For our MAACA TV show (which we will film as soon as certain people can come over!!!), I want to do segments on a game we rebuild slowly. I have a few candidates, so I thought I would let you all choose.
Keep in mind, if you pick one of my working pins, I have one less to play with!
So pick the one you want to see get done! Have fun!
My vote is for the custom pin, I really want to know what will happen with this dead pin. Since you have to redo everything on it, you will have plenty to show! 2 years of Macca TV programmation

Not really. Business is dying down so I will have time to do it all in probably 2 months, once the jobs I have to do are done.

Speaking of job, what about doing a pilote for Maaca TV on a Amazing Spiderman PF restoration and clearcoating

Too late... final phase of touch-ups underway. Besides, I don't know if I will be doing clearcoats for much longer.
No more clearcoats?? Why?

No more business. The stuff I currently have has been scheduled for a while. No one has brought anything in a while, and lots of the work I have done still remains unpaid. Besides... like anything, once you start a business, many come along and try to copy you.
It's OK. I will most probably be starting another business soon. Already registered it with the government. But I will probably do the work if someone brings it.
damn.... that means you made repairs on machines ? and people didn't pay you yet???
this is the worst thing to do
It happens. My mistake for not asking for an adequate deposit... me being too nice as usual. My worst case has already been solved. After 6 months and multiple warnings of default of payment, one guy (not a member told me to perform an ungodly act on myself and he dared me to sell his machine.
I did. I sold his refurbished Williams Blackout to a friend of mine in the US for the exact amount that the guy owed me for reconditioning his cabinet and his playfield.
Other cases are minor. But it's OK. A few guys have gotten a shitty stroke of luck with the recession hitting them hard. So I gave them back their games even if I haven't been fully paid. They will pay me back, I have no doubt. I rather see their morale up a bit and find a job first.
Again, a minority. If anything, I am the one that owes people. Some have paid me in advance a while back. That is a leap of faith... and I intend to deliver as best I can. They deserve no less than the best for being patient.
To return to the subject. You already stripped the BG for the custom pin so maybe it's to late for the custom pin show, and since it's custom, you may change direction many times so I changed my vote to restore another pin, anything that isn't not working

On the contrary. The backglass was shot. Even before I messed with it, I needed a new one. So I have not crossed the point of no return on it.
The way things are going, I might have to sell one pin, and it probably will be Flash Gordon. My airbrush compressor died and it just cost me 400$ for a new one.
GREAT NEWS guys!!! On top of seeing Seawitch getting done, it is official... Gory gave me the green light to rebuild the Flash Gordon pin! Of course... I made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
So as soon as I finish up Seawitch and Vengeance's T2 touch-ups, FG will get done!
where are we at with MAACA TV ? I don't see Roberts post.
No interest from people and no time for me to do it. So it died. I still do the occasional shop tip on Youtube but even then I get criticized on some of the advice. So I don't do it much.
