  1. Went up again to play the Godzilla this time. Led Zeppelin still had all the balls stuck a few months later. Godzilla is on pretty much the original code. It was also awarding loops when no loops were being hit. I think I got over 100. Both games in terrible condition
  2. I kind of wish I waited on ordering my JP Premium. I got it mid this year from AMD for $15.5k and since have seen some amazing versions for sale (yours included) for a few thousand less. I ordered at a time when there were none in stock and waited months for it to arrive. I know that when I go to sell JP I won't be getting anywhere near the new prices we have become accustomed to in the last few years.
  3. Have you qualified for it Gordon? Stranger Things has been added to the list, and the Premium looks like it's sold out through AMD. Might be only chance to get one new.
  4. Check this out. Stepped up to Led Zeppelin at Zone Out Nelson Bay. Went to start a game and it said ball missing... 🙂 See how many you can spot. There was actually one more stuck just above the lower pop bumper that I shook out and a game was able to start. The legs were so unbalanced that the ball wouldn't stop to a trap on the right flipper (just dropped off the tip of it) Massive lean to the left. Also the lockdown bar button didn't work either. Didn't play Godzilla.
  5. NSW Newcastle Tighes Hill - The Royal Oak Hotel - 207 Maitland Rd Pub has just had a renovation and it's actually quite nice now. They have a Theatre of Magic. 5 balls and no tilt. $2 per game. Ball sometimes gets stuck coming out from the pops, just nee to give it a nudge. Also ball gets stuck under one way gate above the pops. Can also dislodge with a solid shake. I can't remember what the normal action of the trunk is but on this one it is always open and facing the front. Trunk doesn't spin at all.
  6. Flintstones in great condition. Probably needs a tilt tightening though...
  7. There are probably only a couple of little things left to do on the games room studio build. Basically just installing some doors on the storage cupboard and putting some shelves in there and that will be close to done. I was tossing up whether to put in a mezzanine level for a mattress on the floor above the pinball machine, but it might be just a bit too low. I'll hold off on that anyway until the boys are older and maybe one of them would rather sleep out there. We did get air conditioner put into the studio a couple of weeks ago. So that will be handy in summer. Last year it was too hot to use the room. There is only the width of a rafter between roof and ceiling and so a lot of hot air was building up in there. I will also need to build a ladder to get up into the high storage area next to the bathroom. We previously had all of our tools on our back deck and I was looking at buying a shed to put them in. Someone from Facebook Marketplace was giving away a shed for free that was the exact dimensions of the space at the back of the studio and so I contacted them to pick it up. It was dismantled and ready to go but I still needed a truck to move the pieces. Luckily my brother in law had his work truck handy and we brought home all the pieces of the shed ready to put into place. I was thinking about pouring a slab for the shed to go on but the price was getting a bit too much. Luckily someone on Facebook Marketplace was giving away some pavers that I picked up (had to do 3 trips with the pavers in the back of the Subaru) Set aside a morning last weekend to put the pavers down (someone on marketplace was giving away road base and packing sand for free) We did end up concreting a little border around the outside dimensions for the shed to sit on and used the pavers on the inside.🙂 Had to take down the back fence to be able to put the shed together. Putting the shed together was the easy part, getting the fence panels back into place was a nightmare 🙂 While the paving was being done I got started on painting the timber that we had bought to extend out the carport on the house. On the DA we had approval for a 6m carport out the front that needed 185mm posts and a 240 x 80 beam across. I think that cost me about $1000 per post plus $100 for post supports and then probably the same again just for the bolts to hold it all together. Then $300 per metre for the beam. For the extensions to the carport I basically just had half the width for everything. Still did the same job and worked out a hell of a lot cheaper. Had a little helper (...possibly hindrance) So the carport is now about 12 metres long and actually covers the front door. Now I can actually get from the car inside the house without getting wet. 🙂 I also had a bunch of my brewing equipment in storage in the studio that I hadn't used in about 4 years so I chucked it up on marketplace for $500. There was a heap of great equipment there and there was a lot of interest. Just went with a local guy (rather than the guy who wanted me to drive halfway to Sydney to meet him) So I think the only thing I will be updating on this thread now will be if I ever get a new pinball machine. I wouldn't mind doing a temporary swap with anybody who is interested in having a Jurassic Park Premium for a few months. Otherwise I might wait until the next Elwin game comes out. They are easily my favourite games, especially with the depth in code for home environments. Not sure if I will be able to afford to have two games at the moment as we have just ordered an infrared sauna to go on the back deck of the main house.
  8. Well we have got past approval stage now and I think ill need to look at some of those other options. The tiger grass has started dropping the little seeds and tassel and it has of course made its way into the pool. The net doesn't seem to be able to capture the seeds (may need a finer mesh net?) and so all of the seeds are just hanging around on the edge of the pool unfortunately.
  9. That's what I ended up doing for the second carport at my place. Made the mistake of building the first carport then had to hang off the top of it and try and paint it from the top as I had new turf down underneath. Second one I painted it all on the ground, so much easier. Will be doing the same again when I extend the front carport. Did you buy the paint sprayer or hire it?
  10. Aren't all titles too expensive now? Its cheaper than a Stern LE... 🙂
  11. HUNTER REGION Mayfield MEX Club Tron
  12. Is the September meet still going ahead on September 16th? That's the same weekend as Pinfest. There will be a bunch of Wildballers contributing to that I'm sure.
  13. This looks to be the best lineup of games ever at Pinfest. I remember one year there were 2 Rescue 911 and 2 Bugs Bunny Birthday Bash next to each other. I was wondering why Bugs Bunny was always free to play while all the other games around it had a line up. Then I played it and realised.... 🙂
  14. until

    Will be coming up for a full week with the family and camping nearby at Tweed Heads Holiday Park. $320 for 7 nights on a powered site. Interested in the card format, haven't played one of those before. Classic and High Stakes events for following years sound interesting.
