    Red Tent Red Powder Coat Questions: Part One

    I haven't done any red tents but I've done coin doors and what I've found works best is to get a paintable rocker guard spray from an autoparts place. Clean up the metal as best you can (I sand blast if it's bad, but I have a sandblast cabinet), then spray an even coat or 2 of the rocker guard...

    Biscuit Joiner

    I'm the same. "Buy the best tool you can afford" Is my mantra -but.......I temper that with some common sense (usually). I have a deWalt biscuit joiner. I've had it about 10 yrs. Haven't used it in 2 years, and I've cut maybe 200 pockets with it -it's hardly broken in !! So, in retrospect, I...

    Operation Wolf basement rescue

    Sketchy !! Need some pics of the fins to see if it was worth it.

    Anything is saveable if you care enough. That artwork is awesome.

    NEW Future Home of Galaxy Blue

    Can't really be surprised these days if our kids aren't really super-interested in 35+ yr old games. I've got my 13 yr old wanting to build a Joust from scratch as a winter project. We'll see if it happens...

    Is This One Of Us?

    Just one of the many examples of why I don't even look at eBay !

    First thought was Time Pilot, but Centuri for sure.

    25K7101 Takes forever to come on

    Rejuvenated it a number of years ago. It's in a cab we didn't play too often but now put a BitKit into and we are playing it daily.

    25K7101 Takes forever to come on

    While a normal CRT takes maybe 30 seconds to show some life and max 60 secs before it's fully bright, my 7101 (in a Dynamo cab) can take 6+ mins to show life and them reds come on followed by greens and finally blues. All in all, 8, 9 mins before its playable. I capped it a few years back and...

    Tapper Owners - Do your Tap/Pour Handles rotate? End that nonsense and lock them down how Midway may have intended :)

    I'm going out on a limb here but I'm guessing that they allowed the handles to rotate to stop vandalism. Flat handles like that beg to be twisted by frustrated players so just let them rotate...

    Solar Fox "RAM ERROR F7"

    Thanks. Not sure how that got confused but the fact that the other RAM chips are labeled "RAM" on the drawing and this one isn't, certainly didn't help :rolleyes:

    Solar Fox "RAM ERROR F7"

    Just fixed my Solar Fox power supply a few days a go and left the game on all day to charge the backup battery. Next day, I'm getting "RAM ERROR F7" on boot. Best I can make out, F7 is a sound generator chip, not RAM. Good chance it just needs to be reseated from the heat but before I do...
