I would prefer to order direct as I've done it many times before and I'm just in the habit of doing so. Robert and Mike need to keep the lights on, so they need to make a profit by marking things up a little bit. I don't mind paying that little bit extra to them, but like I said I'm already in talks...

I've asked Jimmy if it's just easier for me to order locally through one of the vendors here. Canada Post money orders are no longer accepted. I don't think Steve is going to be taking BitCoin any time soon so my options are pretty limited. I don't think I've had this much difficulty trying to give ...

Order through Robert at Alouette. They order from PBR weekly I believe. I'll do this next time. I'm already in conversation with Jimmy. They had an online option last time I ordered, worked for me. Jimmy sent me all the payment details when I ordered. He mentioned this option but also said it wasn'...

Hi guys. I am placing an order with PBR. This isn't my first order. Their payment options have changed. I use to send an international money order in USD, but these are no longer accepted. Jimmy has told me they are no longer able to cash them. I'm actually surprised it took this long for them to be...

Now that I have my grail (thanks Jason), I've been working on making it mine. My primary focus has been on my beat up Surfer though. I was going to wait until next spring to refurb the cabinet (something I have always wanted to try) but I am thinking of adding heaters to my garage now and making thi...

I could look at this thing all day.

Yikes !! @ Biffs4300

I agree with the yikes, but did anyone take over this in Ontario?

Great looking pins Guard!

Craig, I have to bail on tonight. I feel like garbage. I am pretty sure it is just a cold but either way I'm not taking chances being around people. I'll see how I am in the morning.

This thing is going to be so beautiful. I'm jealous of it.

I can store it for you if you want for as long as you need.

Reported. Pretty childish. I wish I had the time to think of these clever things and actually post them. I could use that time to cure cancer.

I wish they would have created these using titles that haven't already been done. Use some of the virtual tables that have been created. I think that would have hit home with the likes of us pinball fanatics then.

[EDIT] So after you use too much pressure and break off two of the legs under the insert... How do you remove the insert? Does anyone have one of those deep clamps that can be used for installing a new insert in the middle of a playfield? I had this problem before. Old inserts are often brittle if ...

I replaced the star rollovers in my Gottlieb Surfer. The old ones were broken, and dirty. To get the old ones out I cut the shafts off. I cleaned the top of the inserts and installed the new ones. The news ones went in fine, but they are getting stuck in the down position. I should have cleaned the ...

Thanks Craig. Why is this format termed "Herb Style"?

Could someone explain "Herb Style" to me? I have no idea what that is.

Lol I already have the double sided backlit posters to make a nice little corner, ordering a 3rd LED frame for the last poster in tryptic!!! Tron will be happy there!!!

Link to the LED frames? Curious of the cost and sizes available.

Thanks for the advice. I thought that it might rust up again quickly too, so I ended up waxing everything. I didn't want to use any oils. I used the XXX Carnuba Wax that Adriano use to use on his projects. Hopefully this will help.

Thanks Sparky! Thanks Rob!

Here's what I was dealing with and how it turned out.

Here's a link to a zip folder containing 38 photos. If you are interested please let me know.

If you are having difficulties with the link let me know. I haven't done this before...

For receivers I start with a brass wirewheel. If the rust/crud is stubborn I switch to steelwheel.

Thanks Rob. Are you using a Dremel with a brass wirewheel? I bought a bunch of these but I find the brass wires fly out even on low speeds. How does it come apart?

Hi guys, I'm doing some clean-up on my Surfer. The lockbar receiver was a rusty, corroded, ooze-filled mess. I removed it from the pin and I've been using my dremel to sand it down. The one side is coming out great, but the lockbar fin is in the way on the other side. Are these things riveted togeth...
