Hello Pinside!

First I just want to say thank you for all the info and knowledge that is stored in this site. Hugely helpful to me so far!

My story:

Royal Oak, MI

I have always loved pinball since i was playing my uncles "Comet" all those years ago. I and my roommate have wanted a pin for some time (now that i can afford it) so I contacted a shop around us and commissioned a '92 Data East Star Wars Pinball to be shopped. It It came to me a month or so ago in good condition (3-pins gave their lives for it btw). Since then I have been tweaking it and working it over to be more what I would consider a great pin.

Since receiving it I have done a number of things:
-Full ablaze LED
-Blue Flashers
-Color Changers under the lightsaber clash/ R2-D2 spot lights/ Under the a wing and snow speeder
-Purple Death Star
-New "Mirror" Balls
-Yellow PinCab Protectors
-New Flippers
-Proper flipper (W with Black rubber)

I love it to death and wanted to say thank you for the wealth of info I have all ready learned from you all.

Thanks!

I have been scouting for my second pin for some time and i think the phrase "go big or go home" comes to mind. >

I have cash in hand for a CV in almost any condition... That is my dream pin and you could hardly tare me away from it at the MI Pinball Expo this past weekend. My Precious.....

I am scouting one out and now its just a matter of how much my bank account is going to dent.

Pinball, god damn is it addictive!

So enough with the good. On to the bad...

It is still being worked on. I have been changing things out as I understand how they work lol.

Rommy - i added new photos to my album of the cab. Its been touched up but could use a good clear coat.

Also i added some photos of the worn holes (getting some protectors soon) and miss matched pop bumpers ( 3 are wrong 1 is right). I am also changing out the xwing targets to flat square yellows (i know they are not the right box type but i like them more - More light gets out). The current targets are still DE but they are the red circles.
