I didn't see it happen, but apparently one of my guests (youth group) used one of the steering wheel to hang off of.

Ugh. I have to get to a place in my brain where these things don't bother me but man its going to be tough.

I don't know yet, i'm too angry to start looking

Quoted from jhanley:

That sucks! How hard is it to find another part?

#7 6 years ago

Yeah, this "housing" part isn't going to be an easy thing to find. Probably have to wait for someone to part out a sprint game.

So did a quick search, found NOS and used. Kinda pricey though but luckily they made tons of Super Sprint, Championship Sprint, APB, Badlands and a few other games that use this setup so i should be able to find a decent used one.

LOL, i'd be lying if i said I've never banned people from the arcade. Or rather, stopped inviting them.

There was a guy from the OC pinball league that was like a drunk gorilla with my pinball machines.

Quoted from PinsideTroll:

that sucks. been there. one person has never been invited back to my gameroom for lack of respect to the games in it

Most of the kids are great. These were 12-18 year olds. And besides, that's what these stupid contraptions were made for.

The good news is i had'nt starting restoring this game yet so i'll have to pull it all apart anyway. It will motivate me to get it done.

That happened to me too! My teenage son was goofing off with his friend on the stairs and crashed his entire elbow through the drywall. Instead of getting mad I simply emailed him a YouTube link on how to repair drywall.

Long story short, I came home later that day to a mediocre patch job and 2 floors of drywall dust covered furniture and pinball machines. Took hours to clean up!

Quoted from whthrs166:

Here is what I do with kids that break things. When its time to fix it they will participate. Taught both my boys how patch a HEAD SIZED hole in the sheet rock that way! You break you fix it!

A bit better, thanks. Same guy bought all 4.

Quoted from RobertWinter:

Um, the last line of the ad says "YOU WILL GET ONE OF THE 4 FROM THE PHOTOS". So it was ONE for $50 plus $14 shipping.
That should make you feel a *little* better!
