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:

Some New Parts For Diner

Friday, February 4th, 2005

The display on my Diner has been on its last legs for a while, so I installed a PinLED replacement display. Looks really nice. It’s missing the black framing around the edges. Trying to peel the framing off the old display ruins it, so I’ll have to try and make a new one.

While I was working in the back box I noticed that my Diner is also missing its knocker, so I pilfered the one from Hurricane.

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!).

Diner Arrival!

Sunday, October 8th, 2000

I need to check my notes to find out exactly when Diner arrived. Pretty sure it was in the Fall of 2000 though.
