If you ever think of selling it Ian that would be a project I would love to finish.
But would probably end up back at your place once fixed because i know you love that machine.
Quoted from Sparky


I am not back. JD, Splitskull and MacPhreak have me tied up in my basement in front of my computer, and they zap me with a tazer strapped to the chair if I don't cooperate.   ...Crap... and I told myself I wouldn't post anymore.  

But my feelings remain. I did part out 2 vids last night and chucked them, and sold 2 project pins I had stashed for a mere 50$ if the guy came to get them in less than 30 minutes and he keeps his mouth shut. Most of my small parts (mostly pinball hardware) are in the trash. And the only reason I didn't chuck my monitors is because I don't want the neighbor's dog to get zapped (he seems to really enjoy urinating on my garbage...).

All I am hesitating on now is Lightning. Still on the fence with that one.


Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

well with the season in full swing you know through out it there will be some more battles and drama think of it as a reality show in text form. hopefully no one gets hurt from the occasional mob.  as for sparky well he has to stay it says so in the contract that he signed in blood.

Wish you were  

Put the lightning in the back of the shed and sit on it for a while..  Wait for the anger to disappear then make your decision.

Hope all is well...

sok Ian, you're not alone, I'm also hosting my own parts toss olympics   a few events so far include:
-Ms Pac PCB discus distance toss (watch your fingers on the solder side! wear gloves!)
-Midway cab downhill roll ( I live on a bit of a hill)
-(last week) Data East pin 20 meter drag-a-thon

and coming up----

Data East playfield VS Caterpillar C-12 contest
and man, I am holding off....but spending 1400 on the KISS "real flames sideart" instead of crating it is tempting

twisted, but therapeutic!

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

It's official. The backhoe wins.

PS: I made a movie of the whole thing. That was extremely stress-relieving! Relax people... it'sd just a scrap playfield.
