Gman states: "I heard that the ink on the back glass can shrink and peel if allowed to get too cold." Oh great :!: I wonder if covering the head with a blanket (in the winter) would suffice? It also gets hot in our garage in the summer. Today I bought a surge protector for the pinball mach...

I took Jerry Fakehany's post as a reminder, not as a complaint. After all we are so used to hearing those cartoon characters speak in English that we might forget this machine is for the Japanese market.
By the way my Caribbean Queen has some Japanese singing---which I enjoy hearing.

Was referring to the parlor. Pin working well. If you get all the multiple sequences done & the lights lit, you can certainly rack up some points! Of course for me Murphy's Law takes over & the extra ball(s) seem to drain quickly. Did get more than 1,000,000 points in one game but since the ...

I did see the Shout and appreciate the offer. Thank you. A new one came with it. How can you tell if a replacement is needed? I guess even little tiny pits are not good to the playfield.

Per arraking: "That's why I like pachi's, they require little maintenance, and take up less space to boot." Do agree, but have wanted one of the older/simpler pins for a long time--just never thought I'd be able. If I had gotten the Aztec there would have been enough money left over for an...

A pin at last!

It finally happened. Received the 1979 Williams solid state Tri Zone yesterday. Wife had told me the garage had to be re-arranged & a lot of stuff thrown out first, but she relented some when there were some major improvements. He did bring it over sooner than I had thought he would--must have w...

That just doesn't seem right :!: It's like Mr. Ed speaking Mexican, or almost as bad as the Star Spangled Banner in sign language.

No Chris I haven't played it enough to gain much of anything on it. Don't enjoy the video theme much. It would probably be a different story (no pun intended) if I had a Rodeo Charlies Angels or Club Rodeo---even though they have LED screens. I bought it as a tinker & learning experience, with h...

Actually the gameplay is not the greatest----but it has nice lighting. I like the belly glass also. After (if) selling it probably will have Mike do a wall hanger.

I'd really like to sell Slotter Kintaro, but have a person itching to buy my sentimental first--Continental 4X.

Update. The Tri Zone has been gone through & is in very good shape. It's solid state. Plays nicely. Price $525 plus two 6-packs to deliver. The Triple Action was not worth buying. An electro-mechanical called Aztec has come available for $300. No delivery beer. Supposed to be in decent shape. I ...
