  1. For those who may also be looking for something similar, I found some fantastic lightboxes on Aliexpress which would look great as toppers for DE JP or Sega Lost World. See here. I have no affiliation with the seller, just found them during a search and thought they were cool.
  2. Better late than never. The dehumidifier gods were looking down on me this weekend as I stumbled across a Delonghi Tasciugo Aria Dry dehumidifier on the verge for council pickup. Thrown out because the mode select button had been damaged. Just needed a new tactile pushbutton switch for the mode select, and a new power cord. It's only a small unit but cheap to run so I'll see if it makes a difference to the humidity in the garage and go from there.
  3. Hi everyone Looking for a replacement WPC transformer (early version) to suit pre-DCS games. The subject transformer has developed a fault where it catches fire on the line/input side if left on for a few minutes. I know I can buy a Homepin replacement, but I just want to see if I can find an intact original first, if possible. Thanks for any leads.
  4. Hard to find castors with the correct hole-to-hole centres. I've used these on a couple of occasions and they fit. Note they have a higher clearance than the original castors.
  5. Joined. I've got a Zaccaria Time Machine which is sitting in the queue awaiting restoration. Once I get it up and going I'll be sure to post a few pics. There are a lot of Zaccaria collectors on Pinside as well. Lots of useful knowledge and experience in this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/zaccaria-pinball-owners-club-all-welcome
  6. Reminds me a lot of a Capcom Breakshot. Similar theme of course, but also a similar layout. The cabinet and playfield hark back to DMD games from the 90s, which is a style I like compared to newer cabinets coming out now. Can't wait to play it sometime.
  7. Their website is all template text and sample images. Anyone know how long they've been at this for?
  8. Just my luck. The month after I do an order, they do a special promotion. If anyone else is interested, there are promo codes on the website to save you 15%.
  9. Fair enough! Send the bloke a message anyway, it looks like he's got another Devil Riders and may have other parts lying around. I'm keeping an eye out for you in any case.
  10. There is a Devil Riders cabinet on Facebook at the moment. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1497239890571190/permalink/3228594720769023/?sale_post_id=3228594720769023&mibextid=Nif5oz
  11. This is really cool. Your video demonstrates how the effect works really well. Best of luck with the full-size version. Might want to book an appointment with the physiotherapist in advance!
  12. Good on you for doing this. It takes commitment to the hobby to bring games to an expo. Looks like you have most of the basics covered. From my experience the most important thing is to be present at the stall to help people understand how to play the games. Consider some signage if you're not going to be there 100% of the time.
  13. Thanks for the offer Paul but I will need an Atmel-based CPU board rather than the BSMT one. At this point I think I have eliminated all but the CPU board as being the issue so I will focus my troubleshooting there and see how I go. EDIT: Issue has been resolved; board no longer needed.
  14. Alternatively, if anyone has a Whitestar (modified) CPU game, and would be happy for me to test my board in your game, that would be fantastic also.
  15. Hi all. As per title. Not looking to buy, just looking to borrow a Whitestar CPU to narrow down an issue on my current one. Can pickup anywhere in Sydney. Thanks.
  16. The extremes of hot or cold aren't as much of an issue as the change from one to the other. You may start to see planking in timber or flaking in paint if the temperature swings too far too quickly. Best keep a close eye on things. Moisture is hard to judge as humans aren't the best at perceiving it. You may wish to buy a cheap hygrometer to see what the humidity actually is.
  17. This order is now closed; thanks to those who expressed interest. For those that may be interested in the future, this mob no longer do any shipping discounts. Prices are also set to go up sometime in the near future.
  18. Hi all Looking for some tips on connecting a Microcoin QL mech to a Data East TMNT. The game originally had a mechanical coin mech which was wired into the switch matrix. No problems there. However I need an interface board for the Microcoin mech. The original DE interface board is gone. So I have hooked up the mech to another interface board from my parts pile. No idea what game it was used in originally. The connector at the coin door provides 18V, GND, switch column drive, switch return yellow, switch return green, switch return blue. I have the interface board connected to 18V (high I know but seems to work OK, no easy access to 12V on these early DE coin doors), GND, and one of the switch return wires. The mech is connected via 10 pin ribbon cable to the board. The mech gets power and successfully accepts and rejects coins without issue. However it does not appear to be interfaced with the switch matrix correctly, as the coins will register as other switches as well as the coin slot. I have connected the accumulator output to the switch return wire for the coin slot. However there is nothing connected to the column drive wire, it gets confused. Not sure how I can connect the column drive wire to this interface board to register a proper closure. Is it possible to use this type of interface board or do I need to find an original DE one? Thanks for any tips.
  19. Thanks everyone! Took the day off work to get some arcade and pinball stuff done. Good way to spend a birthday 😀
  20. Thinking of buying a couple of protectors from playfield-protectors.com. Anyone else interested and keen to split shipping?
  21. Now sold. Thanks to those who expressed interest.
  22. Quite a few blue banded bees down Campbelltown way. We have 2 native hives that are doing quite well too. Sorry, no hardwood to donate, but the boxes look great!
  23. Selling 2x Daytona USA seats from a US twin cab. Average condition. Dents on the seats and a few scratches here and there. Minor rust on the frames but they are still solid. No back covers included. You can have the seat rails if you like. They are broken, but might be useful to get some measurements for new ones. Pickup from Campbelltown NSW. $20 each or $30 for the pair.
  24. Do both screens do the same thing at the same time? Or just one of them? Does it happen at any particular time or at random intervals?
  25. This sounds more like it. We are getting close to an accurate and objective way of quantifying how much a machine has been played. DPI - dimples per square inch! If newer games dimple more readily than older ones, we just need to apply a correction factor based on the game's age. We could be onto something here...
