I had only been in the hobby for a few months before I was bowled over with the generoisty of some folks. I can remember someone local handing me a bunch of overlays because he could never use them and didn’t know what they were. Turned out they were for Lode Runner, and I was able to flip them for $20 each. I also remember Hans O hooking me up with a brand-new control panel button hole drill bit for free. Sometime later, someone on KLOV started the idea of a “Free Friday”. For the first couple of weeks, a thread would pop up with several people listing (more…)

Because he brings me cool stuff:

This shipment came in from Marco specialties. I got 2 remote battery kits, a molex connector pack (unfortunately wrong size on the one I need) to clean up Skateball, a rubber ring kit for Skateball, some heat sink compound – just ’cause, a new bally flipper, and another This Old Pinball DVD, which I can never get enough of. I plan on doing some reviews of the videos soon when I get time, which may be never at the rate this year is going.

I am in need of two playfield rest latches for a Bally Strange Science. For some unknown reason mine came without these and as a result, the playfield sits lower than it should. Right now, I currently have a stack of books keeping the playfield aloft as withouth it, you can’t push the right flipper button. I don’t even know the technical name for this item, so even that may help me in a search. The picture to the right is an example of what I’m looking for, but the one I need is actually a bit taller. This one was given to me by a nice fellow off of the KLOV forums and came off of a Bally Eight Ball Deluxe. I don’t know if other 6803 Bally games used the same sizes, but if you have one, let me know. I would be most grateful! Thanks!
