Quoted from Bax1:

Hey gang. Wondering on your thoughts of hyperball. I have a chance to purchase one but have never played one. Seen videos and kinda looks cool. What do you guy think of this one?

It's about a loud as a lawnmower.

#454 10 years ago
Quoted from MrBally:

Early '80's clubwear on hot girls was the best. Sprinkle in that makeup & hairstyles. Great stuff.

Hell yeah.

I make my GF dress up like that for me sometimes, even though it was long before she was born, lol.

Quoted from Astropin:

Pics or it didn't happen.

Yeah, she would be thrilled with that.....

Quoted from Zampinator:

W^ Michiganders?!

Michiganders is a derogatory term (coined by none other than Abraham Lincoln)

Michiganian is the proper demonym of our friends to the North.

#510 10 years ago
Quoted from Bax1:

Hey fellas. Wondering if anyone in the group scooped up the pinbot, lights camera action, and Al's garage band in the metro Detroit Craigslist? Some steals if you got them.

Everyone who looked at them said they were too water damaged to even be worth $100 each.

#516 10 years ago
Quoted from Bax1:

Hey gang. Looking for some help. My nephew came over the other day and was playing my gorgar. He is autistic so he was just jamming on the flippers and blew my silinoid fuse. Any idea what could be wrong?

If he is autistic, it's probably your EOS switches maladjusted.

Quoted from J_Cutler:

Guys I've tried and tried and now I need some advice. The right upper lock/eject hole on my firepower seems to 90% of the time will shoot the ball right between the flippers. How do I adjust the trajectory on this?
Jack

First, of course, check if your game is dead level.

Then see if the pawl that kicks the ball out is bent, or if the tip has a bunch of peened over metal. Dress the tip with a fine file until it is true again.

#524 10 years ago
Quoted from Bax1:

Thank you for the tips fellas. This is the second time the fuse has blown. The first time it was in for about 4 hours and played for 3 hours straight. Does that help any? Wasn't played hard that time.

If you manually hold the flippers up at maximum extention, how much does the EOS Switch open? Is the gap less than 1/8" ?

Quoted from Bax1:

Also does anyone do board work on system 6 boards?

Plenty of guys here work on them. What kind of problem with it?

#525 10 years ago

If your EOS gap does not open wide enough, it will overheat the flipper coils, or blow the fuse, or burn up the driver transistors.

Would also like to learn how to do the bullet proofing of the boards and set up remote battery holder.

I was at Ann Arbor Pete's a few months ago, all the games were working except GNR and Nascar.

MM had a big sign on it "Rebuilt Flippers!!!!".

#627 9 years ago
Quoted from RonB:

Kind of funny that they put a sign on it stating that, like it's a big accomplishment. That's like a gas station putting a sign in the window boasting "Clean Bathrooms!!!".

Pinball sure is not the way they are making their money with MM only priced at .50 cents.

If it gets some new people to play who only go there to shoot pool, more power to 'em.

PS: I've got to admit, if a freeway gas station had a sign that said "Clean Bathrooms", I'd probably stop. Sometimes I have to just crap in a plastic bag and throw it out the window of my van.
