Oh yeah... I remember that... it was funny and scary at the same time to see him all bewildered to see how the glass came off. I did get that one other time before. I bought a Pacman pin from a guy who had it 16 years and never opened the glass. You can imagine how bad it was... I actually threw the cab in the trash because it stank so much...

HUH?

Yup. You read right. I got a PM from him merely stating: Cancel my account.

OK.

So I did.

Weird.  OK, who pushed ALJO over the edge??  

I guess MAACA is proof that what doesn't kill your interest in the hobby makes you strong enough to survive MAACA.  

Sometimes it gets like this: "OK. I am spending WAY too much time on this board." So I can understand removing oneself.  It's like trying to quit smoking, you have to isolate yourself from all the old habits and haunts.

What I find here is that it's like a collective unconscious - we "type" things to each other that we'd never say in person.  And when we get together in person, for the most part, we find out that each person is usually a terrific guy/gal, and not always like our online persona.  Well, except for Adam.  

I think we have to start remembering that it's not a competition to see who gets the most pinballs or the best deals.  (Or whose the best player and who sucks - which I freely admit to.) If we help each other out, we'll all benefit in the end.  

Pinball communism.  Let's paint MAACA red!

.....

Whoa!  Damn, I think I found a tangent in that Xenon cabinet because I just went way, way off on one.  Maybe it's the naptha fumes.

Need more work.    +1  PM Sparky.

Found a handfull of retro 60s silver quarters all jammed in the coin mech from that Pro-Football. I guess the machine had been pulled from and arcade early in its life and travelled from home to home for a while...

Hey, I means what I says and a says what I means, same thing goes for what I type

Look at it this way, if I haven't told you to f**k off yet I obviously don't mean it

Ironically it was Sparky

I don't know... I suspect someone did through PM... he did say my oil can was funny...

Honestly who cares, I didn't see anything said by anyone that should have put anyone over the edge and if you are going to be that much of a child to take your ball a go home, then good ridance.  

I got no time from Drama Queen's

Let's get back to what matters pinball!!

I've never found anything interesting in a pinball just the usual stuff.  No fear was kinda interesting tho as it had so much crap in the bottom of it the entire bottom of the cabient was like 1/2 inch thick full of crap, old bulb boxes, plungers, fuses just tons of crap, dirty as hell.

    I was, of course, kidding - being the non-player player that I am .. you get extra points for being a straight shooter though, I must admit.  

Best thing I ever found as a silver pie spatula, in my Crossword.  I've also found about $7 worth of quarters in the TMNT (sorry Cinder, I kept that), and a NOS 7 digit display glass for a Wms sys 7 (for sale if anyone wants it) in my Firepower.  And a lot of dirt along the way, too.
