After talking with Eric I decided to throw this out to the rest of the group.

Does Saturday June 19 work for everyone at the Huether.  We were thinking
about going by on the 18th and doing some repairs/cleaning so the games
would be ready to go for the following day.

Please respond to this thread or PM me and we'll get this date set ASAP.
Let me know if you'd be available for a couple hours on the 18th as well.

Thanks
Randy  

So,

I'm in for both the friday night repair thing, and the Saturday night tournament, who else is in?

Eric

Unfortunately TOPL is in Carisle that day for a doubleheader so I'm out.

Jim is good for both of those days as well.  

Who else?  Stef?  Mark?  George?  Rob?

Maybe Stef has decided to pack it in after his unsuccessful attempt
to knock me of the top of the leaderboard?

Jim and I repaired a game for a guy in Kitchener who expressed interest
in joining the league and possibly hosting in July.  He has an Old Chicago, T3 and Junkyard.

I really enjoyed T3 in the limited time I spent on it.  Junkyard doesn't seem like a bad game
either considering it seems to get very little love.

The 19th doesn't look good good for me, i will be away that night. So as of right now i don't think i can make this one fellas.

Geo.

I should be able to make this one...
I'll try for the Friday evening as well.  

As it seems that I have no life, those dates work for me.  I guess I'll just have to accept that Randy is better than me and I'll never catch him     so why even try

Ah come on Stef don't be like that
Since I'm the one tallying the scores I figure I can't lose

Eric, any idea what I'll need to bring on the Friday?
I have the obvious tools in mind, just wondering parts
wise is there anything you can think of?  I'm sure I have a few
odds and ends I can donate to the cause.

bring everything you have if we use parts, let me know what you used, and i'll bill the owners for them,
i know the slingshots on fishtales are bitched, so they need the new link plastic peices.

also, the TZ needs a new Bridge rectifier installed, and tons of GI and Backbox repairs to connectors

who else is coming? should be fun anyone have drill bits for drilling out locks? have to change some at the heuther.

Eric

I can probably show up on the Fri to help out and i have a set of good bits for drilling, done my fair share of drilling out locks.

what time you guys plan on showing up on Fri?

i dunno, was figuring after dinner, like maybe 7pm on the friday night for repairs if thats ok with everyone?

Eric

7 works fine for me.  I'll bring what I can.  See you guys there.

Ok,

Went to the heuther today, here's the damage on the machines.

Fish Tales

- Left & Right slingshots are not working - the plastic links are broken.
Has some GI Issues, could be burned connectors.

Lethal Weapon 3

- Auto shooter plastic plunger is shooting out sometimes
the collect jackpot switch is not working, and the backbox lighting is out (burned connector)

Jurassic Park

- Backbox lighting is dead (burned connector) and some playfield lighting is out (burned?)

Addams Family

- lots of playfield lighting out, Swamp hole is covered over as it doesn't always go in properly (bent metal)

Twilight Zone

- Resets constantly - needs BR replaced or something like that, tried plugging in a line conditioner one time, didn't help so the hydro coming in should be ok
also has some GI not working.


Also, there are some other machines that need some help, they have a Lethal Enforcers and the guns fire, but don't register, so i don't know if the guns are dirty, or
the LED's are broken off.

Also, there's a problem with the Joystick on the Ms Pacman, which is probobaly just a switch that needs to be cleaned.

Not too bad, not too good either, but everything seems to be ok, and i've already talked to the owners so we can come in and have our little tournament

Eric

Christian (the guy who Jim and I fixed his T3) and his friend Glenn said they
may come to the Huether Friday night to hang out since they can't make it
on Saturday.

Now back to ripping out my bar, it's just taking up valuable pin room after all.
Damn I need a bigger house, or less pins...........

good luck with that Lots of good machines for sale on here these days, see you friday night, don't forget to bring the connectors and crimper

Thanks

Eric

Sell me your NF and you'll have more room.  

Don't worry Stef, if it leaves the game room (which I don't anticipate happening
for some time) I'll give you the first crack at it.

The bar's gone which has left me room to add one more game.  

I know this sounds like a recording but, as I told the wife this will be the last
change in the line-up for a while.  I even tried to justify it by telling her we need
a better selection of pins to play in our league  .  And no she didn't buy it.

Thanks to everyone who showed up last night at the Heuther to fix the machines,
see you all tonight for the meet

Eric

Another great night last night, thanks to all that showed up and especially Eric for
making it happen.  I even had a good time in spite of the fact that Stef beat me
and quite convincingly too I might add.

Looking forward to our next league night.

Keep an eye on the scores section for an update.

Glad to see the group out on Saturday night, thanks again to everyone who helped fix up and clean the machines, Twilight Zone still needs some love, but that's ok

Can't wait to see the scores, maybe i'll be doing ok again Lethal Weapon was not my friend...

Eric

Scores are up.

Stef closed the gap on 1st place, that better not continue .

We'll have to make another night there and see if we can't take a stab at the
remaining problems and maybe get that TZ up and running.  Maybe some flipper
rebuilds as well, unfortunately there never seems to be enough time.

Eric will you be able to host the next night?  I know Christian with the T3 etc. said he could
host in July.  I 'll have to touch base with him.

Sure, i'd love to host the next night, no problems

Here's Stef reply to Randy :






I think maybe I have to start keeping track of the scores or I'll never catch up.
