Re: FS: prewar pinball machines, pachinko, antique billiards toys

WOW! Interresting stuff Cait, I read everything in your post...... but I really don't collect or even want more than 2 games in my game room, I'm even seriously thinking of selling one of the 2 to keep only one game. Interresting because those are oddballs and they take up much less room than a ...

Re: Williams Madonna-themed pin

It's a real shame they didn't pursue it further!
I've been archiving Koziarz's stuff on my blog, I'll have to add the new stuff since he moved from Mastodon to Bluesky.

It looks so damn good. I really love how they integrated the shotgun in two ways.

Re: carving rebound rubbers?

I have to confess I do not know about the saws that both of you mention. :)

And does anyone have an idea of a rubber that could work for replacing the smartball one? 20mm tall is taller than a rebound rubber... (needs to also be 19mm diameter circle)

Re: carving rebound rubbers?

The first rubbers I need to replace are for my smartball machines. I'm only now realizing a rebound rubber might be too short. For the smartball games I need a 20mm tall rubber with a 18-19mm diameter. Any idea what I could use there? 20241104_102630.jpg (rebound rubber on left, the original ...

carving rebound rubbers?

An EM rebound rubber has the thickness and bounciness I need for a few applications, but it's the wrong shape. I've tried carving them before, but with poor results.
Anyone have tips on how to slice and reshape rebound rubbers for other replacements?

Re: Metallica remastered

I think it looks beautiful. At least the LE does. I don't understand the Premium aesthetics. The colours don't jive for me.
The most exciting aspect of this for me is that it makes me think games like Tron, LOTR, and TSPP might get Remastered editions too.
