Scored a Time Warp this AM and a out of sight! Not a bad morning. Don't think the glass has been off this time warp in decades. Had to pry the lockdown bar off.

Went to a farm auction last weekend and picked up some projects. The guy was an operator for 28 years and everything had been sitting in a barn on dirt floors for probably 20+ years. I picked up a Stars, Bobby Orr Power Play, and a Joker Poker parts machine that time got the better part of. Then on the way home I bought a working Stars from pinsider Parabol420. I plan to do full restorations on both of the Stars and the Bobby Orr Power Play. The Joker Poker will be stripped of anything usable and what is left of the cabinet will be burned.

Quoted from EricHadley:Needless to say it was not signed for and they loaded er back onto the truck.
Nooooooooooo! If I were you I'd keep my eyes peeled for something great on the horizon, the pinball gods owe you for this one!
Sorry man. I had to send my DILE back as well. Backbox was damaged. That was last summer. Fortunately I had a new one in 3 weeks. Hope it comes soon.

Is it that hard not to damage these or not put a forklift blade through?
My first NIB, TSPP I bought back in 2003 had a forklift blade right through the underside of the cabinet.
Good thing for tip and tell, what a bummer, I work at Chrysler and swear they get some of the biggest idiots to drive a hilo, its about 50/50. Hope they get a new one out to you soon.
Quoted from TooFiddyMan:Just picked up my first pin to rebuild. Williams 1985 Comet. Playfield is decent and so far everything works other than "Dunk the Dummy". Anybody have a backglass? I am without!

Quoted from dgpinball:Picked up these 3 beauties on Sunday, just something about Gottlieb 50's woodrails!!

Welcome to the Comet club! I'm currently fixing one up also, going with the hardtop install.
BertoDRINK1 is trying to get bgresto to make some backglass reproductions. Apparently he needs one to scan, don't know if there was any progress. Mine isn't bad at all, but would probably buy a repro anyway.

jaytrem Another option is Shay Arcade Group. He adds new backglasses to his offering occasionally and he uses the same manufacturing process that the glasses were originally made with. If I see him at Pinfest today I will suggest adding Comet to his offering.

Cool, thanks. With all the Comet ramps Mark is selling I suspect the backglasses would also sell pretty well.
Quoted from igo4rams:My number two game now a Fathom.
Sweet lock-and-load job and welcome to the awesomeness of Centaur!

OK, it wasn't quite "today", more like a week ago, but I've been busy
The machine survived the trip better than the box did. Turned out to be just a lateral tear - no internal damage at all.
Trying out some Cannon Lagoon! That damn Kraken still eludes me

What the F is that thing?
That is the Multimorphic P3 pinball platform. The upper playfield module with all the physical components is replaceable in about 3 minutes with other game playfield modules. The large LCD draws graphics and has full infra-red ball tracking so you can interact with virtual targets as well. Flippers and slingshots are suspended over the screen and function just like regular machines do.
It's also user-programmable, so if you have the coding and design skills you can make your own games, complete with custom upper playfields.
One thing it is NOT is virtual pinball. There is a real ball, 12 of them actually, and the base Lexi Lightspeed playfield has an 8-ball lock, ramps, scoops, pop bumpers, standup targets, etc.
It's produced by the same company that makes the P-ROC brand pinball control systems.

Quoted from Puffdanny:Brought home this amazing machine today and saved southeast Michigan from 2 more years of this piece of shit being relisted every other day
I have been thinking of picking that up, did you get a good deal or pay full price.
steviechs scooped it for me,the lady delivered it so he gave full price.
Quoted from crlush:I have been thinking of picking that up, did you get a good deal or pay full price.
Quoted from Puffdanny:The code is complete
No spinning disks though. Not even a single, much less 3
Quoted from NoQuarters:No spinning disks.
If we don't destroy it we will mod them back in
Quoted from Puffdanny:Brought home this amazing machine today and saved southeast Michigan from 2 more years of this piece of shit being relisted every other day
LOL!! We got some guy here in Birmingham who is doing that with the Fonzie version for $100, triple crossposts every 2-3 days for the last 6+ months....
Quoted from Puffdanny:If we don't destroy it we will mod them back in
You can hook the 3 spinning disks to the flippers with rubber bands.
Quoted from FelixTCat:Silverball Mania added to the collection today.
LOVE the artwork!
Finally got a chance to work on the project I've been dying to get to...,..maybe the nicest EM playfield I have ever seen. Sat in the same camp (near water) since 1977. Jones plugs and leafs have corrosion, but I think it will clean up nice. Now if only I can sorce a BG that does it justice...,.,..,.?
