  1. Allentown PA Pinball Wizard Show - April 30-May2 - Who's going?

    Anyone who could bring a pin back to Ontario? I have a possible buyer for my Paragon, but he's not sure he can make it down to Allentown.
  2. Pinball Hall of Fame

    It was there last weekend.
  3. Silverball mania inquriy

    I saw the pictures of that one here:http://picasaweb.google.com/Dan.Crouthamel0/SilverballManiaPinball119101230PM# To my eye "minor playfield wear" is an understatement and someone did a number on it with a sharpie. Still, it can be cleaned up and if the artwork is not your foremost concern...
  4. Pinball Hall of Fame

    I stopped by the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas this past weekend and had a great time. They have about 175 pinballs on the floor there, everything from wood rails to BBH, and John told me that was only about 1/5 of the total collection. I only recently rediscovered pinball and having been out...
  5. got me another pin.. Bally Eight Ball

    TP4 is 6-8 VAC, not VDC, so maybe you measured it without setting your DMM to read AC? Everything else is close enough that I wouldn't rebuild the power supply just yet. Check the high voltage test points on the solenoid driver board and see what you get there.
  6. EM drop targets not resetting

    I'm just starting to tinker with my first EM pinball, Capt. Fantastic. One problem I have is that the drop targets don't reset properly during play. They reset just fine at the start of a game, but if I knock them all down it just scores 3000 points over and over again and the targets don't...
  7. Anybody planning on any pinball expos this year?

    Allentown! Will be my first pinball show, as I've just found the hobby. I'll be bringing my Paragon machine for sure and possibly Captain Fantastic, though that one may not be ready. Looking to sell/trade the Paragon and maybe pick up another game or two if good deals present themselves. My...
  8. Second Pinball, first EM

    A few more photos
  9. Second Pinball, first EM

    Captain Fantastic followed me home yesterday. It's my second pinball and my first EM. I needed a new project because I ran out of things to fix on the Paragon machine I bought in January. This one will keep me busy for a while. I'm going to do a complete restore on this one. I know this...
  10. Showed some restraint and DIDN'T buy a game today...

    Sorry, I was about to make a thread about it but I was distracted. I'll make the thread later today after I get some sleep. It's a Capt. Fantastic, my first EM game.
  11. Showed some restraint and DIDN'T buy a game today...

    I did not exercise the same restraint today, and my second pin followed me home.....
  12. Eight Ball Deluxe Playfield Replacement

    Maybe it's just the web photos, but the colors on the CPR EBD playfields look bad to me. Compare a original And the CPR repro, where the 2 ball and the 4 ball look about the same color, as do the 7 ball and the 3 ball.
  13. which games have the hottest chicks on or in them?

    Someone already posted the Paragon backglass, but here's one from the playfield:
  14. My first pinball: Paragon

    Well I thought I was about done with the work on this machine, but today I discovered that the high voltage regulating circuit isn't working and thus the display drivers are getting too much voltage. Parts ordered, de-soldering iron warming up..... The playfield now looks like this: Here is...
  15. Stripping cabinet...

    These guys http://pinballpal.com/shay/ have some stencil kits.
