What did you do today in the hobby?

[Pindude152]

With Tombiosis' help, was able to finally get my lineup back in the games room and running again.
Feels so good to have that out of the way.

Nice! Sorry my schedule did not match yours. Glad you got your gameroom back

After having it for the last 5 months in the shop , to swap the PF for a CPR, i finally powered up Captain Fantastic !!!

[mdeslaur]

Managed to figure out why my Speakeasy was tilting by itself when I had people over. Of course, it always worked fine the next day...

I finally left it on all day without playing it and it happened. The heat was causing one of the eproms to become flaky. Power cycling it while it was hot resulted in a failed rom test on the MPU.

Played pinball at home, played pinball at a friend's house, fixed a bonus counter, and got these sweet glass marquees delivered from Pinburgh

I would like to see a video of this. I was so bad at this game and would like to see how to play this thing....

I received a package today. A very special package.

Seems to be in good shape. I wonder what's inside?

Hrm. Seems to be another box.

Can you recognize the game from the reverse? What's going on here? What could it possibly be?

Yes! That's right! It's a Meteor playfield, new old stock. In fact, it's the one CPR scanned for their unreleased reproduction. Ready for a very minor touch up and clear coat. Excited!

[DrDude]

As a total Meteor-head, I can say you are ONE LUCKY BASTARD!

Freshened up the LEDs in both Tag Team and Dragon before this weekend's show. They are now both bright and beautiful and ready to go.

Hrm, almost. Still have to reconnect the tilt bob in Dragon to protect it from you hooligans.

As an aside, anyone who can bring three Comet Optix Maximus in Sunlight White will be a real hero: I miscounted before ordering.

Ready to go for this weekend's show. Monty and I could still probably use a hand tomorrow morning to get them upstairs.

Solved the mystery of why no two meteors have the Kirk post in exactly the same place... It was never part of the drilling registration in the factory. The NOS playfield doesn't have the hole!

Super cool! The position of the post has such a tremendous influence on the play of the game (I call using Steve's out-hole post "the parachute shot": Assume that your parachute is going to open and DO NOT touch those flippers!), so this is surprising. Very weird.
