Everytime I saw something needed to be tweaked on p5, my mind read twerk for some reason. Thank you for not twerking.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:While Dick is studying Startrek,i am welding and grinding this pole to higher level
He was playing star wars...not startrek. To a nerd over the pond that's like nails on a chalk board 
keep up the good work fellas. Following this one like I did despicable me. Gives me something to look forward to hung over on sat or sun morning.

If you guys are keeping this build neat, should get a set of RJ45 crimps and some ends. Cut that rats nest of yellow ethernet cable to the length you need and re-terminate them. Would be a cleaner appearance. Not sure how many of them you need / there are - but if there's a lot you could color code them for easier trouble shooting too. Yellow = sound. Green = lights. Red = power, etc.
Good job - look forward to these updates weekly.

You guys need to resend a better pic on what you need them to remove. It was kinda dark, but I feel like those looked like torx, not Allen head screws. If they are, no amount of Allen wrenches will remove them...wrong bit.
Quoted from pinballrockstar:The measurements are the hardest part
Thats because youre using the metric system

Start button idea: gargoyle with an open mouth. Make the start button recessed so you have to stick your finger in to press the button. Every x % of games, program in a light shock. The crazy lord with the watchful eye trying to scare you away. Tie the shocks in with an evil laugh outta the game

Dunno if they make em small enough - here in the US back in the day there were toy guns and the like that when you "shoot" them, there was a plastic little thingy that had sparks in it. Going with the run down look..it'd be cool if you found one and rigged it to the PAM so that when it went red it "sparked". Or even something like a short gapped spark plug from a car...

May be too late. Not sure if the cemetary thing got scrapped or not....lost track. Launching and coming up the bottom of the cemetery like rising from the dead would be cool...
Merry xmas all...

Should the lights above the slings be flipped? green - all is well (at the bottom). yellow danger close. red (at the top) paranormal activity? It seems like the green and red should be swapped no?

Happy to be caught up. Over on this side of the pond we finally got some nice weather in the north east. Lookin good as always. Can definitely tell yall are car guys. Nothing sexier than matte black and copper.
Gotta plan a start time so those of us around the world can join in spirit with the safety meeting when y'all do.

Been way way way behind. Like..page 165 behind. Just caught up. Nice progress. Suggestion to throw shade at Stern and compliment Elvira's..assets. When you're waiting for a player to plunge a ball..kinda like in Metallica when Sparky calls out to hurry up - you could have a head be like "Hey. Hey you. If you're waiting for Elvira to show up with her chest full of toys, you're at the wrong mansion. Now focus your eyes where they belong and plunge a ball already."

Finally caught up. Was behind a few months. Did so properly with a Heineken. Happy belated bday bas. And. I learned something new. I watch a lot of your videos without sound on this stoop with a beer or whiskey as I am today. Watched one or 2 inside. With sound. Always assumed mic=mick, not mike. Who knew? Nice progress fellas
20200406_174011.jpgIs the fireplace gonna lower and be functional? If so - why not use an opto with a lil servo motor to lower it after the opto registers the amount you want? Ditch the switch!

Quoted from pinballrockstar:We don’t have a clue over here dude,i could wear Red Sox and everybody in the Netherlands be like: dude,cool usa hoodie!!

Not a huge sports fan but I follow football to a degree. If you live in Massachusetts - you love the Patriots. If you live annnywhere else. You despise them. Also Budweiser is ..interesting. You guys get any canadian beer over there? I'm close to the border and we love Labatts and Moslon
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Aaah so a Massachusetts team?
We had no clue
We have the mainstream usa beers over here,no canadian…send us one for a review!!
Tom Brady played for them for years. They always one. And their coach is a cheat. More that we dont like the org, less about where it is. GO BILLS!
PM me an address..I'll see if its possible to send beer. So happy fridays are back. Gives me something to look forward to. Looking good.
So apparently in the US you cant just ship beer overseas. Or in some cases domestically ..who knew? Found a place that shipped internationally ...should have some overpriced Molson Canadian showing up Thursday - just in time for the next installment.
Need a real name to put on the order. Apparently "The pinball Amigos" doesn't fly when delivering alcohol
Should be there friday now - got delayed a day because they needed a name. Hopefully early enough to cool down before the safety meeting.
I think smootbore was the shipper. Glad to see it showed up! Another fun update.
For the hdmi...if the 90 adapter looks stupid may be able to solder some wires on the board in the case and dump it out thr back
Ha. I didnt realize he was the guy excited to see the box get open - i thought smoothbore was what was written on the outside of the box. Was half in the bag myself last night. Glad it showed up all safe and sound. Around here being close to the Canadian border its everywhere - grocery stores, bars, etc. That and labatts are like Canada's Budweiser. Only better.

Happy Friday! Beard should design / sell some shirts. Some of the stuff he wears is fantastic - i'd buy some for sure. Make sure they're available in 2x for us fat people in the US....
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Time for a solid breakfast!

Looks like the beard is eyeing up something not exactly on the menu

Looking good. Gonna attach a roulette wheel on the end like a vegas style one, or do computer random draw of numbers?
Stupid question. Y'all aren't ( i dont think ) native english speakers right? Curious why you put it all in english
Damnit - i logged in to search the thread thinking it was friday. again. to be disappointed that it's thursday. again. but hey - at least mike had some good news.
Quoted from Pintucky:I'm at a loss as to what a HEP restoration is, but here in the States, technically, I had "stents" put in.
Thank you for your kind words. This is also for ALL OF YOU for your good wishes!!! Will let this one post be for that and not clog this forum up, like my arteries were!
Will be 75 next Wednesday.
Mike in Kentucky, USA
Hep = high end pins. Best person on the planet to restore a pinball machine. No one does better restos - barred none. http://www.highendpins.com/ Glad to hear you're on the mend
