I think u might need more then one pin to have a tournament.  If I went to a pinball tornament and only one pin was there I would be sad. I have 9 pins and I'm not even ready to run a tournament.

It seems that a lot of people have turned their back on that pin. I hear it's not one that lasts long in my most people's collections.

It's  a cool pin for sure I just don't love the girly theme. Smiley

I have seen bad play fields where the paint is chipping off near the pop bumpers.

id say money wise, I guess it would be a mistake for me..  locating 20 games for a yeah  vs painting one car and making all the money in one shot.

Im sorry that makes no since at all . first i hope you meant year not for yeah, and I don't paint cars. Im not in it for the money but to collect more games and Im willing to share only if you have a Quarter  for upkeep !!!!!

Is it bad that I was all in it for collecting now im in it for on location ??
I started to collect the games just over a year ago. When I got my first 2 at the same time, a Time pilot ans a Street fighter 2 . Then I had to run across a youtube channel John's Arcade . Well I had a home arcade of 9 games in around 7 months . Then a guy from a place in town found out I had games and wanted me to put some on location.Fast forward  4 months later . I have , I think 47 games and around ten of them spit out tickets  Tongue . Sad to say that is what making money for me to be in this hobby / or just plane out pay for parts every week .
So back to the is it bad that I was in it for collecting for me  or is this a ok way to make my collection bigger and let other s play too Huh?

man i got to get back out there and take a look. Looking at the AC flow chart there is no way I should get the power supply on  with just line 4 on Huh??? Man they did a hack job on this ? Does the fluorescent lamp run the coin door lights or is that for the marquee ?
15  Arcade and Pinball Discussions / Beginner's Help Corner / I dont get it on: January 25, 2015, 08:57:01 am
OK Turtles worked for 2 weeks I go in Yesterday and now it does not power up . It keeps blowing a fuse . The power switch on top  fell apart . I cut the wires from it to keep a idea of where they go . I can get the door light to come on. But soon as I connect the other side it pops the fuse . Is't reading 120 v . Should I have 120 v running up to the switch on top of  the cab ? I changed the power supply. I worked on it over 4 hrs it has a hack job on it where the back door switches are all gone .If someone can seend me a lay out of the wiring and what Volts each  should be ! Thanks guys . Huh?
