Must Order More Parts

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

More stuff from Marco Specialties:

  • Some more WMS #03-7067 coil sleeves
  • Some Nevr-Dull metal polish.
  • This Old Pinball DVD #7. It just so happens I have a busted Banzai Run and a Star Wars that need some work.
  • Some WMS #03-8034 stop targets for the ’1-Bank Drop Target Assembly’ on ST:TNG, ‘cause I think that is broken again.

More Machines Up And Running

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

Yay! My bro came over last Friday and helped me set up a bunch more machines in my basement. Now up on their feet in various states of running:

  • Banzai Run
  • Theatre of Magic
  • Taxi
  • Tales of the Arabian Nights
  • Medieval Madness
  • Star Trek: TNG
  • Diner
  • Indiana Jones
  • Shadow

I wheeled Shadow over to the newly-designated shop area for some upcoming shopping. Also note that Banzai Run is totally non-functional.

Here’s a highly distorted 180 degree panorama put together with Canon’s photo-stitch software:

New House

Monday, December 27th, 2004

I moved to a new house. The new house happens to have a basement with room for lots of pinball machines. Here you can see the mover-guys taking Diner off the truck, making it appear as if it’s no big deal.

They moved all the machines like that.  Two of them would just pick one up, no problem.

Now I just have to set them up.

Pack ‘em Up

Tuesday, February 20th, 2001

Sadly, all of my machines had to be put into storage in my basement. My company moved offices and there was no room for them at the new one (and no room in my house!).

New Parts For Banzai

Monday, July 17th, 2000

Rebuilt shooter assembly with new parts. Still needs new shooter sleeve.

Replaced flipper buttons and adjusted flipper switches.

Replaced flipper rubber on lower playfield.

This is the first entry I have for Banzai Run. Pretty sure the machine arrived in July of 2000. – 12/15/2006
