It's been a long time...
« on: May 17, 2023, 09:03:20 PM »
...since I have posted here or even played any pinball at all so I figured it was time to rectify that situation.

Have spent the last week getting some of my machines back to a playable condition as they have been a little neglected.

Took me awhile to remember how to navigate the diagnostic menus but eventually managed to get all lamps plus a majority of switches and coils working on three games.  Also replaced some broken/damaged rubber parts.

Just need to order some replacement parts to get them 100%.

Forgot how good they look all lit up.

Definitely. *%* 
The huge Hasselhoff head on the translite kept people away for a long time.


But over time people have begun to realise that it really is a good game with lots of variety to shoot for.


The unofficial 4.01 Patch has also helped people appreciate the game more.


Saw this "mod" for the translite on another site.
Love the shades!

Probably another reason these are now more popular is the availability of replacement "jumbo" displays.


Even in Glorious colour! ^^^

Yep the displays put people off this and the other jumbo display titles big time I cut one up because the display was dead
