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.

Indy Status

Friday, February 8th, 2002

Indy is in pretty good shape.

  • Has some lamps out:
    • Grail Jackpot
    • Shorty
    • Upper right pop-bumper
  • Center lock is very dim

  • Some flashers are out:
    • Dogfight Hurryup (#25)
    • Left Ramp (#27) green
  • Jackpot Multiplier (#41)

  • The dot-matrix display is making a nasty whining sound

Replaced the batteries.

3 Machines Up

Friday, February 8th, 2002

I finally motivated and started cleaning out the mess in my basement, making room for some pinball machines to be set up. First three machines going up are: Theatre of Magic, Indiana Jones, and Creature From The Black Lagoon.

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!).

Targets and Cleaning

Replaced shooter coil & sleeve.

Fixed tilt sensor.

Jet Bumper and Coils Fix For Indy

Wednesday, July 12th, 2000

Fixed broken jet bumper (replaced broken solenoid bracket).

Changed flipper coils from FL-11630 to FL-11629 ‘cause I’m anal…

From my notebook:

Wrong Flipper Coils

Thursday, July 6th, 2000

Indy has the wrong flipper coils. Manual says FL-11629. When I rebuilt the flippers I put in FL-11630 ‘cause I didn’t have the manual yet.

Jet bumper is still broken.
