Gottlieb Spiderman playfield or playfield pics wanted Posted this over in rec.games.pinball too. I've got a Gottlieb Spiderman and the playfield is terrible. I've had it for about 5 or 6 years and am finally ready to do something about it. There's a large area just above the flippers that is...

I've been the proud owner of a working Omega Race for about 5 years now, and I've done my research, so I know what I'm asking and I know it's not easy. When I got my Omega back in 2004, I had a great repair guy who got my boardset up and running. He is no longer working on boards, so I'm...

Hmm. Well, it's actually neither. I bet the rivets were from someone who had removed the seats before. These little screws don't have a cap on them. They have a solid head that is smooth. Used a good pair of pliers and was able to grip them and remove them. Just 4 screws held the back on...

I'll check that out in the morning. The machine is at my workplace. Sounds like you "hit the nail on the head". I'm assuming the caps were to discourage people from removing screws. Hadn't they come up with security screws then, or was it just cheaper to use the screws with the pan head...

Does it really matter exactly where this post is? I'm trying to restore my Sinistar so it made sense to me to post this question in the restoration section. Here is a picture of the screw/rivet/bolt. Looks just like a screw to me, but the head of it is round and has no slot in at all. This...

Just trying to clarify if you're telling me this from experience or just based on my description. I thought they sure looked like rivets myself, but one of them was loose and I was able to remove it by turning it. The one I removed was threaded like a screw. If you've already done this...

How in the world do you do this. I want to do some repairs on a cracked seat and can't figure out how to remove the seat or the plastic piece on the back side of the cockpit. Instead of screws that are slotted, philips or some type of security bit, the screw heads are all round and smooth. Is...

200 games for sale in Lincoln, Nebraska - anybody see this in person? I saw it in person and grabbed a few machines for parts. Omega Race upright and cabaret, both with typical acid damage. There are about 6 Spyhunters and Pole Positions in there, big surprise. I picked up one of the...

Sinistar Cockpit PM me. I might be interested in making a long road trip for it if the price is right. I don't have any of the games that you are looking to trade for, sorry.
