After a rather horrific experience when I locked myself out of my T2, I’ve decided to get a little lock pick set  should be interesting to see how it works out..

Thanks to RGP, here’s the  possible POTC cabinet.

If I only had enough pennies.

Ryan Leonard restored this T2 apron.

Nice work.

Chris Redinger made This Mod for the harbor frieght dolly.

In addition to my Pins I have few Cabinets

- Star Wars
- BattleZone
- Primal Rage
- Killer Instinct II
- Dragons Lair
- Mame Cabinet.

This guy has an awesome gameroom As I’ve been looking around for housing, I’m thinking my basement is going to end up looking like his.

As long as I remain single that is…

TheKorn reports on his Trip to Zizzle to check out the new pinball “Toy” that zizzle is making.

I am planning on picking up a Iawata Airbrush off of Ebay (With Compressor)

Found a nice little Tutorial on how to use the airbrush.

Glass dimensions for standard width pins:
21″ x 43″ x 3/16″. Tempered.

Makes em look like new.

Gleaned from RGP:

FYI guys, I just by chance spoke to the manager at the local Harbor
Freight by me when I was inquiring about the availability of the much
talked about harbor freight hydraulic lift. They are out of these
lifts but she ordered me one and will call me when it is in. She said
she would gladly match the web price of $99.99 and that I can use my
20% off coupon to boot. I said really? She said sure. $80.00 plus
tax. She said it didnt matter if the coupon expired before the unit
came in because at the time of order it is all good.

I got the coupon by signing up for their email list. You-all might
want to try this also. The coupon is only good for “store purchases”.

I printed out a copy of everything just to make sure I have my ducks in
a row if there are problems.

So what are you waiting for?

In RGP the question about a playfield overlay and auto clear were brought up. The awnser:

Yes you can and should clear coat an overlay if you want it to last. I
personally use clear Bulldog Adhesion Promoter. It is basically a clear
plastic primer. Works great and you should be able to get it at an
automotive body shop supply store. Spray on a couple coats and wet sand with
800 paper before spraying on the automotive clear.

While not totally a pinball related post, this is coin-op related (of which I love).

A guy went and detailed how he restored a Pacman cabinet to pristine condition.

Kudos…

Dave Pauk sent an e-mail letting me know he has some photos of the playfield restoration.
