Have not forgotten matey. Will do a pin shuffle with Andre in the next few weeks, then I should have space!
Nice one, much appreciated.
Hi cooldan,
Here's pictures of the rings I'm short on dude:
pm incoming as requested sir.
Cheers,
Johnny
pretty sure i have some of those, i'll put them in the post tomorrow when i get your address
don't be daft, they cost pennies. if i hadn't sent them then someone else would, or you could buy from any of the suppliers - my favourite is Andy N of @pinballmania - and no doubt you will end up there soon anyway.
you will soon have your own little stash of bulbs, rubbers, coil sleeves, fuses, diodes, screws, posts, switches........
Speaking of which I need to order a few bits
i looked in the tool box and found what you were after. the ones i sent all say 5/16 on them, but are also all very slightly different sizes, which is odd.
these are in today's post, should be with you tomorrow morning

Does that put Dan in the lead on the karma points league ?17 pinball karma points earned today @cooldanNice work.
Ah. He would have been but I have just awarded myself 18 karma points for the selfless act of giving Dan 17 karma points.
****. I've only got 5. 
****. I've only got 5.
Those are Kudos points Gaz. There is a different league for those. Have no fear, you are still in the lead.
What are these points????
don't worry about them Dave, you haven't got any.
you are still in the lead in the dirty-face-points competition.
No one is going to get close to Dave's dirty face.
Phew. Ok then.
Massive thanks to cooldan, who is indeed cool! I got the rubber rings yesterday and am very grateful. They fit perfect and I've completed the rubbers on my table now - woo hoo.
Also while I was at it, I was looking at my 2 bare spinners and comparing them with the flyer and whatever google images I could find of the machine when it left the factory. It seems they had red outlined diamond decals, half red, half white.
So I set about with my mac-mini and made some images after measuring the spinners, printed onto photo paper, laminated them, stuck double-sided tape to the back then cut them to shape. I am really pleased with the results!
Here's some piccies:
Template printed and laminated:
Roughly cut out and stuck to the tape:
Cut to final size very carefully:
Fixed to machine - now they match the flyer, woo hoo - very proud of these, I haven't done this sorta thing before:
Big thanks to cooldan for helping me out, what a top friend! The rubbers from cooldan were for the plastic pillars that fix the spinners to the tape (closest to centre of table on each side.
I am very happy - woo hoo
A few more minor (I hope) things to fix when I get chance, but am super mega happy, words can't describe. I am loving learning and making this much progress is brilliant! I will create a resto thread once I get chance, it may take some time, as have just started (last week) a new job that involves 6 hours commuting a day, but I will be planning investigating some sticky roll over targets and a loud buzzing from the coin door somewhere while on the train for sure
Thanks again and take care friends.
Cheers,
Johnny

Just got back from month in Thailand 
and whilst being massaged one evening the babe opposite was getting waxed by two as I watched, trust me it was more interesting than any playfield waxing
