    Will 'classics' ever include 90s pins?

    I always think of pins like this: Vintage: anything with score reels Classic: anything from AlphaNumeric up to DMD Modern: anything with an LCD screen

    What was the first machine you owned?

    My first machine was a RFM in 2014 that i bought from a guy in Spain on one of the arcade forums (before i really knew much about this website)

    what thickness piano wire for ball gate wireforms?

    If you can find a local welding/ fabrication company, then just pop in there to see if they have a couple of spare lengths of tig filler wire. Looking at the above link, that's all it will be

    Machine prices

    Whenever you buy anything new, there will nearly always be a loss when the time comes to sell up. Yes there are exceptions for certain items made by certain manufacturers that dont ( like limited availability & desirable models of watches, or cars) but that isn't the case with ALL watches or cars.

    A Good First Pin??

    That Vpin looks very confusing. It looks to have 3 displays? a dmd under the glass, an LCD display above the glass ( in the usual location for a dmd) and then the back glass display like on a jersey jack game. And what is the deal with all of the buttons on the side? they look too low to be able...

    Wanted RFM CRT Monitor / Any CRT Arcade Monitor

    Arcade monitors come in both 19"(48cm) and 20" (51cm). 20" is the more common available size. A 19" from a RFM will mount perfectly fine in a wooden arcade cabinet with its bespoke cage ( I have one fitted in one of my machine). You will just have to replace R705 on the remote board with a...

    Wanted RFM CRT Monitor / Any CRT Arcade Monitor

    Are you looking at fitting this back into an RFM? as the original Wells Gardner monitor in RFM is 19", not 20" and i dont think there is enough space to fit a 20" tube in the hole ( also the RFM monitor has a custom shaped cage to allow for space)

    Stern shaker motor help- solved 👌

    If it is the correct housing on that splitter and you don't need it, then use that. It is literally a 30sec job with a small flat head screwdriver to press in the retaining clips on the pin to remove them, Then gently lever then out before pushing them into the new plug housing

    Stern shaker motor help- solved 👌

    If that is definitely the correct wire, you can remove the pin from the plug, buy a new plug the correct size, and insert it back into the new plug ( as the nice final fix). To test it you can remove the pin, and connect it to the other repecticle in the plug, protect it with some tape, and test...

    Mortgage prices - gone nuts.

    We were lucky that around the time our 5 year fixed 5.5% rate came to an end the base rate had dropped to the all time low we've been experiencing, so we jumped to a tracker mortgage which followed the low around 1.5% then continued paying the same towards our mortgage that we did when we was at...

    Foo Fighters Announced

    When I was fitting the upgraded speakers/plate/coloured insert to my machine I also bought a coloured plaque to go behind the name plate. On all my other stem machines it is a hex socket with loads of spare thread length. On this machine it is a Philips head and much shorter thread length so...
