Brought the Dr Who in the garage. Playfield is out and in the rotisserie. Cabinet disassembled and everything is removed. Ready to start stripping the artwork but have to go visit my dad first.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
It’s pretty awesome (moved the game alone from the basement to the garage). But it’s the forklift attachment that really makes it super duper crazy awesome lol.
Installed a 200lbs wall hanger juke yesterday. Alone. So awesome.
Also use it to install or remove pinball legs. All 4 at the same time.
Here’s a pic of when I removed it from it’s spot in the lineup with the forklift and pinball plate attachment. You can see how far the plate reaches cause I put a 1x3 board across so it doesn’t put all the strain on the bottom MDF board.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
Not just awesome, amazing! Yup, that forklift attachment would make it quite secure to move things around! But an escalator like yours almost looks magical when doing strairs!mrmikeman wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 1:01 pmIt’s pretty awesome (moved the game alone from the basement to the garage).

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
Finally catching-up on some pinball repairs backlog.
Work hours were absolutely crazy at the office & working from home during the last few months.
Glad I still have a job though!
- Worked on my Gottlieb Panthera that had been sitting for more than 10 years.
It is working now, except for the sound board that needs a no longer available chip.
Will probably order a replacement Pascal PI-FX sound board, shop the game, then sell the machine later.
- Fixed another Gottlieb Jet Spin for someone local. It needed contacts tightening/adjustments at multiple locations,
including the infamous/usual AX relay, the A relay, score motor, etc. No more score motor running continuously now!
- Received two more machines for repairs. A Gottlieb Card Whiz with drop targets resetting too soon & bonus lamps issues,
and a Sonic Butterfly that no longer worked. The Butterfly's Player Unit in the head was not ratcheting or resetting well.
Someone crafty modded its flippers to operate on DC in the past, instead of just the pops and slings alone.
And, I need to check why someone bypassed a set of NC contacts on the Extra Ball relay with an alligator clip (contacts are OK).
The associated 'Shoot Again when Lit' lamp has been removed too. Wondering if this was done to comply to local laws at the time.
Also took the opportunity to submit a picture of Butterfly (Inside Head) to ipdb.org.
Pic of the alligator clip bypassing the NC contacts on the Extra Ball relay below.
Happy New Year everyone and stay safe!

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
2 more pins sold. One has been delivered. One entering the shop as soon as I finish with 2 more I sold.
The reduction continues. Probably 6 more to go, minimum. Gotta make space.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
My latest machine in the lineup.... Circus!
I had what is basically a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grab a NOS (was NIB basically, but the box didn't survive) 10¥ machine from Japan.
This is from 1978 and is in like-new condition, except for the facts it's been sitting unused for 43 years and there's tiny amounts of environmental corrosion.
These machines had a high fatality rate in Japan as they'd often be placed outside of stores alongside vending machines under the front awning.
These things are pretty much never seen outside of Japan, and are pretty rare even in Japan, and I'm very happy to get it.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
I hear you on that. I've been tempted to buy NIB a few times and once I add the taxes, I buy something else. JP and new Avengers are so good, it's been tempting.
Congrats on your purchase.

I've been researching weird 20th century coinop from around the world for a couple of years, with a focus on Japan, Germany, and the UK, so I've had my ear to ground on the obscure histories of those countries.
I've loved the Japanese 10Y machines for a long time and didn't think I'd ever really have a chance to buy one, especially not a great condition one like this, but it came up on Yahoo Japan Auctions.
(I browse the sales/auctions in Japan, Germany, UK, Switzerland, France, and some other countries)
here is a video of the same game being played by the owner of 駄菓子屋ゲーム博 (Dagashiya Game Museum)
Actually if anyone has any Japanese 10 Yen coins I'm buying. They're not easy to find in Canada! I've tried a bunch of the currency exchange places.
(generally I'll also buy your american nickels and pre-decimal British pennies)

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
Well right now folks are asking 5 figures for their used premiums. Current exchange rate means NIB is 10000$CAD + tax = about 11500$.TwilightZone wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 9:59 amI hear you on that. I've been tempted to buy NIB a few times and once I add the taxes, I buy something else. JP and new Avengers are so good, it's been tempting.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
Yes, it's much money. But you're right, the business case is solid. The worst thing that could happen is for you to lose a bit of money when (if) you sell it later. Mostly, it's figuring out what else you could have done with 11 500$ lolmrmikeman wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 10:46 amWell right now folks are asking 5 figures for their used premiums.

Re: What did you do today in the hobby?
You won’t regret it Mike...
I got mine in July 2017 when it was first released and haven’t had any issues with it.
(Here’s hoping I didn’t jinx myself)
It’s a tough game that needs to be leveled just right but it’s a lot of fun...
Someone from Germany sent me custom code with more of the John Williams music to replace the custom tracks Stern put on the machine. But it’s 1.05 (and I think they just released 1.10).
Not a ton of differences in the code from .05 to .10 but I think there’s a way to convert it over to the new code with Pinball Browser...
I just haven’t ever put the time into figuring it out...
