Re: Garage Pin Season

It’s that time of year again. I would really like to put a Star Wars Pod Racer in here for the summer.

Sparky is finishing up a cocktail vid for me and hopefully it will be placed in the garage in the near future.

Re: Looking For Star Wars Pod Racer

Read up on the issues with Sega Hikaru boards when being shipped if you do find one for sale. During transport, the heatsinks rip off and cause all sorts of damage. There may be some special precautions to take before you drive hitting bumps in the road with one of these monsters in the back of a ...

Quebec City to Montreal Area

Is anybody headed to Quebec city over the holidays that can pick up some parts for me? Nothing big or crazy. I need them transported to Montreal, Mirabel or Ottawa areas.

Send me a message if you can. Thank you.

Re: Gottlieb Star Race Playfield Question

Full respect and so much thanks to mrmikeman for helping me breathe life back into this turd. Some playfield touchups and this thing will be as good as new. :D

I could still use some playfield plastics for Spit Second and Star Race if anyone has anything laying in a box.
