Hashman. Apparantly I suffer from OCD.
« on: November 26, 2011, 01:16:46 AM »
Well thats what my wife says since after 10 years of buying my first pin ive finally got right into it OCD style :P

I have three pins now and I can see the list growing as I sell of more of my arcade machines to get more pins. I have...

Data East Last Action Hero. Bought it for a princely sum of $600 ten years ago. Its had faults for that 10 years but 3-4 months ago I decided I wanted it 100%. So far ive done all the basics but also managed to fix the notorious magnet processor board thanks to endless google searching and some soldering. The difference the three magnets under the playfield make is just awesome. Seeing 6 balls shooting of in weird directions freaks out everyone who see's it. Only thing I have left to do is a flipper rebuild as they are pretty weak.

Sega Goldeneye. Bought this a few weeks ago. Needed some love which ive now given it. Heaps of globes out, broken satellite and non working magnet flipper ball save. Have now fixed all these issues and it plays awesome. Ball save is freaky and i love the satellite multiball. This pin is soooooo fast compared to LAH. Shame the right flipper has now decided to go a bit lame and decide every now and then to go limp.

Gottleib Freddy A Nightmare On Elm St. In near mint condition looks wise. Flippers very weak, pretty loose freddy jaw, broken flipper glove of course (now replaced with new one from marcos) but otherwise in really nice condition. Sometimes all the kickers seem to go a little weak and I notice a constant "click" noise from the transformer? while its in attract mode. Dont know if this is normal as ive never owned a gottleib before.

So basically I have three awesome looking pinballs all with flipper issues at the moment hahah. Have bought rebuild kits for all of them and hopefeully will build up the courage to change them all over this weekend. Ive never done a flipper rebuild before.

Anyway no doubt youll see me posting many stupid noob questions really soon :)

Welcome aboard.

It is very satisfying working out faults and fixing them yourself, and the guys on here are a very handy resource if you get stuck.

Nice shed! Plenty of room for some more pins there!!

Howdy Dave, welcome to AP, great looking games room. Thanks for the intro, your pin infection appears to be spreading in the usual way.
