Brought my first Pinball home today...Back to the Future

Well,
I sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay to round up the money to get my first Pin...one I really wanted...I know its not a Williams or Gottlieb but its a blast to play and the movie is one of my favs! I'm kinda nervous to tinker with it but it has a few bulbs to replace and I'd like to clean up the playfield and replace the rubbers...time to do some research and buy some Novus...who is the most reliable source for pinball rubbers and bulbs? Its also shooting out two balls at a time which I assume is just a setting I need to switch. Need to learn how to do that too...manual time!

Heres a few pics...

I'm taking a break from buying for real! :)

Looks good! I played that title a long time ago and remember it being fun. I also enjoy those movies and wouldn't mind having one of those in my house...
 
I recently had the same problem with my Getaway pin shooting 2 balls at once and it was simply just due to the fact that I had to many pinballs in the game. I cut it down to 3 and it works great now. Might work for you.
 
BayAreaAmusements.com is the place I bought all the swag for my SMB. $14.95 for a rubber set. Dirt cheap.
 
One of my favs

Great Pick-up!! BTTF is one of my favorite pins...I had one until I was forced to sell it in 2006..really miss that machine! Love the movies too

Take it easy

True
 
Jealous!

I'm not sure I will ever end up with a pin, but if I did....this would be one that I would target (even though the pin-heads think it is not too good). But I really like the look of it and I love the movies.
 
I'm assuming Michael J Fox didn't clear them to use his face. I always thought that was kinda funny too. The sound samples are mostly from the movies too, but the ones with his voice are different. I liked this pin too, played it alot in the student union building at college.
 
Anyone in the Maryland area want to make some cash and shop it out for me? I'd like to see it done once and have it set up correctly. Shoot me a pm
