The "Today I received" Thread

[Nedreud]

Arrived yesterday from Pinball Centre EU:

100 x #555 lamps
2 x Yellow flipper buttons
2 x Bally flipper bushings
Inner and outer shooter springs

and most importantly...

2 x GOLD BALLS for 2 GOLD BALLS!!! [Edit for @astyy]

Yeah that Walnut is too fine. I'm just wondering if the seller on Amazon has changed his supplies because I received the more coarse version, not the sand.

Please do give it a try though and post the results.... or return it to Amazon for a refund.

 

[RudeDogg1]

I'd return it I don't think it will do anything

 

[RudeDogg1]

I still need to get rid of the bag I got

 

[Paul]

Here's a thought - has anyone tried tumbling stuff in sand? Or is it not hard enough??

Someone did suggest this to me once but I'm afraid of trying it. I think it's actually too hard and rough. Parts will likely disappear in a few hours.

I think somebody brave should try it though.

Fathom drops from Marco. No one else seemed to have the 1,2,3

Vector roms from @myPinballs

Used bally SS coin door from @stevebm1

 

[Spandangler]

Among other bits and bobs, I opted for one of these.

Save any further wear and hopefully smooth the surface after levelling the inserts.

I have to say, I ordered from BOP in Germany and it arrived within 3 days, great service.

What? Never !

Me thinks Firepower 2 (yer git).

 

[JMP]

Second guess... Warlok ! Nice addition to the Arv-Williams horde.

 

[Arv]

Correctamundo! With a little help...

 

[Moonraker]

Nah, that went back over a year ago. This is another one also on loan.

 

[scottydoesntknow]

Quick question ARV, does the wood under the pin there raise the boot level so you can just slide it in?

 

[Arv]

I just use a strip of marine plywood to rest the pinball on the folded down seats. Helps it slide in and out though.

Oh there is a few bricks under it too, to stop it see-sawing.

 

[Nedreud]

Better looking Bally diamond shooter housing to replace the rusty one on my GOLD BALL. Looking pretty shiny already so should polish up a treat! Thanks @myPinballs

 

[Dave Bishop]

Couple of Translite boxes from Manny.
Added some multi colour LEDS, looks pretty cool just gotta tidy up p the wiring

 

[Paul]

Nice frames @Dave Bishop . Where from?? and how much (if you dont mind me asking??)

 

[Nedreud]

After a quick once over with the Dremel I think we can all agree that's a great improvement over the rusty original

 

[BigIan]

Paul it's in Daves post. He got them from Manny.

Doesn't give a price though...

 

[Paul]

Cheers Ian - Didnt see that off the the right!!

 

[Wiredworm]

He's been selling them on eBay for a while. £40 plus shipping. Link

I've got them on my watch list for the day when I finally get a gaming room - have to say they look pretty smart.
