The "Today I received" Thread

Today I received a small package from @pinballmania with some nice spares for my RFM
Extension posts, new spotlights and some spare bulb holders. I'd like to thank Andy for being patient while I have explained in long rambling emails which bits I mean by rough placement on the playing field

Having already received replacement rubbers, cleaning kit, many spare switches I am building up to fixing some things.

Hope to report soon that I have received a soldering iron to make good with many of these bits but despite its necessity it just seems so dull to buy
 
Finally received my P-Roc today :clap::clap:. Looking forward to getting the next project built up, might do a bit of a shop log as i work on it

Argh, just realised in my hamfisted editing of the original post while adding the picture I deleted the line thanking you for setting this up for me in the first place. Sorry mate and thanks again :)

I'm really pleased to have helped someone out. Good luck mate. You can't beat that new playfield feeling.
 
Picked up a couple of new games recently :) First off is a DE Star Wars that I got a few weeks ago and is fitted with Pinsound so rocks the proper Star Wars music (I've also upgraded the speakers to take full advantage of it). Big thanks to @Will for hooking me up and @Matt Adams for driving it up to Notts :thumbs:

Today I took a trip to deepest darkest Stoke on Trent to pick up a Space Station :D I've been after one of these for years so really happy to grab it. Definitely a project game so I'll be on the hunt for parts very soon. If anyone has a good condition System 11 lockdown bar and/or a spare blue upper playfield for SS then please give me a shout :thumbs:

Nice work Chris, Space Station is ace! Good luck on an upper playfield though buddy, think I have seen 1 NOS for sale in 10 years of owning mine.... And I stupidly didn't grab it :-(

Plastics are readily available.

How's yr ramp? A guy on Pinside recently repro 'd them... In different colours too :-D.... They might still be around if you need one.

Yeah I was expecting this to be a tricky one to get hold of. Thankfully the damage doesn't affect gameplay and I may be able to repair it with some steel :)
 
Re. Williams "lockdown bars", I shouldn't think that the metal front moulding changed much through the years (other than width, for their late 70's w I d e b o d i e d games). I don't recall much difference between those for FirePower and F-14. Even a Zaccaria e/m item might be suitable.
