Fun stuff! Coleco Adam was my first computer. I managed to buy and repair one a few years ago. I'd suggest looking into fujinet and the ADE pro drive emulator. No need for tapes anymore!

You can also buy a multi-cart for all the games.

Art of Noise for sure!

I could use one for Dr Who if you have one of that style?

Still lurking.

Maybe next year I can make it. There is always 4 things book the first weekend of June. Maybe pick the following weekend?

I love a good set of knockers. Oh wait we're talking about pinball!

The size and shape of the backbox I bet has quite a bit to do with the sound as well. It might be an interesting experiment to run them all in the same backbox and record the different sounds.

I brought two pins yesterday to World of Retro Computing: https://worldofretrocomputing.com/

They were played non-stop for 6 hours straight once I set them up. Small shot of them in the end of a local news segment: https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2509457

Congrats to those involved creating it!

Thanks to all the people who contributed positively over the years !

Worst pin I moved was Stargate. 385lbs. 3 of us to get it out of the guys basement over immaculate hardwood and granite tile. I bought a brand new dolly for the adventure.

Should have it sorted with GILV.

Thanks!

I've found some retro computer things in St Georges but they seller won't ship. They are not that large, anyone nearby that could pickup and ship to me?

At $250/hr in the Comanche that would be $1000 round trip! Makes the fuel seem cheap.

At the latest price of diesel, I think I'll pass on the 600km drive now.

It's not the putting the pin in the car for me, it's the 6 hr drive

If I come I will bring a machine to likely sell. Will confirm a few weeks before.

I'd play if it wasn't IFPA.

So want to come, so far away. I've never made this event because it resides on the same day as 2 other events I usually attend, but i think those are out this year.

sold.

Yeah free to a good home before I hit the recycler.....

Bar top game machine. Missing license dongle, but boots. Touch screen unit and CRT working. Good project to repurpose?

Free. Pickup near Stratford.

Damn.

I will play a few games of Dr Who and Pinbot tonight in his honour.

I barely had to run the snow blower here.

I have decided today Firepower will move into my 5 keepers line up. I'll call it the Fantastic 5 - Mars GOW, Black Hole, Pinbot, Firepower, Dr Who. Originally I thought I would fix FP to sell, but I'm really enjoying it. Pinbot is in there because it was given to my son as a present 10 years ago, I ...

I personally don't play much, I would rather fix and test play, but some games and some of the people I love and appreciate can certainly revive that player spark in me, a spark that will likely never die out completely as long as there is something to think about besides a ruleset and score. I ...

Hauled my ass out of pinball retirement and finally got my Firepower up and running. It's been sitting here for probably 3 years in the corner! Replaced all the Molex connectors for the thru pins that join the boards together. Traced the sound card issues- no speech. Started with the logic side of ...
