Thats it? A few things on crazy mansion and then unbox a new pin. Dam I feel cheated.... it's like masturbation with out the payoff... 
Lol just kidding, we all know what it's like to get a new toy.
Quoted from pinballrockstar:I was actually clueless so i called it saucage...they are called " beer bombs" over here...
So i figured it wouldn't make sense to you
Beer bombs here are when you drop a flaming shot of jameson into a pint a guinness....
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Finally bought a lab power supply,i was so done not being able to test mechs and coils because i have nothing that makes 50 volts DC..
This lab supply does 0 - 120 volts so we can test leds,coils,motors etc.
Another plus is...you can test what voltage a certain mech runs best on.
Should be arriving oncoming week.
We have no PROC board set yet for the crazy mansion so this way we can give stuff juice.
Check if things we build are strong enough..we always sort of guess how big a coil we need and mostly we are lucky and it works,but it is maybe time to stop pushing our luck
I hope you checked the amperage rating. Alot of those cheap lab supplies are rated under 5 amps.

If you were local I'd give you a few ic''s. Nothing more frustrating than trying to fix something and running out of parts. If I were you I'd replace the sockets as the corossion doesn't stop. It needs to be cleaned up.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:Hahaha...
It is not a pinball related incident!
I decided to lay down some pavement in my bike shed..bought the biggest rubber hammer money could buy and literally the first paving stone i beat,i hit my thumb full force!
Rubber hammers hurt the same as metal ones is the outcome...
So i took a deep breath,took out my keys,locked the shed door from the inside and cried like a little girl for 10 minutes hahaha.
It was a supercold day and the pain kicks in after 20 seconds...you look at your squashed friggin thumb and YOU KNOW you are gonna be in so much inevitable pain very shortly...jumping around like an asshole,holding your thumb...(it don’t help shit,but somehow humans think “one can jump the pain away”.)
The black thumb is driving me crazy,the worst place ever!
Every picture i take,the black nail is on it since i am right handed..
A few weeks ago my 10 year old daughter noticed we had the exact same thumb...except hers was peeling crappy nail polish.
Thanks guys,lmao
You should put some black nail polish on it to confuse all the followers lol
Quoted from pinballrockstar:I just might
You could also paint it fun colors to really throw them off since they're betting on when it will be gone lol.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:Just wait and see...we are gonna implement that so well in our game..
I was staring at the ceiling in bed and all of a sudden Lord Grimm formed in my mind,not another face mechanic or something,but he had to be something super strange...a crazy supernatural eyeball.
This is what we needed for this build you see...
We are not building the obvious here.
Else it should be called”the obvious mansion”.
We need crazy!
But you just can’t push that inspiration out,it kinda hits you sometimes.
Luckily it did.
What would be really cool, in attract mode if the eye would follow you as you walked by the machine.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:Thanks bro,it is funny how Mic envisioned the entire thing from cutting a very crappy paper bannister ( paper prototype bannister picture below..)
Thing is,we were actually shocked how straight and perfect it turned out? Totally not our style...we are always off by 1/16 of an inch.
Shitty thing being,we have to keep up that quality now...the bar is raised!
I think you mean 1.5875mm.........LOL

Quoted from pinballrockstar:Hey everybody!!
Just a sec,i am showing mic the brand new solar power added to amigo headquarters!
Put them on myself,bruises all over and a twisted anckle,but we have solar power to run the pinballs all night
(And the Tesla...that thing uses crazy amounts of current...)
FYI I dunno what the fire depts are like in your neck of the woods. but in my town and many others throughout the USA if you have solar panels on your roof and have a fire they will let your house burn to the ground. Reason is once they turn on their floodlights they will start to charge the panels and will shock the first responders that are trying to put out of the fire.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:After layers of stuff i found this thing,forgot i bought it in Sweden...an old VOLTA hoover with a lot of bakelite parts so it is old as hell.
I don’t see a vacuum cleaner when i look at it...but something way cooler.
I am gonna build the Crazy Mansion B.E.D. Out of it! (Brain Eraser Device)
In a vid,one amigo is gonna have his brain erased with a tin foil hat,some jumper cables and this VOLTA device.
You’ll see...this is gonna be so out there...mwoehahaha!!!!

Quoted from pinballrockstar:What a coincidence,i just started a 1980 Monte Carlo lowrider project,what are the odds of you posting about a car build?
Funny...this project is in Dutch,but if there’s interest i can post progress vids now and then
Looks like a handful. I have a 1986 montecarlo SS, but its all original and only has 44k on the clock. wouldn't mind seeing this build here and there.
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Off topic:
Teardown of the monte carlo.
It is a car from hell.
It is bad,really really bad.
Didnt watch the vidyet, but make sure to check the frame rails from the axle back. They like to rot there
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Gonna build me a lowrider boy
This bucket list is way too long for my life expectancy
Look,a Monte Carlo is a gorgeous car [quoted image][quoted image]
That looks like the 1 from the movie training day

Quoted from pinballrockstar:Hey thanks buddy,it’s a ton of work but i keep on pushing till it’s done.
The hood is a fuckin disaster area...i need a new one but it’s just not for sale?
Yeah the fiberglass type with the 4 hood pins but i think that’s disgusting..
I decided on a color by the way,found this ‘78 Monte on the ole interweb!
[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from pinballrockstar:Amigos...i am super bummed out...this is the first time since like forever Pinball friday is cancelled due to the new curfew in the Netherlands for civilians.
If you are outside after 21:00 the police chases and shoots you (nah ofcourse they don’t shoot you man...jesus...i kid...you only get fined)
sigh...we never miss pinball friday!
I am seriously bummed out.
I know there’s a lot of very terrible stuff going on and people struggling to survive COVID-19 but that just doesn’t make me be less bummed out ?
And now there’s also riots and looting here and there in the Netherlands.
People are getting super angry about this curfew.
I kinda get it,you lose some freedom.
I though don’t get why they protest by breaking store windows and loot.
Strange phenomenon.
