This is the one on the coin door of my Battle Pinny.....Cos I said lots of times, that will happen when I get "around tuit"......It's on a clear plastic that the used to use in overhead projector's, but did not print up to good..

Hi, I know these are not the same, but easy to make I redo the Gottlieb inserts for my machines only, I use either a plastic film to print on (overhead transparency for the red coin inserts) or a clear shipping label / adhesive back for the the white coin inserts. I have also made some smick custom inserts for the bally's. I just don't like the look of quarter or, dime, 25 cents.

I've just been offered an early retirement package through my work which will give me enough to cover the next couple of years until I can pick up my super. After spending the past 32 years doing what I've been doing the time is right. I don't think I would have lasted the final 2 years.

Let me know when you find one ! Then I will pop up and have a play with yah 😄

These may help depending on the title Custom Pinball Coin Door Inserts At PinballRebel.com If you're worried about washing out the colour don't use leds and use maybe a #47 globe

This was in my stash of “will never use “ pile. But someone may. part no 5772-15096-03 Free to good home, just pay postage, probably around $15. I have no way to test it.

Try Pinball Rebel or its very easy to just make your own.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Michael .Hope you had a great day mate .

Stop yelling at me 😜

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, thank you Ali @Fairground. I really want to say that I genuinely love this community. I have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people over the last 10 years or so, When I think back to getting into this hobby I never thought I would meet (and sadly in some cases still have not met) so many wonderful people and its the friendships that I think about most often. The NSW guys, the SA guys let alone the Vic guys that I have got to meet over the course of the last 10 years has been amazing, I hope I have also contributed to getting open meets out there and helped forged some amazing friendships over that time. I have also met some awesome people from Qld and WA. I am a firm believer in you get what you give and I have met so many amazing people here because of this forum...so my final thanks go out to @Arcade King for giving us a place to share our thoughts but also create an amazing community. I have soooo many happy experiences just from meeting the people in this amazing forum.

It is with the deepest regret that I pass on the sad news that long term Aussie Arcade members TOADS lost his battle with cancer late last night at the age of 58. Mark joined AA in 2009 and was the kind of member that was always in the mix, lending a hand to make pinball events work and contributing to our community. He became a member of the mod team in 2017 where he continued to give to the community behind the scenes. Mark was not the kind of guy that sought recognition or accolades, but his ongoing contributions to the smooth running of AA cannot be overstated. He was a regular attendee at events like Pinfest and interstate meets where he regularly offered up his assistance for the benefit of others. Mark was a guy who found a hobby he loved and worked hard to bring it to others so they could enjoy it too. Marks long term partner Allison (Fairground) is well known to many of us, and she has our deepest sympathies in this, the toughest of times. Allison, I hope it brings you some comfort to know that Mark was so well liked and respected here on AA and in our community. Mark was a rare man who earned the friendship of others with his quick whit and often irreverent approach to life. We will all be worse off in his loss, but at the same time better off for having know him. Vale Mark, you will be missed by many. Dave

Happy Birthday Michael.

I do get your sentiment, however my job invovles working with farmers and have done for the last 20 years. The reality isn't trusty 30 year old tractors and the farmer fixes everything. The reality is tractors are now connected to the cloud (where there is service, or once it gets home in wifi range), the farmer gets a notification if something is wrong and its all computer controlled and not a whole lot is repairable by the average farmer. Now i agree this is not ideal, i love fixing and tinkering with stuff myself - but farming is a business, not a lifestyle (for the majority of large scale farmers who produce most of the food and fibre), Farmers i work with have wireless cameras on all thier equipment so they see machinery operating in the cab and mointor for breakdowns, blocked planter chutes etc. 90% of machinery is GPS autosteer to 2cm accuracy. Many of the farmers i work with have completely automated furrow irrigation systems. We help them set up computer software which determines soil moisture (based on complex models and real weather data), this software then will start an irrigation event, sensors in the paddock turn it off. We are alos working towards self learning irrigation where it improves efficiency each time through adjusting flowrates, run times and other factors. Most farmers have solar, not because they love solar, but because it makes business sense based on the cost of electricty and the need to run pumps most dfays for irrigation. They are all constantly looking for ways to make technology work for them.

I didn't realise George Pell so heavily influenced the future of EV production. Did you not notice I posted a link to a sky News article? Also, you haven't said anything about my post on the previous page. Don't let your hatred cloud your judgement 😇

Hi There, I just thought I'd show my arcade room, which is nearly completed. Originally had a couple of machines in a shed but as all hobbies go a couple is never enough. Even picked up a local coin op pool table so 20c it is. Just need to tend to a couple of games, Mortal Combat II, Taito Defender and a Super Bug machine. As always, a working process.

Hi again, here's some updated photos of the consoles cabinet in the workshop. I've added a level to accommodate a couple more consoles and moved the black consoles to the centre white shelves to make them a bit more visible. The consoles cabinet began as a repurposed TV unit and has been added to with all recycled materials. The centre shelves are on drawer runners which makes connecting all the wiring a bit easier. Tempest (PC50x), Atari 2600 (Junior), Nintendo Super Famicom, NES (Toaster), Sega Mega Drive II, Playstation 1 And the obligatory beanbags, new Vs old: The Atari 'Junior' above has a pair of paddle controllers and the cartridges next to it are all 'paddle' games - while the 'Vader' console has its own 14" TV and is set up for the 'joystick' games. The Atari consoles are both unmodified and connected by RF while the remainder are connected to the Sony LCD TV by AV cables with a simple input switch. If I run out of room again I'll probably move the 'first generation' Tempest console across to this little TV as well (it will probably display better on the standard resolution CRT anyway)... I also have a 'Fat' PS2 which I bought brand new and a 'Super Slim' PS3 which was a recent Op-Shop find, these are in the Lounge Room (a bit too modern for the retro workshop)... Regards, John.

Very sad news. Was only just thinking of him last night. He will be missed.
