It just reflected my frustration. LOL

One hour to a month off...…..going to be some rearranging of the man cave so I can move around, and hopefully 4 or 5 nice EM's for sale at the end. [could include Volley, Fire Queen, Spanish Eyes, Sure Shot, Capt Card]
I need space.....


EDIT: unless I just float in the pool and drink all month.

The other night JF came over and with masks on he gave me a tutorial in cleaning steppers and now my Regatta is playing excellent once again!
It's amazing how so many types of grease don't have the longevity of whatever they used back then, even the PBR grease.

Regatta is such an amazing wood rail. But it also reminds me that it was almost a year ago I bought it at OPGS which like every other pinball show is not happening due to the pandemic.
To 2021!

So that took less then 2 hours to buy another pin..

That's what I figured, good for you! That's one easy transaction! Now, next step is to make some room..lol

[mrmikeman]

Kinda like Guard, I have a month to go on my 6 week break from work. So far I have dismantled the home theatre room and put everything on Kijiji/FB. This is the biggest room in the house and is now my gameroom. Moved all the pins in there. Started decorating. Waiting for some lit frames for translites. Going to make one for my amazing Star Race BG. Waiting on mods for my WOZ and MMr. Taped some cheapo Amazon battery powered xmas lights to the back of the spare Dr Who playfield. Works for me! https://youtu.be/Fj4WBtANQJU

Also making room in the house so my gf can move in. Dirt bikes up for sale. Rockola juke up for sale. Lots to do. Still need to move the pinball parts and tools to the new gameroom.

Dr Who shop out and cabinet re-decaling will probably be next week as I still need to make room in the garage. Need to go dump a bunch of electronics as well as the guts from the Seeburg juke.

Gameroom progress so far.

Lol, pins first before making room for the gf, yup, you've got this in the right order!

Dude... She LOVES playing pinball... making a bigger gameroom is part of the plan to get her to move in

Also.. The room the pins were in is going to be her office... the whole work from home thing...

I guess we're both lucky then! Gf not only loves arcade but pins as well. I barely have to hide from her how much those toys cost, lol.. and, yeah, the work from home thing.. we're both spending more work hours than ever. 4 monitors, keyboards, mice, sit-stand tables, ergo chairs.. now we need to work on a routine to cut the cord and keep to a schedule, we just don't seem to be able to!!

Very, very nice lineup!

Yeah she knows how much I paid for the toys. There's always a bit of a shock (especially the NIB) but wears off quickly because the games are so much fun lol..

We both will have our own office space. She's very much "business work hours" because of what she does. I'm more task oriented and get things done but not necessarily between 8-4. For example on my 6 weeks vacation I am actually working about 1 hour/day 3 days/week. Just checking emails and responding to things only I can action. That totally doesn't bother me. Not like I have big travel plans. Being military I don't count hours like public servants would.

[Sparky]

[mrmikeman]

Nah. It's more like "ohhh.. $16,000 for MMr? Wow that would be a nice downpayment on a house... Or a hell of an engagement ring..." lol

My response is always: "Why yes, it would".

Then we both laugh our asses off and go play pinball...

Those games are fun!! My gf is totally into the few pins we have, I swear she argues with Hulk! Her game is Pac-Man, thou. That game will never leave.. and we don't count hours, lol, that's the issue! Btw, thank you for your service! We don't have enough military and you clearly don't have the equipment a professional military deserves, unfortunately..

One hour to a month off...…..going to be some rearranging of the man cave so I can move around, and hopefully 4 or 5 nice EM's for sale at the end. [could include Volley, Fire Queen, Spanish Eyes, Sure Shot, Capt Card]
I need space.....


EDIT: unless I just float in the pool and drink all month.

So that took less then 2 hours to buy another pin..

And 2 days to buy another one. Very clean for its age.

Nice!
I fixed and shopped one of those for a local MAACA member in early 2015.
Time flies.

I got an Iwata LPH-80 spray gun and painted the Gay 90s cab with latex. Worked well, I had to thin the latex with water. Then applied silver splatter with my airbrush. Next up painting with stencils I had cut at sculpteo.com — no free laser cutting at the library. If this goes on too long I might have to buy a CNC

I feel better spraying latex than using rattle cans. Also bought a Nix colour matcher so the paint store mixed the right colours for me, easy-peasy.

Bought a spray gun cleaning kit, they actually sent me another LPH-80 which is a $300 gun. We’ll see if they want me to send it back!
