Jonathan @ http://www.1stoppinball.com/ has very kindly donated AND offered some rubber support for my machines if needed for the event . What a great gesture. Thanks dude.

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Well - with a few more kind donations up at NLP and returning home to find funds from The Comet project sale added also .....massive thanks @pintableuser and @abaxas .......the total at the moment stands at £1560.10 !!!!!!!

Counting the days now until the longest day of my pinball life begins - still room in the pot if anyone feels they can spare a few pounds for a cause that touches almost all of us at some time in our lives. I spoke to several pinballinfo'ers over the weekend who have themselves undegone treatment for cancer or have close relatives fighting it now

A little extra just added.

After experiencing long periods on my feet most of the past weekend at NLP, a 24-hour solid stand is gonna be tough ! Best of luck Ivan.

Stay sat down until then, You are going to wish you had once the chalange starts.

I did a 24 hour marathon of playing arcade games in 2011, and it was an enjoyable challenge. I started it at 6am, and I only felt unsure about 4-6 hours in, but after that it wasn't so bad.
However I didn't stand up for all of that time, which sounds like a pain for you!

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

OK ......so its nearly time

First the awesome news that donations now stand at .................<drum roll> ................. £1810 BOOM ! Thats how the pinball kids roll. Thanks to all - still time for more ....could the 2K be reached !?!

Just spent a couple of hours prepping , cleaning games etc, some new balls in a couple, changed some flipper rubbers etc. All ready to rumble now. Didn't get time to fix a power driver board issue on WH20 so that is out of commission , so leaves these magnificent seven to entertain me for 24 hrs .............

Tommy
Addams Family
Indiana Jones (Williams)
Robocop
Baywatch
Bram Stokers Dracula
Fish Tales

I'll be kicking off at 8am with a tribute game to my Dad on Tommy, his favourite machine of mine. I may get the webcam running, if I do I'll post the link. Bar the odd toilet break, 5 min sanity breaks ... I'll be playing pin nearly constantly and will be standing the entire 24 hours.

Got some targets in my mind to achieve, besides beating high scores.

Baywatch - reach the Earthquake wiz mode
TAF - get Super Bear Kicks running
BSD - reach 5th Vid mode, increase loops record to 40+
FT - really start working some Super Jackpot action

Anyway, heres a few pics of the Shack all ready and waiting .





Later soldiers

Good luck Grizz .... may the pinball gods smile down on you

 

[OrochiLeona]

You've got this in the bag Sarge, no worries

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say We're immensely proud of you.

(Oh, and no getting to Earthquake mode by letting the other modes time out, keep that ball moving )

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Thanks guys.

Huge group hug for the amount of money already donated from the pinball community. You guys rock ! You should all be proud to be part of a great scene that clearly is far more than knocking a few balls about a piece of wood.

I'm hitting the sack soon ......long day tomorrow

Will keep you updated best I can .

Sgt GrizZ salutes you all

 

[ronsplooter]
