I am a newbie, picking up a cheap MR MRs Pac Man as it was the only machine I could realistically afford at the time.
There have been options to trade up to some other (more advanced) machines. However these are Data East games and from what I can see the maintenance required is likely to be...
Hello There. So tomorrow Martin / Martin's Brother-in-Law will be delivering my first pin and I thought this would be a good time to start a thread and reach out for some basic advice on the dos and don'ts. I am looking to put out my 'pinball journey' thread when I have things how I want them...

This one is Bally Gameshow, great example was bought from a very...
So once upon a time I was a collector of Pinball machines with a pension for grabbing up solid state Bally and Williams pins. I sold off a lot of them to help pay for college but decided that there were two I wouldn't part with: my 1979 Bally Paragon (one of the few games I rolled over--in the...
Hey,
I've just picked up my first ever non-EM game before Christmas, and so far, it has been fantastic. Bought it at a bargain price (by today's standards at least) and got it from being unresponsive to a fully playable state. When buying, the playfield looked good. All artwork was intact, and...

Hi, I recently picked up a Bally HMM from a barn (I'm keeping a thread going in the Shop Logs section) and it has a sound issue where it very loudly plays white noise over all the actual sound effects. I've searched and found lots of advice for missing sounds but not for this problem.

My beloved Paragon developed a problem that I just can't figure out. Desperate for advice.
ALL of the playfield lights got flickery, and now are not working at all. First, I replaced the rectifier board (AS-2518-18) with an all-new replacement. No change. Then I got a replacement lamp...
Have you ever wondered if you're running the latest and greatest code for your game?
Found this handy and currently maintained list of software versions.
It includes official releases, home versions and also very recent homebrew modifications for older games like RS and TAF...

Hi ,has anyone got a known working bally power transformer block for a space invader please ?
Still looking the tops for the 50 bumpers if anyone has them and a sling shot plastic
Selling for a friend. Only 1256 units were made.
The game is in working order but with two issues that I am currently trying to fix. Firstly, the special doesn't light. Secondly, the ball in play light skips so you end up with a 3 ball game instead of five.
As you can see from the pics the...
Fully working Embryon. Rare wide body Bally.
Bad points :-
Cabinet was painted by original operator, if you can figure out how to strip it, the original artwork might be under there.
Backglass is complete, with minor imperfections, and has overall raised sections characteristic of this era...
