Hey are you related to John Crate the OPP chopper pilot? We have done a few airshows together. It's been a few years since I saw him out flying a Twinstar. It was in Orilla last time. Really nice guy.

Where do you get a girlfriend like that? My better half only spends that kinda money on herself. lol.

What's in the lineup? What I can see from here looks good.

I'm up there tomorrow morning to drop of my son to the grandparents. I have to run back though since I sold an EM machine I had and the guy is comming to pick it up in afternoon so I don't have much time tomorrow. Pretty limited window but I will certainly take you up on the offer. How do you keep your machines leveled on the boats? Must get a lot of tilts. Same goes this way if you want to drop into Newmarket.

Lineup is LOTR, RFM, WH20, TAF, JY, and Dr.Who.  

I don't live on a Boat  I live in Simcoe Landing just off Ravenshoe @ leslie

Nope, not related to John Crate, I lived Downtown for 22 some odd years right at Broadview and Danforth, moved up to Kesiwck just a little over a year ago, really like it up here.

Tommorow is not good for me either, I had the RFM up on Halloween for the kids to play, and I still have to put away all the Halloweeen decorations that are strwen across my basment, I can barely walk through my basment let alone play any games  

Cleaning it up tommorow, Dr. who I'm having some problems with, something wrong with the Time Expander, optos arnt't working, I thought it was just some bad optos tried to replace them seemed to make it worse, not a board expert so kinda lost at this point, but that's more a post for the repair forum

I found my Girlfriend in Scarbrough, try there, mabye you'll get lucky, I did

Crates Marina??  Yep, that is me and Yep I really do love pinball espically since this was what was under the wrapping paper...

Sorry I misread your statement as "that is me" as in a Crate as opposed to "that is me" in the picture. You still liking the RFM? I was thinking of picking one of these up more for the novelty of it then the gameplay.

Are you missing the topper cover on your WH2O or is that just the photo.

I still really enjoy it, I will eventually get the SW:EP1 kit for it as well, just not right now as I don't really like SW:EP1 but for Under a 1K where else are you going to get a pinball that cheap.  I find it's fun to play with good humor, I lov the design of the machine, easiest shop job I've ever done, and the other thing is I like to collect games that have unique factors in them.  P2K is deffintly a unique way of playing pinball.

It would be a shame to go over the cabinet with the Star Wars EP1 graphics. I like the RFM theme better. Can you put the playfield for EP1 in without losing the ability to go back to RFM?

I got the chance to play it down south. It was in good shape and played properly. I liked how each level was like a "B" movie trailer. Great sound to it but I thought for the most part I was pounding the centre targets. The Video aspect and theme make up for the shortfalls in playfield options though in my opinion. It be nice to have it and an AFM together.

I find I barely ever go after the Center targets, usually the ramps and loops I find are more effective.  As for SW:EP1 no I wouldn't redecal the cabinet, the playfields are swapable, very easy to do, you can buy a kit that makes changing the game possible in about 45 mins - an hour if not less.  the soundtrack and video screen defintly make up for the lack of playfield, I still have fun playing it.
