Yesterday, I had the pleasure of imbibing Beau's at the House of Targ, playing some decent pins with good pal, Jason/The Evener (and losing), and rockin' out to an awesome 'The Who' cover-band, The Start.

Good times.

.... despite the darn tornadoes. Sh!t happens, hope for the best.

For those who did not get to see it, here is a 3-minute walkthrough of the show floor just before teardown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PdGE3U0At0 I didn't ask for a refund, and bought an extra shirt! 8-) Appreciate the walk-thru video, thanks. Conserving my battery, I took very few pics, darn...

Yeah, I'm interested!

... in gettin' my Time Line back!

BLEEEEAAAARRRRRRRRGH!

I'll give you back your $300 AND throw in a Hulk playfield!

Yes, width and length of the lower part of the base. 36" square. See my last pic.

Keep in mind that the first one is a Chexx and not a Super Chexx. No shots on goal. But the same gameplay and, yes, same dome. http://pinrepair.com/arcade/chexx.htm Also, the Chexx base does NOT split and has a footprint of 36" square. This has proved annoyingly difficult to get down basement s...

Ha! Centennial Arcade that I visited last Thursday has one! The Polish 'Jakar Arm Wrestler'.

Didn't play it though. I was scared of los ... err ... breaking the machine!

*phew*

Wow, that was a great match! DJ's last ball was nail-biting to watch! Thanks Cait!

Gotta fix my Ali.

What did I do today in the hobby? I danced.

Why? Because I have the 4-player version of this pinball machine.

Get the Asteroids multi-game kit!

... and make the custom control panel!

Go to 0:53 min to see project gameplay:

Went to Centennial Mini-Indy last Thursday! Fun! ... despite ending up in 3rd place racing against my kids. :cry: ... but I did kick their butts in the Centennial mini golf. 8-) Resized_20180823_171705.jpg And there is an arcade too! 20180823_172310b.jpg 20180823_165848.jpg 20180823_165823.jpg 20180...

Yeah, fantastic instructional thread.

Don't care for the Firepower as a game but interestingly nifty read nonetheless.

Thanks for the excellent contribution to the hobby.

Thanks for posting the Coleco version but I have to say the arcade version looks like more fun.

Thanks for the info - I will try later this evening when I get home. The battery themselves are new, but it looks like the battery holder was replaced at some point although it is hard to tell. The 3 batteries are vertical with positive end faced down. Not all three batteries are supposed to 'face ...

... and also visited 'Joysticks Arcade' in Wasaga Beach. Where is this arcade? I've been to Wasaga before but have never seen it. It's attached to the Copa Cabana bar. Not 'Splash' anymore: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/copa+Cabana+Bar/@44.5242362,-80.0199665,3a,75y,109.83h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5...

5 Jacks is circa 1930 (though mine is a recast done 25 years ago or so) The Arrangeball is assumed to be 1975, and is definitely the most addictive pachinko-style machine I've ever played. You can search "Arrangeball" on youtube for lots of gameplay vids, but why not just come to the Otta...

More fun! Visited 'Georgian Grill' in Balm Beach! Awesome. 20180814_142659.jpg 20180814_140832.jpg 20180814_132052.jpg 20180814_131841.jpg 20180814_164331.jpg ... and also visited 'Joysticks Arcade' in Wasaga Beach. 20180814_181257.jpg 20180814_180701.jpg 20180814_180629.jpg 20180814_180730.jpg

Hey! Both are neat but that 'Sammy Miracle Super' looks really nifty! New-to-me!

What year was it made? Can you please post a gameplay vid?

I had fun!

Visited Pop's Mini Putt and arcade while visiting Turkey Point! Awesome.

Yep, high score on Ms. Pac.

Great resto problem-solving thread with helpful pics, thanks.

So nifty.

Perfect score on Groetchen Pike's Peak 1941

Pike's Peaks looks an awesomely simple challenge.

Gimme!

Awesome. Have to put together a list ...

2 small new additions to my space-limited arcade... Even had to import pennies to play them! Expect to play these at the Ottawa Gameroom show come September. Those two are so cool. Had no idea they existed and quickly looked them up. Pace Manufacturing Co. made a bunch of games! You need 'Pen-Nee-G...
