Thank You.

Nah 8 or 16 player line up would be the way to go.... now that brings back memories of the Sega Daytona line-up at the Trocadero in London! :cool:
We want to get some pinball machines in there as well Pete.
If you did have a wall big enough that would be awesome.
Think the most I have ever seen was eight.

i used to love that thing. i wasn't very good but i loved the competition and it made me drive much faster as well so if there was nobody else i would wait for someone to join in before putting the money in. my preferred tactic was the Steve Ovett, to stay on the shoulder of the best driver, if i could manage it, and try to take him on the last bend but one, then hang on.
 
Dodgy panorama shot of the 8 car full motion race simulator. Photo from my old phone. I have video somewhere of me on the full simulator, driving an F1 car around the Abu Dahbi track, did about 2 laps and i was busted

More thanks for JMP, great games-room or what? Shame I had to go too early but Southport FC were at home and I have a season-ticket - they won for a change too!
 
A super-huge thank you to Pete @Wiredworm who sent me a Rocky & Bullwinkle launch button to replace the monstrosity that was on my machine!
He wouldn't take a penny for it either. Thank you so much Pete. You rock.

I know I've said it before but the generosity of people here is just fantastic. There really is a great group of people here. I will of course always help people out where I can too.

Group hug.

Just so you guys can see what a difference Pete's help has made:

A slight improvement I'm sure you'll agree....! :eek:
 
No problems Dean - it's nice to be able to give something back.

Have to say some absolutely superb people on here. I still owe Dan a huge gratitude for sending me his R&B T-Shirt which is still sat waiting to be framed. I've not rushed it because I don't have a gaming room as yet but when I do it'll be getting hung up on the wall with what other bits of pinball-related memorabilia I can gather together.

So yeah, no problems - it was a pleasure to be able to help out. Looks much better than the previous monstrosity - which, if i'm honest, looks to have been borrowed from a fruit machine maybe?
 
Just wanted to say thank you to @Paul for adding semi-tubular rivets into my new JM ramp and also offering to re-blue the ramp flap while he was at it! I have now fitted the new ramp to the game and it looks bloody fab, expect to see a video log soon, or for those attending Midlands League meet 5, there is a very good chance you will get to play it!
 
If was a real fun day at Geoff's place today. Apart from lugging machines up and along a ridiculous 50m entrance way along cobbles and over steps and tree trunks, we got to play a load of pin, eat loads of pretzels, attempt a fix, and I got a PB on AFM, ruling the universe for the first time ever.

It was great fun to start on each game and set ourselves a pingolf-style target before moving to the next. We went IJ-CFTBL-WH2O-TAF-AFM-TOMMY-A13-FG
 
Even more gutted I didn't make it now :(. Damn family wedding!! Sweet line up there Geoff. And we'll done Dan for finally ruling the universe.
 
Massive thanks to @BigIan for sending me some replacement brackets and bolts for my DE Transformer. Not only would he not accept payment for them he wouldn't even let me cover postage.

Yet again i'm overwhelmed by the generosity of people on this forum. I really do need to get along to a show at some point if only to buy the beers for all those people who have been so generous.

I'll be giving these a good clean up and then respraying the transformer body with high heat rustoleum paint. Once done the brackets will be refitted so it will hopefully look nice and tidy in the new cab.
 
Big thanks to NLP Mark and @Mooseman for fixing my armoured cable to games room today after I hit it with a spade and cut right through to the live wire. :eek:

Pins were dark, cold and lonely since the weekend but fixed within days thanks to these guys (again).
