By amazing luck, I got this short run reproduction BOP playfield.
It arrived in the UK yesterday, my father in law picked it up for me and so I got it today
It has a very thick clearcoat, and the inserts are flush fitted into the wood into routed that go half way into the wood. Not sure if that is the norm with reproductions, but the original is not like that, so it will stop them from ever sinking
That surprises me because even firepower has ridges for the inserts to sit didn't stop em all moving tho lol
Nice one Luke. Is it the Buthemberg one
It is, I missed the cutoff as I didn't know about it, but was on the next in line list so very thankful I got one.
BOP and Taxi are my worst condition playfields, so I really wanted one of these,
Now all I need is someone to do a Taxi re-run, as I missed Taxi playfields by days
That looks so cool
That is my plan B, I am wanting to get a quote on that
Got a life-size Elvira now watching me play Scared Stiff. Will never be able to concentrate now!
The Aurich Shadow translite package arrived Christmas Eve and fitted today, looks incredible especially compared to the original. 
Had a nice little stocking filler off my daughter for xmas that I finally had time to play with today, no more missing the postman because I was playing pinball . Plays mp3's or Wav's so of course I put a few pinball tunes on there .

Riiiiiiiiight. Getting one of those
Is it just me that thinks pinball sounds might not be the best thing to distract you from pinball ?
Lol, good point. Will be close by though so can't miss it.
This little thing arrived today from Austria
Sweet. That's going to look very nice 're chromed.
Congrats on finding one, a rare little booger that one.

Going to re chrome that and my sttng handle !!
The ST parts are better than the more common Dallas ones. I've had very few dead ST ones, and I come across these on videogame and test equipment alot. Additionally, some of the ST ones have the "caphat" package, where you can clip on a new battery top. That said, surely you'd use quantum or ferro RAM these days instead of battery backed
My wife got me a Stormtrooper
I got rid of a pusher a few years ago that had a Dallas in there - I contacted the company and asked for the code (it was 7 years old - And Dallas' have a lifespan of 8) - They fobbed me off so i got rid of it. Couldn't be bothered to drag it off the board and copy it...
A nice little package from Pinball Heaven received on Friday. [emoji1] Even with just the balls replaced and Flipper rubbers, what a difference to game play it makes.
I wonder what that lot is going into!A nice little package from Pinball Heaven received on Friday. [emoji1] Even with just the balls replaced and Flipper rubbers, what a difference to game play it makes.
I know it's Apollo 13
I got a parcel from Maplin today - new soldering iron tips (£7), assorted tweezers including self-closing ones (£7) and a logic probe for next time I'm chasing down a board fault (£16)
Dans post has motivated me to share my haul. A couple of standard Pinball fettling tools added to my kit and a pack of UNC6 hex bolts to fill all the missing holes securing my Vector power board.
