    What's the deal with this pin???

    Alright. I never really watched this show. In fact, when I saw it on PBS when I was a little one in the mid 80's I asked my grandmother to change the channel to some Gilligan's Island or Hogan's Heroes. It was just "so f*cking weird." Now I get the music is similar to a Pink Floyd...

    Eight Ball Deluxe

    Yup. FarSight did right by this one. EBD is one of my go to tables. Looks great on PS4. Now where's Fathom?

    No love for the Playstation

    To be honest guys, the PS4 is barely supported. I'd give up on PS3/Vita updates. I don't know why FarSight just doesn't announce when they're done with a platform. It's like they're afraid to. I'd chalk it up to a management problem more than a rank and file issue.

    Table Pack #61 Speculation

    Finally...some Lionman! :) Little historical tidbit. This pin was primarily designed by Steve Kirk who provided the layout for many of the classic Sterns from the early 80's. That's why it's kinda weird and not the typical System 11 you'd expect from Lawlor, Ritchie, etc. How he came to...

    I can never discount the nostalgia factor. I restored and sold a 1972 Gottlieb King Rock pin to a guy who drove almost ten hours to pick it up. A pooper of game but...the look on his face when he saw it was priceless. He played it with his buddy's in college and it brought back memories for...

    Table Pack #61 Speculation

    Alright. CJ is out on iOS. Where's the newsletter with info on the next (hopefully not) turd. :rolleyes:

    Downloaded the trial version on iOS. I've played this pin a couple times at shows. It never impressed. Neither does the digital version. I don't get it. How is this a more logical non-licensed Gottlieb SS release than, say Devil's Dare or Spirit? Ugh. Just disgusted.

    These pro modes are such crap and offer little value.

    I haven't bought the pro mode in a while. Scared Stiff is the only table I'd really recommend it because of the added dialogue. It can be helpful if your skills aren't up to snuff in one of the DMD games because you can change the amount of balls you get and Nerf some of the settings. This is...

    Happy Birthday Jeff

    Makes sense to me...:p

    Finally have a Centaur

    I'm still using my 10 year old Canon 30d. I'd like to upgrade but, only to full frame and that's....pricey. Anyway, for my wide shots I use a Sigma 10-20 and for the ball shots I use a Canon 60mm macro. It just seems like, in the age of the cell phone camera, everyone's a photographer. I...

    Season 6 - Thoughts So Far

    EBD and the Gottlieb EM's never get boring. The rest can suck a goat. :p

    Finally have a Centaur

    I used to post my work on flickr which included some of the pinball stuff but haven't in years. They had a 200 pic limit, unless you paid. I don't know if that's changed or not. If it has, maybe, I'll add some more. Photography has always been a love of mine but, in the end, it's just a...

    Stern Pinball Arcade first impressions

    My simple opinion on SPA. I'll buy them on PS4 for ten bucks a pop. BUT, not iOS. Just too much. I don't always buy every TPA release on iOS. And that's at five bucks.

    Finally have a Centaur

    Thank you guys for the complements. I had a chance tonight to take a couple photos. I really like the pic the lady holding the ball in B&W. It's kinda a mind f*ck the way it's rotated. Almost like the ball is growing from the playfield. By the way, the lady was a student of the artist, Paul...

    Finally have a Centaur

    Believe me, the less I had to replace, the better. But, to use LED's in these Bally's or early Sterns, you need either the Alltek board, those harness connectors or put resistors on just about every light socket. I didn't have the equipment to properly clean the MPU and there was no solenoid...

    Finally have a Centaur

    From my understanding Bally did not mylar their games but would supply a sheet to the operator to do themself. This one was applied decently but wasnt perfect at a couple edges so they started to lift. I took a razor blade and cut the lifting edges back to where it still stuck to the...

    Finally have a Centaur

    Anywho, this was a pain in the butt to finish. Especially, since I never worked on a Bally before. But, she's done and dragged up to my game room. Piece by piece since I have to do it myself. I'll have some more pics in the future but I'm happy it's done with. Pinball repair has become...
