on a good one.
Nice pickup diskoboy!
Virtual Update:
I have a pile of parts at the house that came in this week. I ended up making two pinball life orders because I forgot to get buttons and clear flasher caps for the LEDs. Duh! I fired up the CREE rgb LEDs one color at a time tonight and damn there bright!!! I saw spots for a few seconds!! I went with a red Bally launch ball button, green stern start, orange extra ball, and a data east red push button for exit. I'm still undecided on a plunger. To have a true analog plunger you have to get a nanotech and there about $120 so I might add that later. Plus modify the tables if support is not built in. I got the real deal Bally leaf switches and clear buttons for the flippers. I'm going to build a little led board like cointakers to light them. I hope to start ripping plywood tomorrow and hopefully I'll have the cab sitting on its legs by Sunday! I've got a member of the hyperspin forums cnc routing a Williams speaker panel out and it should be here by the end of the week.
Quoted from Crash:I just owned Monster Bash on Pinball Arcade. Monster Bash and Monsters of Rock. I NEED to play more of this at GG!
Man you did! I can't stop playing TOM on there. The other night I was 1 illusion away from the Grand Finale!
Any of you guys seen the HUO Demo Man on the Louisville Ky CL for $1500 obo. Seems like a pretty good deal if it is in good shape. Would be right up my alley if I wasn't in the middle of this virtual build.
Quoted from Crash:500 units? LOL.
Yeah even I knew better than that lol
Starting to look like something. I need to order the playfield glass guides and route the channel for them. Then mount the pc, contacts, boards, etc... After that I get to tear it all down to prep and paint.
Those boards are resistor banks for the flashers. A member at the hyperspin forum had the bare boards made and I had to solder in all the components. Three hours and 140 solder joints later there complete!
Quoted from diskoboy:Congrats myork! Did you buy the one in Louisville?
As for getting it up stairs, its not fun. TRUST ME!! And to make matters worse, you're getting a widebody.
But when you do, it may be easiest to have 3 or 4 big, burly guys to help you. 2 on each end since widebody pins are HEAVY! And make sure you have gatorade on hand! And possibly tools to remove the backbox so it will fit through doorways.
Yep I got the one in Louisville from Celiac502. From the tons of pics he sent me the playfield is mint! The only thing wrong is the cab has some fad, but its not horrible. Its already been gone over, has a bunch of new parts, and led's so its ready to go.
The stairs are going to be a PITA for sure. There's a rental place in town that will hopefully have a stair climbing dolly. HOPEFULLY!! If not I figure a regular fridge dolly and 4 guys on it + beer should make short work of it. I've read about the wrap it in a blanket and hook straps to the cab and slide it up, but that seems like it could get out of control quick! I have a straight shot of one flight of stairs so i'm hoping its somewhat hassle free considering the situation.
Just so you guys know this is all Pintucky's fault haha!!
DM is in the house or should I say the garage! In my noob opinion it looks great. If I had a new right side back box decal it would be damn near perfect. The playfield really shines and the ramps are crystal clear! Hopefully I can get it up to my game room this weekend so I can play it more. I played two games before we loaded it and got owned!!! Total failure!
Pintucky, my gf, and myself got DM upstairs last night. It was rough but wasn't all that bad. We were going to slide it up on a blanket with 2x4's as rails, but my stairs are to steep. Ended up strapping it to a cheap harbor freight dolly I have. Ill for user have a appliance dolly next time. Anyways here's some pics!!
Quoted from mystic:Demo man looks awesome in LEDs. I just did one a few weeks ago and it made a huge difference. There's one socket under the playfield that's hard to get to.
Yep it looks killer! It already had most the GI's replaced on the playfield except the ones next to the apron. I went with two blue frosted and one cool white frosted on each side. At the Cryoclaw I went with red, blue, red, blue, red frosted. For the backbox I went with the ablaze 4 led f'ing bright cool whites and blues to accent certain areas. Yeah there f'ing bright!!! I had to literally put on my sunglasses to keep from seeing spots as I was installing them. I also installed several Super 906's from cointaker. I'll make a video of it tomorrow and post it.
Quoted from DreamTR:18% buyers premium. The only people that don't pay those are operators and tax exempt (I am one of those) so 28% vs $10 each item
Now that really takes the fun out of it. Guess i'll get my next machine from a pinsider. I don't mind putting a little work into one. Thats part of the fun of it for me. Yep haven't had my DM for a month and already want another machine to add to the collection. I think I have the fever! (Still loving my DM just to be clear) I'll be looking to buy after the Christmas rush. Interested in
Congo
T2
Black Rose
No Fear
I'll just have to see what is available at the time and in my price range.
Crash I was going to be at Mikes Saturday, but I have to work 12 hour shifts starting that day for a week and I have to work the night before.
Momentary short....... YUCK!!!! I'd rather a short stay short and blow fire!
Virtual pin update:
Since I was actually off work for once I got to work on it again. I painted it, mounted the psu's, contactors, ledwiz, ipac, flasher resistor boards, relay boards, and started on wiring it. Hopefully ill be able to take it for a test run by Friday. The first picture is the Cree RGB LEDs I'm using for flashers.
Quoted from diskoboy:If they want $2700, I'm dead serious when I say you may wanna start considering the barcade route.
For $2700, you could probably rent a decent spot smack in the middle of downtown.
It's beginning to sound like the Antioch real estate people have completely lost their minds.
A barcade would be awesome!
Quoted from diskoboy:Jason, Mad Amusements has that Rottendog Power Supply for the Mousin' Around for $87....
http://mad-amusements.com/product.php?id_product=258
I couldn't find it on Marco or PBL's sites. And if you order that outlane switch, don't forget to get the big 64oz jug of Novus 2.
I have that same power supply in Dr Dude and its LOUD!!! Works but will make a nice hummmmmmmmm. Just have to turn the volume up and drown it out with the Dr Dude rap! 
Wow every one of them were out! That would for sure throw a man for a loop.
I blew the playfield gi fuse the other day in Stargate putting leds in. I had the game off and put several in. I powered it up and saw a spot that I wanted to change colors. I started taking the screw out of the socket and the whole time in the back of my head I was thinking dumbass turn the game off. Sure enough I put the new led in and it didn't work. 
I bought a few retros to sample in the last order. I do like the way the frosteds spread the light, but like I said there not bright enough. If the retros look good and that guy gets a 50 cent version going i'm going to buy a ton of them!!
I'm already collecting tons of parts and i've only been in the game a couple months. Time to get some storage bins! 
Am I just a weak ass or is Gottleib DMD's heavier than a Williams DMD? Myself and 2 buddies tried moving stargate upstairs to my game room tonight. Needless to say we got it on the ground floor and I said piss on that and moved it back to the garage. I had it on a big uhaul appliance dolly and all. Funny thing is pintucky, my gf, and myself got DM upstairs on a small dolly which seemed way lighter and it's a damn widebody! Anyways I guess that's a sign I need to make one side of my garage a pin wall. Guess ill have DM, my virtual pin, and the mame cab upstairs.
Hey Mystic I saw a thread where showing your playfield touchup work. I have a couple spots of insert wear on my DM that I would like to touchup. What do you use for a straight edge? Here's a pic of what I have going on. Any tips or suggestions?
Quoted from mystic:put down some painter's tape to get the edge straight.. easy and quick. The other method would be to hold a straight razor but I like the tape method better myself. Put some sort of spot clear down after the touchup or it'll just come right off after a handful of games.
Thanks for the pointers mystic. I'm probably just going to lay a thick coat of wax on it for now and live with it. If it starts getting worse then take action. Everything can't be perfect
Quoted from Crash:Matt Pintucky is wanting to build one of these himself (or more like have you build it lol). He told me you work until 3:00pm on Saturdays so unfortunately doesn't look like I'll be able to meet you on the 12, with the hour and a half drive back to Tennessee and sundown at 4:30 here... unless you can make an exception? Would love to have you play for my Fish Tales video, he says you're pretty good at that game. I've had very little practice with it.
Do you want to make the trip down for Saturday's tournament at Game Galaxy? It's going to be a big one, with standings submitted to the IFPA.
Man idk if I will ever build another one of these cabs. Its cool, but there is a ton of work that unless you build it you don't see. Its been fun, but then again I just want the damn thing DONE!!! I work 3rd so I get off at 7:30 am, but yeah I usually sleep till around 3:30 pm if I don't have something going on. I'm not working next friday night as of right now, but thats always subject to change so I might be able to make it out. I won't be able to make it down to GG this Saturday because I guy from VA is coming during the day Saturday to pick up a R/C jet project I never finished. I'll have to get some sleep after he leaves.
Speaking of ordering has anybody made a cointaker order recently and had issues. I've been going round and round with them about $92 dollars worth of LEDs that I ordered 12/18/12. Since i ordered I've received two padded envelopes one with 10 CW retros and one with 4 purple retros. I got the first 10 without fuss, but Ofcourse I ordered way more. So I asked about the others and they supposedly shipped seperate and would be at my place the next day. Didn't happen so I waited a week since it was new years and nothing showed. I asked again about the rest of my order and the Got tracking for the 2nd package. When it came it only had 4 bulbs in it!
Yeah I don't know what is going on. I've talked to Melissa about it via email and that doesn't seem to be working. Guess i'll have to call tomorrow. I sent another email out Saturday night and haven't heard from them since then. I understand it was the holidays and such so i'm willing to cut some slack, but I would like to know what is going on.
Quoted from Pintucky:Well, I would offer to help you myyork82, and phone them on your behalf. But the last time I did something like this it got me banned from Mad Amusements for life!
Mike
Call them up and tell them you are my rep and they don't know who they are dealing with! HAHA!!!!
My first pin teardown is underway. Gonna get the topside stripped down far enough where I can hit the playfield with a treasure cove kit. The playfield has mylar over pretty much all of it so it should shine up pretty good. That ramp was a pain to get out of there! Hopefully the sun will come out one day so I can sandwich the plastics between some glass to flatten them out.
Groovy DUDE! 
Technically Stargate is mine and Dr Dude is his. It's a joint venture. There both in my garage though 
Dr Dude is going to his house when I get done with it and then Stargate is getting the treatment. I'll let Mike play Stargate for a bit then i'll probably sell it. I can only get DM, the Virtual Pin, and my MAME cab in my game room. 
I had a blast at the Louisville show! Erik your Adams is very nice and I really enjoyed playing it. I really had to resist the urge to not bring home that NIB AC/DC that was there. I need to get rid on something first though!!! My only complaint was there was no Tron there other than a NiB. The lines weren't real bad and I waited the longest to at AC/DC, but it was set to 5 ball and gave friendly ball saves. WOZ is a ball draining machine. I compared to getting your first piece of a woman. All this build up to play it and it was over in 30 secs! Hahaha!!!!!!
I could only imagine how many plays AC/DC got put on it of the weekend. My gf and I went through the line twice. AC/DC was for sure the hit of the show. Of course that is probably the nicest Pro in the world. It was a steal for sure when it sold on here a while back for $4k. I'm sure you have a lot of polishing to do on that fresh chrome. I wish I would have had Stargate and Dr Dude ready to sell so I could have brought them. Just haven't had them time do to my buddies and I working on Seadoos and boats.
Nice score in the pinbot. I've been kinda wanting a BOP lately, but I'm out of room!
I'm currently shopping out the T2 I picked up earlier this week. It was the one at the arcade expo in Louisville if any of you guys were up there. I've got the playfield stripped ready for a treasure cove treatment. Tumbled hardware all night last night. Just got done polishng the wire ramps. All new targets from pbl and some other randoms on the way. Should clean up nice! Ill post some pics later. "I'll be back!"
Quoted from williams:Regraining metal kind of sucks. But...
Thanks to Matt for the tip on Mother's Metal Polish. Stuff works better than anything else I've used.
Yep regraining sucks!!!! Just finished chopping out my T2 and went with the sandpaper route. I'll try mothers next time.
Quoted from Erik:No nudging tips from me but I find it hard to nudge widebodies anyways.
Aint that the TRUTH!!! Well except for DM! The handles make it to easy. I've had to get on a few of my drunk friends about shaking the shit out of mine!
Anybody need a freshly shopped out T2, Dr Dude, or Stargate that needs shopped? I'm wanting to get a AC/DC from Larry.
Volpin I will fix your right up with "the dude" He's cheesy but he is a groovy dude lol!
Crash Stargate and Dr Dude are at Pintucky's. We co-own them of course and are looking to sell both. I can't believe I'm looking at NIB pins but I'm wanting a AC/DC pro or Tron Pro. I'd be willing to trade on a nice HUO example of either or buy outright also.
T2 is at my place and I'm the sole owner. I really like it, but I don't need it and a AC/DC since they are "sorta" similar.
Crash Stargate its a cool pin, but I don't like the Gottlieb "clunk" or a mylar'd playfield. I'd rather pass it on unshopped to someone who will enjoy it when there done shopping it out. It's in good shape and would make a nice pin when done. I just can't get into Dr Dude.
Larry I sent you an email.
Man I need some for sure! We are short handed right now! Nobody wants to work anymore. I mean I don't either, but I like having nice things!
If any of you guys have PLC, robot, and 3 phase motor experience let me know! We had a guy hired and he quit after 1 month out of the blue. Its crazy they keep saying unemployment is high, but yet we have had operator positions that pay good money sit empty for months!
Yes it is! Thanks Jason and Richard! Shaina and I had a great time! I really, really want Tron now!
The translite key is hanging in the coin door and you'll find the original manual in there also.
Big thanks to Erik for the AC/DC armor! Adding it to the pile of parts I have for a pin I don't have lol!!
Quoted from Crash:When do you think you can make it up again Matt?
Don't know for sure. I would like to get in the next tournament. Sounds like a lot I fun!
I have noticed a lot of BS drama in the marketplace here. The price police is out of control! Another forum I used to be really active on had a zero tolerance on price policing. If you didn't like a users price you kept your comments to yourself or you would receive one warning and then the ban hammer would drop.
I thought about that but is is pretty bright as it is. Hard to photograph it. I have cointaker retros as gi and supers in the inserts. I have a set of mirror blades sitting her that I bought for t2. Since its for sale I might install them in DM. Super bling then!
Glad you guys are enjoying Stargate. Hold both flipper buttons in for about 5 secs before you launch the first ball. This will disable all the helpful but annoying call outs. "Shoot the pyramid! Shoot the pyramid! Shoot the pyramid!" I KNOW DAMMIT!!!! 
Thats not a bad spot were your at. Yeah foot traffic would help but its easy to get to since its right off the interstate. Plenty of space also! I'm gonna try to make it down Saturday if its raining. If not I have work to do 
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
Quoted from Crash:Matt we freaking gotta plan a visit to Mike's when he gets his WOZ. That video's going to be awesome. Someone on the forum even suggested an angle of the crystal ball, only issue is its designed to face the player so that may not be possible. But on still curious how the crystal ball video interface board works.
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.
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's it i'm going back upstairs and running wires from ac/dc to the polk sub hooked up to DM! That spring Stern installed to help the SDTM issues on AC/DC is SHIT!!! Mine was constantly SDTM feeding out of the pops. Even my gf's 8 year old niece commented about it! I took that spring off and now it just does it out of the bell some. That's what the bell mod is for right!
Quoted from DreamTR:At this rate they got the Demolition Man and Twilight Zone out. Even No Fear. Theatre of Magic and Indiana Jones came back in for retirement.
I'd love to play TOM and IJ. I want to play No fear the next time I'm down. That pin is on my list.
Quoted from DreamTR:myork: You missed it when we had them there...they just got tore up and when they need a full on shopout from Mike, they aren't going back in. No Fear and Addams are the only two exceptions to this rule.....
I don't blame you on that one!
Quoted from Crash:Did myork82 make it down? When I left at 1:30 the only Pinsiders I saw were Blondetall, Storyteller, and FumbleFlippers. Moose615 when did you come down? Don't think I saw you.
Nope I didn't make it. I didn't roll out of bed till almost 4! I'm about to head back into work in a few. Gotta love it! Think i'll buy something for ac/dc with the OT to make me feel better about it.
Coil been replaced? Bad EOS switch?
I know some 3 phase motors when you do a resistance check its fine, but when you hook a megger to the motor it fails the test. Basically means when you apply high voltage to the windings the failure shows up. Not that I would hook a megger up to a coil installed on a pin, but some winding insulation issues only show up under high voltage.
I hear that! I run into that a lot at work!!! Sometimes you just have to do it though.
Oh and just a FYI to interested parties pinballbulbs.com non ghosting LEDs are legit! The regular ones ghosted horrible in AC/DC which is to be expected. The non ghosting totally cleared that up and they look awesome! Can't deny the price either.
When you say the coil is good did you try another or just check the exsisting coil? If not I would try another coil at this point. If it works fine for a bit and then screws up after some use it sounds like a heat related issue causing the failure. You could just swap the left and right coil to see if the problem follows.
Yeah No Fear sounds awesome!!! The coin door keys were laying on the glass when I played it. They went into the coindoor lock real quick!!! If those FF speakers sound that good in No Fear I think AC/DC will have a set ASAP!
Quoted from DreamTR:I had a High Speed II, sold for $1800 to Kendall awhile back.... =P Keeping this one for sure
Its a awesome game for sure. The one you have now is the only one i've ever played.
Quoted from Crash:Sorry you couldn't make it Matt. Looked all over for you.
Yeah sorry man. I got Guns N Roses all loaded up around 11 in Hermitage and I was wore out! Steps plus working all night the night before was rough! I went straight home and slept till about 6. I didn't even feel like unloading the pin first!
Now I see what I have to do to replace the servo on Frankenstein's head on Mikes. Just so you guys know any cheap standard R/C servo will work. Should be like $8 not $30!!! You have to make sure the harness to the servo is wired correctly or you will fry the servo.
Here is the schematic for the servo drive board.
http://www.sternpinball.com/downloads/sb72.pdf
Here are the pinouts for r/c servos.
Yep i've got some laying around from my old R/C plane habit. I flew everything from homemade foam electric planes to 200 mph jets. I got tired of seeing money go up in smoke when they hit the dirt so I basically sold all my stuff.
Quoted from Erik:Nice! I did nitro trucks 10 or so years ago and recently I've been dabbling in helicopters for my other geek hobby. I need to spend more time on the trainer software. Keep breaking stuff because I suck
The alien head in Independence Day is opened up by an RC servo too
Good luck with the helis. I had a eflite 400 and a trex 450 for a bit. They just made me nervous so I sold them. Felt more comfortable flying 100 mph + planes upside down 4 ft off the runway lol!
Quoted from Erik:Yeah I've just been learning on the micros. Some of those bigger ones are like lawnmower blades flying around. Not for me!
Believe it or not but the bigger ones are a lot easier to fly! Get a raptor 30 and some training gear for it. Rock solid stable when set up correctly.
Nope its all back together with new displays. He repaired the power supply and cpu board. Somebody installed new sling switches and soldered them in backwards. It locked the sling on and shorted the drive transistor. 
I wasn't around when this happened. I have a shiny new Hakko 808 Desoldering tool to take care of that.
Quoted from DreamTR:myork: Darius has left the building.
Star Trek launch party Oct 26 Saturday night at Game Galaxy! $10 cover, $5 entry, Stern official stuff, prizes, etc. At least we don't all have to drive to Birmingham this time around, lol
Snooze you loose!
Launch party sounds fun though!
Quoted from Erik:Also I was parched yesterday. Someone needs to open a bar next door. Less barbers, more bars!
This! I would love a barcade!! I totally understand that is a challenge though.
You ought to come to KY when basketball season is in if you want to see some real crazies. If they loose I hate going to work the next day. Like a bunch of 3 year olds crying. I bet domestic violence calls go up the night of a lose also!
Quoted from flipnout1:There is a new code update for Star Trek. I'm not sure why it wasn't released yet but it was loaded onto the tournament games on Friday. I talked to the guy who did it and he said it balance some scoring in the modes but didn't tell me anything else. I have a few "goodies" to give out on Saturday at the tournament so make sure you are there.
Larry
A Steve Ritchie signed AC/DC translite would be awesome 
It has been quite around here. I've been checking in, but pretty much in jetski mode. Had one offered to me for a smoking deal and I've been working on getting it running so I can see if the motor is going to survive being full of water for about 6 months Needless to say my Fish Tales shop has been pushed to the side. Its almost done and i'm hoping to have it done next week. Then F-14 is up after that! I've got more work than free time!! Anyways with that said if anybody is looking for a nice Fish Tales let me know! Shopped right!
Quoted from DreamTR:myork: Cyclone needs to be dipped in bleach.
Dang that bad? Was it the one we talked about you getting when I was down there?
Quoted from DreamTR:Matt: If only you had the stuff I need to trade =) Crash actually DOES but if I have a feeling even if I offered him Star Trek for Police Force he'd turn it down...(not saying I would do that but they don't get rid of their pins over there =P)
Yeah Yeah story of my life Its all good. Not like I need another pin anyways. I need to sell for $$ and not trade.
I would like to at some point step up to a Midway cab and a real arcade monitor. I've got a 21 inch non widescreen LCD in the cab now. It looks good, but nothing replaces a tube! I'd hate to wire that control panel again though! Two joysticks, 3 inch trackball, seven buttons per player, 4 admin buttons, and two ledwiz's to drive the rgb leds in each button. I think I spent two days wiring it up!
Quoted from GoldenOreos:i have a midway with a KI panel on it with no monitor if u want to give it a shot, i also have a 29" dynamo with the monitor if u want to just get that off my hands haha
Man that would be cool, but I don't need another project or have room for a huge midway cab.
Quoted from Erik:Jason does not discriminate!
How did the tournament go? Crash flex his TFTC skills?
That's a fact! This man owned Gold Wings! Oh wait I owned it too! 
Eight Ball Deluxe would look good at my place. Just saying
Oh and I am now the hired care taker of Party Zone and Street Fighter II since they are now at a local bar in Bowling Green. Care was not taken in moving them. Party Zone is up and running but Street Fighter has a flipper issue. Gotllieb....
Gold Wings!
Quoted from DreamTR:I think what I have noticed is that most of the "serious" pinball players do not enjoy Wizard of Oz and the ones that play casually think the game is fine.
Yeah I think I'm more of a serious technician than a player. Well a serious lunatic for taking on a system 80 shop job! 
Quoted from williams:Just an early heads up to all the Nashville folks. They'll be a Walking Dead launch party on Saturday, November 1st at 7pm at Game Galaxy Antioch. It will be a different, more casual format that our usual league event. Similar to the Star Trek Launch party if you were there. It is on the IFPA calendar and will be worth points.
The Star Trek launch was by far the largest turnout we've had and a ton of fun as there are more than just our usual pinball group there. If you have a friend that you are wanting to bring to Game Galaxy this would be a great event to bring them to.
More details at http://www.midtnpinball.com. Really looking forward to this one.
Sounds like a good time! I had a blast at the Star Trek launch party. I need to get back to Antioch anyways! Its been a minute! Y'all probably thought I fell off the face of the earth. I'm currently restoring a 85 Kawasaki JS550 jetski and I plan on getting back into pin mode when its complete.
HOLD UP!!! I haven't posted in forever and you guys probably think I died in a horrible jetski wreck, but Tron a bad game....... No way! To each his own though! Speaking of which if anybody has a Tron and wants to do some trading on a DM and or a modded AC/DC Pro holler at me!
Oh and Jason your Party Zone is still kicking. I've got to replace a EOS cap on it when it arrives. They had a Tournament and the winner got a free tattoo. Dude got the guy on the backglass tattooed on his arm! Dedication!
Anybody have two known working 7 Segment Alpha Numeric Display's like would be in Player 1 and 2 in Pinbot. Other games would work as I just need the glass and could remove the glass from another games display board and install in mine. Let me know. I thought I had found a pair, but I don't think its going to pan out.
Looks like this
