was that on a nascar pinball?

site messed up. double post

site messed up. triple post

mike,
which machine is that on that we have to play at next weekend's event?

but now you have extra ventilation for that airborne ranger. that's one step below a LE!

bonus points if the key is cut so that it can open the backbox
it would be a key you would never accidentally lose

maybe that's one of those [forever] bulbs that I heard that the post office is selling. guaranteed to never burn out and he wasn't going to take any chances with the socket ever oxidizing!

here's a link to what I would consider is the best molex crimping tool that money can buy
http://www.techtoolsupply.com/Sargent-Tools-Open-Barrel-Contact-Crimp-Tool-30-16-p/ros-1026ct.htm

unlike the klein ratcheting crimper, the barrel on this one is nice and narrow, allowing you to see exactly where you are crimping. yes, you will need to crimp twice (once for the wire and a 2nd time for the strain relief), but it's a trade-off that I'm willing to take for excellent crimps, every single time

wow, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed. if you're going to give a 'thumbs down' be man enough as to a reason why (especially, my reply was providing an answer to a question

and if it's because that person's question was considered off topic, then pardon me mr. debbie downer

Worst hack_repair you ever saw. _ Pinside Forum votes (resized).jpg

is that the extra, extra, extra slow blow variety?

nice job Robotworkshop

that's how clay does a lot of his repairs where the traces are trashed

what cheap-asses. they could have at least used the proper band-aids
star wars band-aids (resized).jpg

agreed, however I will give points for using that nylon zip tie to the wiring harness to stand it off away from the board and eliminate the potential for grounding out

are you sure that it wasn't listed as "was on [fire]power 2"?

how would loctite solve a broken bracket problem? does the loctite sold where you live have different, makical properties than the product available here in the states?

can't you just use hot glue?

impressive

I think that he should have added some lightning flippers to close that gap up a little more

the human readable number is underneath. it's just a code 39 barcode, nothing special

exactly this. they should have drilled the hole out larger, filled it with a section of dowel rod, sanded it flush, repainted the black and then drilled a new [centered] hole to fix it correctly

yes, it would have taken a bit longer but the results would have been 10x better

I don't know about that. I had a stainless version of those for my deck. they were a pain in the @ss to remove when I re-did the deck. I replaced them with star headed screws, which do not strip.

I completely forgot about these until you mentioned them (haven't had the need since I restored my honda SL70 a few years ago). I just purchased 2 nice vessel megadora sets this morning

just an easy means to identify one of the keys in particular? (since they all look to be the same brand

so... that's how daisy dukes are made

70+ pages of this thread makes me wonder why we haven't seen a building construction based game where you wouldn't be able to tell what was intentionally put in the game by the designer and what was an aftermarket, on route hack

this is an opportunity just waiting to be exploited

I wish ours had more. most of the useful items were gone and the other half was still too overpriced

bonus points for trying to create an "anti-leak" mod for the batteries?

you get a thumbs up for your comment and your avatar. I wonder how many people are familiar with the 'happy tree friends'?

and hot glue and zip ties

does this make it super cooled?

is that the 'emperor's chair of yellow snakes'?

I think on the xenon, that was a mod that was intentionally made to reduce play time.

if your ball is rolling fast, it will probably bounce off of the screw and continue rolling (in some random direction). however, if it's a slow roller, you're going to half to tilt your way out of that predicament. in either case, the operator is going to his money quicker.

those are the type of games that we intentionally seek out for dollar matches because it screws with everyone equally (but we don't play them more than once

what hack?

maybe this was the precursor to the GotG rocket kick back (done at a lower cost)

I like the random pop rivet placement

did you ever stop to think that maybe the previous owner had a pet mouse that really, really liked the addam's family, so he gave his little guy a home and a way to enjoy it more? there was probably a ramp or steps set up on the outside so that he could make his way into his new, spacious home

did you get that from mirco?

or he inadvertently placed letraset letter upside down and no one noticed or has noticed all this time (until tjw998 just did

because staples are so 18th century and overrated?

that's a "forever good" fuse

sure you have. it's also known by its more common name, the 10 penny nail

obviously! why would you want to mess up the new carpeting with crusty legs when you can protect them with 2 pairs of socks (because heaven forbid you actually clean the legs and add new levelers to them.

are those the new, quick disconnects that I've been hearing about?

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.
