The signs I put up work a treat ^^^. I don't have to say anything to anybody, my machines are getting treated very well, I don't even have to be in the room so all's good, and to top it off I don't feel like a wanker at all, everyone is cool with it. %.%

Pinball machines have already had "the works" thrown at them whilst they were en route, so it is unlikely that anything done to them now will cause damage.

Personally - These machines should be treated with a bit of respect and belting them around achieves absolutely nothing as you are playing them for free anyway. I've seen people belt the living daylights out of machines and I often wonder if they treat their own games in the same fashion.

Wrong Nino, I have watched a good pinball player for eg, Dan the man where a clever nudge or push at the right time can save a drain or even prepare for a clever shot at a ramp or target.
People that dont like there pins being shook remind me of guys that buy 4 wheel drives and never let them enter a bush track or ever go off road because there scared it may damage them.  *!@

If anyone treated my machines by thumping and tilting them they would be shown the door. No, you don't need to wear white gloves to play my games  %.%

Got my high score on ToM last night without thumping the crap out of my game.

I prefer the Gavin "stance" - looks like he is making love with the machine !

I saw Spurr pick a pin up and drop it side-ways to save a ball once.

I heard Maxwiz had a SDTM on an EM and it ended up going through the window of a multi-story building  #@#

Pinball machines have already had "the works" thrown at them whilst they were en route, so it is unlikely that anything done to them now will cause damage.

Your'e right Nino they've copped a flogging, my main concern is the backglasses aren't secured like they were (the lock mechanism is stuffed in my machines except Galaxy, but i took it out to make it easier for ME,  cause the glass was gonna crack under the tight pressure when I repair/check it), and the tilt mechanisms (except Galaxy) don't exist, I'm not going to rebuild them because some dumb shit can't play pinball and is being an 'unco' bastard.

BASH AWAY HARD i reckon, just don't trash my gear. ^^^

lol Spurr, but I did cringe when you played my Nugent. The BG in it is a tight squeeze, and I allways worry about it. My other 3 machines can take a shove like a 20 buck hooker.

I take it that you have had experience with a $20 hooker.
