Beaky did an overhaul on my Bally SS boards and they are like brand new.  He is now doing my other set.  I just sent everything up from Melbourne.  Very very happy and mighty impressed.  Highly recommended.  He is an extremely valuable resource in a very small market!

I have been burnt by a dodgy tech before, after that beaky is a godsend.
He has done some some boards for me as well as general pin reapair.
He takes extra care and goes out of his way to make sure everything is just right.

I have had some more boards from other members dropped off to my place today for Andy to fix.  ^^^
Word of mouth travels fast. Happy customer Reccomendations means more work.  ^^^ I will drop them over tomorrow mate.

I have got a sound board and a DMD driver board for ya from the member. Then you have to finish off all my Phoenix boards and replace all the old stuff still left on them.

You will be busy til Xmas but you are carving thru it at a nice rate. Well done Beaky.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I try and do my best to keep your machines running smoothly.

I don't get a lot of time to jump on here ATM due to board repairs and call outs to repair machines in peoples homes.

It's amazing how many people have a pinball machine in their house on the Gold Coast alone, and I love the true stories of how they acquired the machine.

Just about every time I go to someone's house to repair a machine there is a teenager or a younger kid just dying to play the machine when it's fixed, so maybe there is a future for pinball with the next generation.  #*#

ok Andrew came out today to put back in my boards he repaired, well he went above and beyond the normal to fix them, came out and fixed other things with my machine, and if any one has ever had a devil machine that just would not play ball would know any repairer would charge out their back side to fix when it was a mountain of issues, i now have a machine that is relyable and ready to do work in our shop. He also came over to my house after fixing our shop's machine to swap over the boards on my wcs94 into the new headbox. again did an awesome job and cant say in words how great this guy's work is. true champ and bloody good prices. he is rare in the fact he actually cares about how his work is seen and wants to impress the customer. will use again

Thanks for the kind words and the great hospitality Jason & Olivia
It was a devil of a machine but as you know I never give up on a fault / faults until they are fixed.

I must also thank the members who helped me out by supplying me with the schematics & sound files for your machine.

I could have kicked myself for leaving the system 80B schematics at home today but fortunately I was able to remember enough from them to be able to diagnose all the remaining faults on your ROCK.

I must admit we got the guts of the back box changed over pretty quickly on your WCS.

And the steak sandwich that was supplied to me for lunch from your shop was second to none.
