That's it

5-7 days has the habit of becoming a few weeks :-( But it is finally at the border and Friday is the day. The excitement level is rapidly rising and getting close to boiling temperatures

Ps! And to border patrol: Please take the day off

You using them as a mule?

It's here and I love it to death already. The place I picked it up was just a stone throw away from the border so you could see if there was any custom officers crawling nearby (I guess they took an early weekend )

Just had the time for a few games today. The only thing not working after transport was the cheap translite lamp. I have never seen the inside of a Stern backbox and was a bit shocked that they put such a cheap lamp there. It was exactly the same as I use in my kitchen lamp so no problem finding a spare

The Machine is in very good condition no wear at all except The Aragon ramp, ring ramp and the lower part of the ring.

"One Machine to bind them and take away their free time"

Tomorrow I will be installing Color dmds on TNG and WH20. Fun, fun ,fun

Very cool. Looking forward to some pics.

Congrats Karl! So when's the grand opening for your new arcade business?

 

[karl]

Thanks Jeff and Sean. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow but the arcade business will have to wait until Shadow, TZ and Metallica are here. Still a month away, but I am going to be prepared. I have ordered a few nice toys for tz, a new plexiglass backboard for shadow and some black mirror side blades for Metallica.

Let the games begin

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

Do share...what toys for the TZ?

I'll be sure to let you know how the AC/DC turns out.

Karl you can replace that cheap tube with LEDs.

looks way better than always lit neon tube.

 

[karl]

Thanks skill_shot. That looks like a nice improvement. Will have to wait a while though. For some strange reason my wallet is Sahara dry at the moment

Sean, did you order AC/DC? Now I am envious

This is what I ordered for TZ:

1. Stainless Steel Ball Chrome Shooter Rod Assembly
2. White Frost Town Square Street Light
3. Mirrored Custom Mini-Playfield Lamp
4. Mirror Polished Chrome Spiral Sign
5. RED Thunderbird w/ L.E.D.'s
6. Airliner Mod
7. Piano Mod
8. Silver Camera Mod
9. Ultimate Slot Machine Mod
10.Slot Machine Hole LED Kit
11.Gumball LED Mod Kit

Still not as many gadgets as you have on yours but I had to start somewhere

Btw: I have started to watch the old Twilight Zone episodes and I can't believe I haven't watched this show before. Fantastic stuff. On episode 13 now. more than a hundred left still but this is fast becoming my favorite show at the moment
