Hmmm. Back to the future? I do sometimes worry.

I think they're OK. I've got the Pac-man. It's nicely done with smart decals, reasonable sound, good graphics. When lit up, the lit marquee is rubbish though, with uneven lighting and shadows of the wiring visible behind the perspex. I disconnected it and it looks just fine. But the cabs are...

Cripes!! I wouldn't like to do that. Too much risk of a coffee cup / beer mug going over and then you've got sticky liquid pouring down the glass, sneaking under the lockdown bar and slopping around inside your cab.

Yes but historic prices don't count for much. A NIB Premium now is pushing towards 12k.

I changed the force in the Stern Shaker on my TWD but not by using the settings. Those just change how often the shaker deploys. TWD is Sam system, Spike might be different. The shaker has two offset weights that revolve around an axle. The weights point in the same direction and are held on...

That's the Arcadeland Vpin isn't it? I've watched their promotional videos and I think they look spot on for a Vpin. I'm not sure it's critical what your first pin is, so long as it's not a lame duck. Is it daft to suggest the Super Mario that's up for sale?

My two pennyworth: AC/DC has come out in so many versions and they're all great, but for me it's the Pro that gives you the bestest, fastest, most exciting game. I bought mine NIB and years later I'm still loving it. GLWS

Thank you for the responses. That puts it into perspective for me. Austin Powers - we can surely compare that to Venom or any other modern Pro. £3k in 2001 = £5381 Wow! I agree that prices have genuinely soared. Gosh, imagine being able to buy any modern Stern Pro NIB for £5.3K

Yes, @VeeMonroe I knew I'd get that response! And you're totally right. I'm just trying to get a handle on the true price rises. Take another old pin then - World Poker Tour - which was released around the same time and presumably the same price. I have WPT and I love it, but maybe some...

What did pinballs cost 20 years ago? Can anybody say what the price of a Lord Of The Rings was when released in 2003? I've heard £4000 but actually I don't know. Putting £4000 into the Bank of England's Inflation Calculator gives £6991 in today's money. Or the same as the Venom on the 7K offer.

I bought a set a couple of weeks ago and I fully recommend them. Quality blades, posted promptly, and very well wrapped.

Fake site reported to NCSC.GOV.UK

Had Flu jab with no side effects until a Covid jab 3 days later. Both!?! arms ached that night but no other effects.

Hopefully the video mode in this is optional and can be disabled in the game's settings.

RetroRefurbs.com have several including flames. I got the ACDC Crowd and they look great on my Pro Vault.

Four pins. Could squeeze in a couple more but, for me, four feels about right.

Just looked those up and that looks right. Thanks for helping.

I'm getting my Game of Thrones' armour powder coated and will have to rivet the Action Button's metal plaque back onto the lockdown bar. Can anyone please tell me what rivets to use?

Citizen's Advice Bureau can give legal advice in these sorts of cases and they're free. I have used them before in minor disputes and they're good, they know their stuff, but I haven't used them in years so I don't know about now.

The Pay Ratio chart amazed me @SteadyP . It seems to say the the ratio from CEO to unskilled is not too bad in the UK. Or am I reading it wrong. That's contrary to what I believed.
