Re: Has Anyone Travelled to the US?

Please please please just pay for your test instead of clogging up the already strained health care system with unnecessary nonsense. In order to get a free test from your local health care system you need to declare you have symptoms or have had close contact to COVID. THIS is enough for the Public...

Re: LF: white posts

When I restored my Sure Shot, I ran into the same issue with the posts. Many disintegrated upon removal. It was a widespread issue with Sure Shots and other titles released that year, I'm told.

Re: The Allentown 2018 thread!

I'm happy with my new Allentown addition. And a new bingo enthusiast is born! I bought this beauty from Nick Baldridge (he of the For Amusement Only Podcast, and Multi-Bingo programming fame). It made the trip back home home safely with only a few minor adjustments needed to get it working properly....

Bay Area Amusements also has the glass in stock for $249.00USD. Maybe check their shipping fees and see if they are a bit cheaper?

I'd consider purchasing it, but I'm really just after a high resolution scan or really good quality photograph of one for a project I'm working on. The resolution of the one on IPDB will not work for what I'm a...

The side hinge is chewed at the top and bottom, and the shell is dented and twisted. I will try to work on mine, but I was hoping to find something complete nearby to avoid it.

Re: FT: Bally Carnival Queen Bingo / Interest check

Like Cait, I've always wanted to dip my toe into the bingo pool. This game looks to be the perfect example for someone to do just that.

If I had trade bait, I would make an offer. GLWT for a great guy and an asset to our hobby.

With Pinitech's DIY Retrofit Conversion LED Display kit, you can use the parts from broken or outgassed Bally/Stern displays and turn them into a set of fully-fuctioning low-voltage LED displays. What once was old, is new again...and for a fraction of the cost of an aftermarket plug-and-play display...
