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?

Can anyone recommend a powder coating company near Plymouth or anywhere in Devon or Cornwall?

HUO with one owner from new. I'm just not playing it any more and it's time to go. Sale possible but I'd prefer to try for a trade first. I'd like a Hobbit. I'm also considering Game of Thrones. So far as I am aware my TWD is unblemished in any way except:- The added side blades have slight...

Can anyone help please? I'm considering trading my TWD Pro for a BKSoR Pro. The BKSoR really, really appeals to me but I've never had the chance to actually play one. I don't want to make a mistake, I want to play it before I commit to the trade. I live near Plymouth. Is there anyone based...

I've got a problem with a Stern SAM IO Power Driver Board. With a lot of help from @mplayfield I'm fairly certain it's one particular transistor ( Q27 ). Thanks Martin. So, just need to replace one transistor. Why don't I do it? Back in those sunny days when a Data East pin cost a few quid I...

Just saw this on Facebook so perhaps many members will already have seen it. Even so, I think it's superb and worth sharing on here for any who haven't seen it:

Bally Hi Deal. I've owned it nearly 10 years (bought from The Pinball Parlour) and put around 9K games on it. It has had a some faults over those years - but mostly it just seems to go from one year to the next without issue, and it's been played every day. There's always a bulb out somewhere...

I'm getting false hits on Well Walker. I'm certain there's no problem with the Well Walker switch itself, lots of testing and it's solid. The false hits happen when another switch is hit, not any particular switch but mostly switches towards the back of the playfield. It only happens in-game...

Surprising what he's packed into this:

Anyone got a nice one they're thinking of letting go?

Anyone know anything good/bad about TiltTopper? I'm thinking of getting their AC/DC one: https://tilttopper.com/shop?olsPage=products%2Facdc-special-edition-pinball-standard

There were several posts on pinside a few years ago suggesting these were a great addition. They favoured a POLK active subwoofer, now not available. There has been some discussion on here too, but not recently and not making any particular recommendations. I gather that the important thing is...

I'm getting pin-restless. I've had this 9 years and loved it to bits but it's time for a change. Not sure if I can face ebay but if this suits someone here then that would be great. It's fully working and has been pretty reliable for me. Cab is solid. The black has been touched up with...

For those who like to photograph their pins, try B&W sometimes: I filtered one of my pictures down to monochrome and was surprised at the result. That particular image came to life in B&W - far better than the original colour snap. Time Machine - Data East

Much as I love my TWD Pro I've never been impressed by the translite. It's flat, dull. It doesn't glow. So I thought “Why not draw your own?” Not that I'm actually a proper artist but who cares? And I got carried anyway. TBH I'm unsure about it now – zombies with big boobs? Once ago it would've...

I'm helping repair a Gottlieb EM. Owner has sent me photos of one of the faults: The flipper buttons connect to a switch by pushing a wire round (really weird!) On left side the wire has broken: The machine isn't near me and I want to arrive with some wire ready to fix it. Does anyone...

There's so many complaints of various dealers on this forum, no doubt fully justified, that I thought I'd post something positive. I bought my TWD from Liberty Games last year (my initial choice, Pinball Heaven, could not get me one at that point). Liberty Game's price matched or beat any of...

I'm thinking about selling my Hook and first and foremost I never want to sell anything that's electrically dodgy but: When switched off I noticed my Hook still draws 0.007 amps. I.e. it's leaking. 1. Does this matter? Would it pass a PAT test? I tried to work that out using my mate Google and...

Does anyone have a nice Scared Stiff they're thinking of selling on?

The 3 flash lamps in the skull on my Hook have started to stick on. In test mode they switch on if I flash any of the playfield inserts, once on they stick on. It appears they have a single driving transistor which I haven't identified in the MPU board yet but in any case I'm not sure that's...
