Re: What did you do today in the hobby?

No different than the first games of every new controller generation. They got better as they learned how to get the most out of the systems (SS, SYS 6, SYS11, WPC)

Re: Stern MPU to Sound card cable needed SB300 Stern Wyld Fire

I bought a ribbon cable making kit on amazon many years ago. After a few cables it paid for itself. If you only make 1 or 2 then maybe not really cost effective.

The seller has only 2 posts. His FB add is gone. I suspect it’s sold a long time ago.

Re: carving rebound rubbers?

Probably a bit too thick for an inexpensive laser cutter.

3/4" hole saw? Remove the drill bit from the center and just use the saw. Drill press will keep it straight. 3/4" = 19mm

Re: Metallica remastered

So. The original LE sold for 7600$. They've changed nothing. BOM is the same with newer electronics. Obviously overhead has increased dramatically at Stern. Bottom line is that they programmed 3 new modes and a few new songs. However the game remains the same. "more robust" is marketing lingo that ...

Re: Metallica remastered

And of course after saying they wouldn’t re-release LEs here they are doing it. There will always be an excuse, like calling it remastered lol.

FT: 2 of my games for your Elton John (CE)

Wouldn't mind trading 2 for 1 for a used EJCE. Not interested in other EJ trims. The CE topper is key for me. I looked up the current Pinside selling prices (games that have actually SOLD) for EJCE and also games from my lineup. Here's what I found (average prices in USD): EJCE: 14k USD (15kUSD for ...

Re: FS/FT Monte Carlo SS

It's rather rare that someone will be willing to "trade down" drastically. Probably quicker and easier for you if you sell the Monte Carlo and then just buy the game you want.

FS: Various P3 modules

I've come to realize that my wife doesn't enjoy these modules as much which means I never play them as well. Instead of letting them collect dust I figured I'd give a chance to someone else to actually play them. Most of them come with the apron magnet, as well as sling and side target plastics. No ...
