    Need to reflow your boards fast? Two minutes in the microwave. Don't forget to flip them over after the first minute

    (the sparks mean it's working)

    Quoted from PinballFever:

    I looked up the definition for "imamaculate" because I've been seeing that word a lot in pinside threads lately.

    You need to read the 600 play baywatch thread

    If you get a lot of airballs that slam into the playfield glass, you should remove the glass... you don't want it to break.

    in a pinch, you can use 6V led bulbs for the 12V flashers If you smell something burn, just spray it with some contact cleaner or WD-40 to ensure a good connection

    Quoted from Mitch:

    I actually have 6v leds installed in the flashers on my sst. The old owner did this to color match without being to bright. Been like this for years still works great.

    Just hope you don't lose a transistor... or you could be smelling some burned plastic

    Quoted from statictrance:

    If you take your backglass out to seal it - go ahead and leave it laying around half on a container.
    Also - when moving machines downstairs - just use one ratchet strap on your dolley to save time and effort. Securing the head is for pussies.

    Ouch...

    don't worry though... you can replace that glass with saran wrap.

    edit: Just saw that your swords of fury landed on another backglass..... double ouch.
