I'm interested in hosting another Ottawa Pinball League meeting. I had such a fun time with everyone over last time, that I want to squeeze everyone into my basement again!
I should have a mostly different lineup this time (SMDM works, GNR instead of TAF, and one other change!)
One condition: We must play at LEAST one 6 player game of SMDM. It has six displays and gosh darn it, I want to use them! I ain't selling that game until I have a 6 player game going!
So when do people want to do it? How does Saturday afternoon, 2pm, on August 15 sound?

Being new to the site and living in Ottawa, I would love to attend. Please let me know if that is ok and I will make every effort to attend.
Have a great day.

Current Lineup: Black Knight, Riverboat Gambler, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Flintstones, Orbitor 1, Wipe Out, Breakshot, The Simpsons Pinball Party, Fish Tales, Eight Ball and a 60 in 1 Cocktail.
Not much of a response so far. If there are too few people, you can still come by but it won't be a 'league' night I suppose

Sorry Jonny, but we're busy, too. I'm up for an evening anytime to fill up the 6MDM though! Would love to try that game - its been over 25 years I bet...
Is there a particular reason? i.e. is it just because it's on a weekend during the summer and everyone's out at the cottage? How about the week after? August 22.
Update: I've got PM'd by someone saying they preferred August 29th. How does that sound?

I am hoping my basement will be complete by mid-august so I will be looking to have a pinball night too. I only have 3 pins (CV, BK, and TZ) but I hope that is enough to keep everyone amused. Oh and there is a pool table too.
What's pool? Is that the game with the really large coloured and numbered pinballs, where there are outholes in 6 places around the table?

JP is freaking TALL!! I was gonna put it on the end, but it wouldn't fit because of that piece sticking out of the ceiling. I feel like a 10 year old playing this thing, it's like I have to be on my tippie toes.

Reminder: Meeting this saturday! PM me for my address and phone # if you haven't already.
One thing though: I need a 0.100" molex crimper to get the Six Million Dollar Man working again. I had one ordered from GPE, but he sent me the wrong one (he's sending me the right one for free, but it'll arrive too late). If anyone has one, could you bring it? I just need to crimp a few wires and we'll be good. If not, I suppose I could temporarily hack it using alligator clips or something

Yup 2pm. I already have terminals, thanks! You can come early if you want to help get SMDM running. It was working before, but it's not now. It's definitely a problem with the terminals on a specific connector.

Mind if I drop in for a visit? I really can use a little fun these days...
Hey Tiny... would you like to have your Seawitch cabinet right away? It would give you time to work on the electronics while I finish the playfield. I should be able to finish the cab by the 22nd. If not, I will advise you.

Sure I can take it if you want it out of the way. Hopefully the weather will be fair but I'll bring tarp etc.
Playable Now: Centaur II, Doctor Who, High Speed. Playable Soon: Breakshot, Sorcerer Later: Flash, Genie, Seawitch Fondly remembered: Firepower
