Long shot I know but after playing the one at Dan's yesterday I'm in the market for a GnR.

Stupidly turned down the opportunity to buy one last year.

Cheers

John
 
Jon you missed out on a fine night of pinball debauchery. about 15 folks in all i think, and everyone loved your GnR - the only issue it had was that occasionally the background music would just stop until the game was rebooted, or in menus until we selected it and put it back up to 100% (i don't think it likes being at a mere 75%). at one point late last night (me and Robin were up drinking and whatnot until about 4 or 5 i think) i had the lockdown bar off and wandered off to the kitchen, heard an enormous crash and realised the glass had slid itself out and smacked itself down in the floor. amazing that it didn't shatter, by rights i shoulda had a bucket of diamonds to show for that schoolboy error :)

we fixed the weak autolauncher (it was held on by one instead of three screws) and the flaky left kickback (bent the switch up a bit) but didn't bother trying to chase the sound issue any further as it was more fun to just play it and do air guitar solos

god i feel rough as a badger's **** now though, but at least the floor tiles have stopped spangling in technicolour

Bah hahahah. And the grief I got for leaving the glass in a precarious spot!! That's funny

Good effort on the bed time. Hard core you two are

Well it's nice to know she's in safe hands....sort of!! Gutted to have missed the session and the opportunity to meet some of the fine fellows that grace this forum! That's a new issue to me with the sound dropping out, ive never had her turned on for a prolonged period (story of my life) did it happen after a few hours of play? Any ideas what it is or how to fix? Apologies John for the post hijack!!
 
It doesn't count if your wife never finds out:oops:

My pin embargo was going quite well until March and then I slipped and bought 4.

Got the collection down to a manageable amount at the moment and I'm trying to keep it to this level. I can actually see the end of one of my rooms at the moment. Thought I'd put some feelers out though, just in case....
 
Going for the "one in one out" approach, so nothing really at the moment until I find something I want.
