Quoted from Jigs:Very true. This was an hour of my life, but that included dying the new DE targets. [quoted image]
Nice work! 
What kind of dye did you use?

Thanks! They looked good with the new drop stickers.

I could fill pages with hacks from this game. Seems like a professor had owned it. There was a ton of theory of operations notes and self made hacks.

"Theory of operation"? Like the previous owner reverse engineered the machine instead of getting a schematic or manual?

Kinda, there was some weird hand written what you may call homemade schematics and other 5 pages of self made paperwork. It seemed like someone with one machine just trying to keep it going.
Here’s a fun flipper assembly from the same game. To keep on topic of weird hacks.

@Jigs, I know that’s a Gottlieb, but what game is that. I like that layout.

Um, that's a Game Plan Sharpshooter.

Thanks, the round ended flippers threw me off.
Quoted from frunch:Nice work! What kind of dye did you use?
when using RIT dye, I found that I had to add a small amount of acetone to the boiling water solution to get the dye to [soak] into the plastic (at least for items like ball eject saucers or star posts). and when dying transparent plastics, you'll want to try and dye everything at the same time so that they dye evenly.

Quoted from DCRand:Williams Travel Time. Guess they traveled forward into the future for this hack.

I'd like to see the other side of that outhole. With a micro switch?
Had this stored for over six months under my other games. This is the first time I’ve looked at it closely. It’s a mess inside. Clearly been in a damp environment. Lots of white corrosion and the bottom board even looks like it’s been damp.

One of those bad-hacks I really hate to see is damaged coin doors.

Bad, but I'll take it over the 4 holes drilled either side of the coin door with the steel bar.
Quoted from mojonitro:Found this in a Jacks Open. That barb held the relay in place well. I could barely remove it.

Looks like a genuine Eagle Claw brand hook. Nothing but the best, for the best!

This guy lived to be 92. Maybe we are in the wrong hobby 
Gone fishin' instead of just a wishin'.

NOTHING Beats the sharpness and strength of an Eagle Claw hook! Looks like some solder on the point to up the safety quotient
