Treasurecove Restoration Stickers

I just found via RGP that Allen at Treasurecove has created these Label kits that are *custom* made for your pin.

So, when I go from trying to be a CARGPB to a Anal collector, then I’ll be ordering up a mess load of these.

Gots to Love the Re-Import

I usually take the last few weeks of the year off to work on my pins. I
managed to get the BSD up and running (which my family loves) and then I
moved onto the White Water I had just picked up a few months ago as a deal
along with a STTNG.

The STTNG is in pretty good condition.

This WH20? Cab is beat up (and soft), wiring is hacked, and the inserts
are doing this funky thing where they are lower than the rest of the playfield.

It’s a mess, but I love the game, so, I’ll nurse this one back to at least
semi health. After years of neglect in Germany, this pin just needs some TLC.

Oh, and I found this nice little “Wannabe” fuse. Guess when the fuse blew
the OP just decided to solder a wire. I was checking the fuses and was
surprised when I pulled this sucker out

Your workshop

A discussion recently came up on what the perfect Workshop looks like with one, two, three, and four different workshops.

What does yours look like?

Pinball 12 Step Program

From the Annals of RGP:

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives
had become filled with pinball machines, tools, circuit boards, and
all types of spare bulbs and fuses.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could help us
restore all old pinballs to NIB condition.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
the pinball Gods, the designers, and manufacturer(s).

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our pinballs,
supplies, and NOS.

5. Admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature
of our skill level.

6. Were entirely ready to remove all bad playfield defects from our
games.

7. Humbly asked the pinball Gods to remove our shortcomings and shower
us with multiball, specials, and replays.

8. Made a list of all persons we had out scored, and became willing to
make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take parts inventory and when we had something good
to post, would promptly do so.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our game and high
scores.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we
tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these
principles in all our affairs.

Keep coming back…

Highspeed II the Getaway Traffic Light Mod

I am looking at buying a Highspeed II later on in the year, and found this sweet little mod that allows you to hook up a real traffic light to the pin.

Oh, gots to have that.
