Re: Replay Knockers - a winning sound
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.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
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

Re: Movers in ottawa
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.

Anyone near St Georges, QC?
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.

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.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
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'...

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
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 enj...

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
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 t...
