Quoted from pinballrockstar:Meantime,the 5 wires are in...i had 2 free spots in the rear connector so that one is all full now.

Ok. Time to edjumicate….
When you crimp wires; you crimp the insulation in the first set of "prongs" and the conductor in the last set.
Lacks insulation crimp
This is done to secure the insulation so it can't be pulled off; but more importantly; it helps prevent "fraying" as the wires are bent/repositioned.

Aaah ok,when the final playfield goes in,i’ll redo the connectors then.
Thank bud,i didn’t know? 
Quoted from Zitt:No worries. Glad I could help.
Always correct us if we do stuff wrong,we are winging everything and are learning on the fly 
Update on the amigo headquarters move
Everything is in the new and way more attractive room now.
All the materials and the welder are in the alley(it has a roof since a year or so)and the new room now has a workbench with all the tools we normally use.

Quoted from aobrien5:No slide saves allowed in that game room!

Quoted from zerbam:where is your sponsor and your injury board in the new room?
[quoted image]
Yeah...still gotta do that,but this is a brick wall
Our friends and sponsor are on the table right here!
So i need to think of an easy way to hang stuff there 
image (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpgI made it this far today on my own,we had to return some flooring cuz i grabbed 15 packs from the same pile but 9 packs turned out to be different..
Sadly there were only 6 packs of the ones we laid so i had to drive 100 kilometers to another Hornbach hardware store for the other 3 packs

Quoted from meSz:Mark it down on the injury sheet!

Quoted from pinballrockstar:The pinball wall
I'm curious if you had to do any pre-work with the electric in the new space prior to moving. Have you had all the games turned on yet? Over here that's a long enough line to make running them on one electric circuit challenging. I've got two 15 amp lines (@ US voltage) in my basement so no breaker tripping issues but I notice a little weakness in flippers when all 11 are on compared to playing with just a couple powered up. Since your voltage is different I'm guessing your breakers are sized differently too so maybe tripping breakers isn't as big a challenge in Europe?

No issues at all,we are running 3x 25a /230 volts.
Runs smooth as hell.
But mostly i only turn on 1 or 2 pins at the same time..
Only when we have a party or sumtin,everything is on,simply cuz it looks majestic!
Quoted from PinPatch:Better hope three boxes are enough...!!
It was! 
Mic helped me again yesterday and the floor is in!

And despicable me,IS a world cup soccer"
Not really sure that I would consider the alley machines as MACHINES any more..........clearly storage boxes after the move!

Plus,they are complete when you count all the parts in our build area too 
Quoted from Thor-NL:Is that the one in Breda?
Spot on Thor!! 
Quoted from Thor-NL:Well you were 400 meters from my house
Next time you have to go there, make sure to come over to play some pinball
Hey thanks for the invite brother! 
Supercool!
Hey friends,check out this vid featuring Gerard van der Sanden and his Dutch Pinball Museum!
It gives you all a nice overview!
He has great plans for the future
