  1. Oh legend - yeah 2 of us over here with SHO's so keen to hear!
  2. Ooo start a thread for it? I have a SHO that I'm also terrified of having board issue/failure.... 🤞🙏
  3. Or Cannonball! https://github.com/djyt/cannonball/wiki
  4. Oh legend!!! This started happening to one of my boards just recently! I too thought it was going to be a chip replace or amp issue. Will give this a go and let you know if it worked for me too! �
  5. haha oi this thread needs closing, pretty sure we're getting trolled now :P
  6. Aww yeah these are the best kind of finds - trying to hide the excitement/contain the emotion when you see the stash they have - "oh wow, those old things? yeah, I guess i can take them off your hands...." F#%k You though Ponty :P - I dream of having those situations haha
  7. Oh man read my mind! I'm restoring my Taito Missile Command Cocktail also! Info on these trackballs appreciated - maybe it's possible to switch the whole thing out for something else? I've not dug too deeply on that part yet.... Let me know if you want the artwork for the control panels as I got my hands on some (through a very generous enthusiast). Or any other info you need! I also know 1 other person doing the same thing as us (or should be at least......) so we could all collaborate. ;)
  8. If @Jomac has the tools to rip the info from the chip, I could take my board in? Then could be saved for all, as there's heaps of these machines out there.
  9. As per their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/events/533051957106569/ Wednesday, 12 December 2018 from 19:00-22:00 Play all 6 games and get each score recorded by event staff. The top 4 scores playoff head 2 head to determine the champion for December. Pay for your own games on the night. (hopefully in the future we can get some sponsorship.) The Tournament will be registered with IFPA and all players will receive a world pinball ranking. If this turns out to be a success expect this event to be run monthly Not sure what the "competition" part of it is, or if it's just for brag, but either way, competing is always fun!
  10. Not sure if anyone has listed it, but Palace Arcade in Perth has (excuse my versioning) as of today: WWF Royal Rumble (Data East) Indiana Jones (Williams) Star Wars Premium (Stern) AC/DC Vault Luci Premium? (Stern) Iron Maiden Premium (Stern) Ghostbusters Premium (Stern) Adams Family (Williams) I believe GameCity in Perth is also getting ready to unveil their Pinball Basement which is going to have a GODLIKE collection - not even joking. You will board a plane when it opens to get here.
  11. Roger saves the day! Hope this helps - let me know if you want higher-res pics/better lit/whatever as it's out of the machine so I can provide whatever is needed. 100% working. Not for sale :P haha
  12. Yeah i should be able to provide pics of anything needed, it's the one part of my machine that i'm so glad has worked flawlessly all these years. That being said, I feel even just looking at this thread is going to jinx that - so if something happens - fk you guys :P haha
  13. Nah this is really important, glad you raised it Taito. When i was young I watched first hand "techs" get shoved from machines due to being far to complacent around monitors, and it was those experiences which basically removed any feeling i personally have towards monitor repairs. Fortunately i have the luxury of Jomac around the corner... which also makes me wonder, wtf are we going to do the day hes no longer there! So would love to work out a way of safe education? Someone help Jomac start a masterclass service so we can pay money to be taught by the god :P I was even watching old mate John (John's Arcade) and he does a lot of monitor work. He can be a bit cringe as he haphazardly just dives into stuff - especially "doing monitors", and makes it out like it's no big deal poking screw drivers around and "oh dont forget to pull the power out guys" No good restoring an arcade machine if you hurt yourself and cant play on it...
  14. **** yeah man!!!!! Looks amazing!!!! I can feel the satisfaction just watching you play haha - so jealous!
  15. Oh well that confirms an RGBLED cab rebuild (incl sticks)! Might want to start now Jason ;)
  16. haha man I reckon the rarer item is the purple rectangle player button for donatello I've been looking for one to replace my own cellophane mod for hmm, about 15+ years...
  17. Get the PiJamma from @dee2eR, then you can live life the right way ;)
  18. Think i might still have a spare Turtles board around - the original one that is. I'm a hoarder, and my excuse was I might need a backup for my Turtles cab :P
  19. Legit though, anyone know how this guy gets (or who gave him) the $?? Love his car chat about nothing haha "it's got a v8 and you can drift" - what?
  20. I was a late-comer to pinball. Being an arcade kid I didn't think the value was as good, until that shiny T2 showed up with it's sexy chrome gun/skull and Arny calling my name from across the room - sucked me right in! (followed by IJ and Getaway).
