Title: new pin on the horizon for me
Post by: beaky on July 22, 2012, 01:29:56 AM
well guys it's been a long time coming and i really think i deserve a new title in my collection.

one thing i do enjoy about doing on sight repairs is i get to play a variety of pins so it makes it harder to decide on what title to get next.

It is more than likely going to be a WMS WPC title but i am still undecided
The only problem is i won't get a lot of time to play it as even now i am just having a 5 min break from my repair work and will probably stop around 2am  @.@

anyway i will keep you all informed about what i decide  :tumble:

That great to hear.

You have to reward yourself with something fairly new that you can just play - no fixing.

Good idea mate.
Have you narrowed it down to a short list of contenders?

Sounds great matey. I have an idea of which title it is going to be !  && 

Well done on all the board work/repairs you have. Always amazes me when i walk in and see dozens of boards in the queue to get fully refurbished.

Hahaha - so my guess was correct.....

I'm almost there, just double checking the chip connections, it's quite surprising how complex this board actually is.…..some of the tracks on this board are so stupidly thin I wonder what they were thinking? There is no need for them to be so microscopic. I'm beefing all tracks and connections up as usual.

Good on you Andrew. I "gifted" myself recently with an Embryon. There is no better feeling than expanding the collection. You deserve it !

After talking to Andy(Beaky) the Getaway HS2 shld arrive within the next 3 or so days from Melbourne. 
Looking forward to seeing the ball flying around the supercharger whilst listening to the onboard audio with ZZ Top.
Should look good next to the Black Knight 2000. Steve Ritchie pins are always action packed !
Hopefully some photos of the new arrival soon.

no, beaky is buying the getaway machine, not me. he has already paid etc, its getting delivered v soon etc.
as for me, i did a batch sale so i dont have to sell any pins from the home collection unless i want to now,cause i sold some stored pins and the pressure is off hopefully after a recent operation etc.
