Well I made it halfway through my pinball row today and they are all currently working.

Nice to get the Captain back on duty. This one has been in the family since about 79'.

I like ToM. I think the problem most players have with it is it is easy to beat. I admit that is true but it is fun too. Beginners like it alot and visitors to the arcade will play it more than most pins.

BoP is probably my favorite out of these but I go back and forth between it and PB. Nothing beats a really great game of Pinbot in the dark with the sound cranked up. :rock:
 
Nice Perf. Pin rows look so much more badass than vid rows.
 
Hell you left out the best machine in the row- Scared Stiff!
(you can see it to the left of Captain Fantastic)
Nice collection

Thanks Fellas :)

Made a little more progress today by fixing SS. The middle coffin opto receiver LED was bad. This would result in the machine always thinking 2 balls were locked in the coffin. The machine would open the coffin at random times thinking it needed to eject one of the balls back to the trough. This would also result in incorrect function of the coffin lock/multiball during gameplay. We diagnosed the problem first by cleaning all optos in that section both send and receive with no change. During the Coffin test the middle switch would always remain blocked. We then used an iPhone (camera app) to check the transmitter LED's. They were lighting up so it had to be on the other side. We then moved the middle receiver opto to another position in the 3. The error followed the opto therefore we knew we had the problem part.

So now I have Elvira ready just in time for Halloween! :headbang:

Just 2 more to go!!
 
Here's a partial row. I wasn't actually trying to do much except for see how pins looked at a wide angle. My lens doesn't go as wide as I need for the effect I'm looking for, but I thought it was an interesting pic anyway.

1 to go!

Well I got around to AFM and it seems to be working fine. In the past it had been kicking balls out of the trough at random times and for no good reason. I cleaned optos and contacts before I even fired her up this time so maybe that did the trick. Time and a few good games should tell us for sure.

Only 1 more to go! Woot! ;)

That Sacared Stiff is SWEET!!!!!!You have to do some of the led mods for this machine. It looks incredible!

I love your paneling. Reminds me of the trailer house I grew up in. Your pins are pretty sweet too. Seems back in the 70's, pins were always in rooms and bars with that type of paneling. Your pics bring me back.
 
But wait theres more.....I see another machine next to the Attack from Mars, what is it? I like your collection, seems like your house is the place to be for holidays and parties, I bet the kids of family and friends have a BLAST! Great job, and most of all thanks for posting your games! Jeff
