If anyone has a lead on where to obtain classic Stern spinners please let me know! I would like either or both of these part numbers 14A-7-1 and 14A-7-2.

Sorry gang this event is canceled.

This thread has turned into more of a shop log than a single issue but I don't see how to change the title. Anyway today I got fed up with the sticking right flipper and decided to figure out what's going on. It was pretty obvious, though I couldn't get a good photo. Here's what a flipper EOS assemb...

Update: This will be an unranked event - no IFPA/WPPR points awarded.

Next event will NOT be held Friday, March 27th at Gil's house in Orleans! :( It is CANCELED. Sorry. We will continue using the same tournament format: four hours of group match play, no strikes, no playoffs. Event details: ⋅  Doors open at 6:30pm, tournament starts at 7pm SHARP. ⋅&nbs...

Great!

It's in very poor condition, see photos here. Packaged in a nice box from CPR. Does not include trim pieces.

If nobody wants, it will soon go into the garbage.

I took advantage of the nice weather again today, to replace the rectifier board. The original is badly damaged, hacked, bypassed, etc. First, remove the entire power assembly from the cabinet. It's much easier to work on a bench, and all of the soldering can be performed outdoors. start.jpg After s...

Thank you so much for inviting us Tom, that was awesome!!

Congrats to Phil for the win!

I finally found a suitable piece of scrap metal to make a pin extraction tool. It was excess trimmed from a pop bumper lamp socket with flat leads like this: https://www.pinballlife.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/Lamp%20Socket%20Pop%20Bumper%2024-8776.jpg I saved that little scrap for years thinking it m...

There is another problem with this game. Two of the controlled lamps are not correct. Apparently when it was on location at North Star, they used a Rottendog driver which required the change, then they forgot to change it back. Two of the wires connected to the driver board have to be swapped. count...

Ok but why would those chips fail? Is there a way to test the integrity of the score glass? There is no visible damage. One page I read suggested the resistor could fail but still test ok in circuit, so I guess it would make sense to replace that too.

Huge thanks to Sylvain for checking the health of the power supply and giving it a little tune up. :) Sadly it didn't affect the symptoms. So I returned to pinrepair, pinwiki, etc. looking for some explanation. But I shouldn't always just trust what is written... finally I tested with each score dis...

Cool, enjoy!

Reminder event coming up this weekend! If you're on the list but unable to attend, please let one of us know.

I've got a couple of those knocker assemblies including the coil as well.

Very nice project!

Thanks for inviting us Frank! It was a great time as always.

Congratulations to Carter for winning yet another tournament!

There was an exciting tiebreaker for second place which Jason finally won, leaving third place for Steve.

It's been a while since the last post about this project. I never was good at keeping up with a "blog". For a few months Flight 2000 gathered dust after my work area got demolished. But recently Craig brought two more games, and so it became necessary to get organized properly once again. ...

guess you now have to prebook 1.5 months in advance. Can someone put my name in for March please. Me too...put mine in for the rest of the year! Sorry that privilege is reserved for hosts. In any attendance limited event there is a possibility of some people being disappointed. However historically...

Don't worry purist, that can be reverted in original status in 10 minutes

I like it! Factory ball guides are too low and the ball jumps over easily.

Next event will be held Sunday, February 23rd at Tom's house near Carlingwood! We will continue using the same tournament format: four hours of group match play, no strikes, no playoffs. Event details: ⋅  Doors open at noon, tournament starts at 1pm. ⋅  Entry fee is $10 per perso...

Less than a week until this event! If you're on the list but unable to attend, please us know.

I think it's a fantastic game, one of the best system 11, with amazing sounds and music. Some people complain that it's all right flipper, and maybe that's true for a tournament. But at home on free play, I really learned to enjoy the lower playfield as well, mastering the loop shot for great satisf...

Looks beautiful. GLWS
