    From the "Restoration Institute" page.

    If you don't know how to spell (or even spell check for God's sake) I make a judgement call on your ability to teach me anything.

    Quoted from Hougie:

    I'm sure he's a good man...and thorough..lol
    Seriously though, is he fooling anyone? What's with this guy?

    He doesn't fool me. I can see through his 1992 goatee.

    Quoted from cfh:

    (Since you mentioned battery damage as "acid damage" just cements your total lack of knowledge and credibility on the subject matter too.).....You don't know crap because YOU WEREN'T THERE. You're just a monday morning quarterback at best.

    Actually he said" due to acid corrosion on the CPU boards." I didn't have a problem with that statement.

    And the chip on your shoulder, Clay. Whoa. CTFO.

    Randy Fromm has some great stuff out there. I've learned a lot from his vids and publications. I'm pleased to see him on Pinside and highly suggest supporting him. If he had a pinball show I would attend it.

    Quoted from vdojaq:

    Those exact guides that have helped every one of us in this hobby who have made their own repairs.

    Myself included. Clay has received a good sum of money from me in the past. The guides are gold, no doubt. Same with the Ninja site.

    But Clay also demeans, defaces, patronizes and destroys others he perceives have done him wrong. He's pulled that crap on me before. In my situation it was unwarranted, unsolicited and unappreciated. It resulted in my respecting the work but not the man behind it.

    To each his own...

    Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

    That is common knowledge, and many people who know that still use the word "acid" to refer to it. It is technically incorrect however anybody bringing that up to try and discredit someone's knowledge in general is just being silly.

    This exactly. Thank you. It's like calling "tissues" "Kleenex." Although not factually accurate I understood what the guy was writing about.

    #296 6 years ago
    Quoted from Homepin:

    Not quite.
    When people start stating things that are factually incorrect it can cause an avalanche of bad things.
    If someone comments "I have ACID damage" - the first thing thought would be - "neutralise the acid with the OPPOSITE then, something alkaline"
    That's when the problems start.
    Misinformation is a bad thing when connected to electronic repairs:
    "It's OK to short the tag of a transistor to ground to test things" - - - really? Sometimes yes, but NOT always. You MUST know what you are doing first.
    I dislike it when people casually say "acid damage" when they really mean "corrosion damage" or even "battery damage".
    Let's stop with the "acid damage" FAKE NEWS!!!

    I dislike it when people casually say "irregardless" even though I understand exactly what they mean. Using "irregardless" doesn't cause an avalanche of misinformation, however. We hear it. We understand. We move on.

    Quoted from Thrillhouse:

    If it is a frame job someone really spent some time doing it. I found his personal web page from his link on the Berkshire Hathaway home page. Bottom line is I think he really is this stupid. He also has a link to 3 books he "wrote" on there. I wonder how much of that content has been plagiarized.

    Careful. He's a best selling adventure novelist.

    #418 6 years ago

    On Amazon, it is their policy that an author be promoted to "best selling" if his book reaches a ranking of at least 4,290,130.

    And as you can clearly see his book "The Redcoats are Coming" ranks above that. So the joke is on all of you.

    Quoted from KenLayton:

    Who's pictures are these? Clay's? Randy's? Or have they been swiped from right here at Pinside?
    https://www.wildcardamusements.com/page4

    I don't know what's going on here but Wildcard appears to be a mirror of pinballclinic.com?

    Quoted from PiNDoCToR:

    Yes, that whole section was taken from my web site along with other sections of his site. I tried calling the number listed, but there is no answer. I did send him an email though. We'll see what happens. I been around for almost 20 years and have a couple thousand happy customers and know quite a few lawyers who would escalate this for me if it came to that.

    This guy appears to even be from your area?? Seriously?

    Your local news needs to put a go getter reporter on this. A realtor/best selling adventure novelist/pinball repair specialist with a "yacht" who when you peel back the layers turns out to be a complete fraud?

    That's good material right there. Worth an investigation for sure.

    Quoted from PiNDoCToR:

    I tried calling the number listed, but there is no answer.

    Perhaps try his real estate sales phone?

    Most of the Wildcard Amusement FB reviews are gone. Hmm.

    #444 6 years ago
    Quoted from Crash:

    Also need to expose the fact that they are deleting reviews.

    Well that's what I was wondering. Were they deleted by Wildcard or by the author? For example I saw Pindoctor did the most recent review but it's gone now. There was another one accusing Wildcard of cleaning playfields with Windex (I liked that one). That too is gone.

    #447 6 years ago
    Quoted from PiNDoCToR:

    I didn't delete my review, but it certainly is gone now.

    Interesting that several bad reviews remain. Were there particular ones that the coward didn't approve of?

    #453 6 years ago

    It's clear to me that pinballclinic now has a viable lawsuit path both with Mentzer and Wix.
