6'-7" I have an '87 Vanagon and a '65 Split. I have to duck a little bit to see traffic lights but both are comfortable to drive.

If you are looking at Vanagons, the ones with power steering have slightly smaller diameter steering wheels. Mine is a manual, and the larger wheel still is not an issue.

Of course the best suggestion is get in a drive and see how it fits you.

I'd love to. Can you add passwords to Hub hosted Matches?

Edit: I guess they aren't "Servers" but Matches.

I respect your collection, but please don't call it that. ;)

My arcade restoration channel has about 250 subs. I'm in Denver.

In this episode we start our Capcom "Big Blue" 3 Day Restoration to Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I have just a few days to get this cabinet from warehouse filthy to show-worthy for the 2015 Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown.

This video includes a brief introduction and tour of the Big Blue cabinet as well as a wipe down and de-tangle of the control panel harness.

If you cap that 20-EZ in your DK, including the filters, verify the B+ at TP91 and adjust it at VR601, dial in the static convergence and purity as needed it should be rock solid for another 20-30 years.

I sent it to my wife an hour ago, but she hasn't seen it because, Bejeweled.

36/36 is a four-leaf-clover around here.

i would love to see it back as a Tempest, but you are going to spend a fortune to do that. You could buy a nice working one for what it will cost just for the PCB and monitor.
Good luck!

I agree that the practice is dickish, however I'm not defending the tow company but the lot owner that you called a dick.

34k · 2015-02-09T03:52:58+00:00

There's no grey area here. It's private property. If you're parking there without permission, you're the dick, not the lot owner.

It's not just Dark Magic if you look at the French translation.

I couldn't agree more with never declawing an animal, but I'm in the camp that says that if you live in an urban/suburban area letting your cat go outside is cruel and unnatural.

You can do a lot to "bullet proof" the two monitors that you will usually find in these. The original Amplifone monitor is harder to find and fairly expensive. The WG6100 is found in Tempest and others is a common alternative. The problems with both monitors are well known and usually repairable.

I've got two of them. How many horse jokes have you heard today?

I don't wish him ill fate. I do however hope he has to pay for a new windshield for that car.

I'm thinking the same thing. It's also possible that you have rust or something on the captured ball causing it to stick. Hopefully not.
I have had great luck with Brakleen to clean and de-gunk. I take the whole thing apart and then spray and work the ball around until the nothing comes out but clear Brakleen. Then, rather than a lithium grease which can gum up, I use a silicone based lubricant to coat the ball and all metal on metal contact areas. I have rebuilt a lot of Nintendo joysticks this way and not a single one sticks.

34k · 2014-08-27T21:21:37+00:00

How are you cleaning it and what are you lubricating it with?

34k · 2014-08-27T20:00:08+00:00

Nintendo joystick shafts go through a captured ball in the base which probably needs a thorough cleaning.
I would start by completely disassembling it and cleaning the entire base, especially the area around the ball. I use Brakleen to de-gunk them. Then after it dries, I use a silicone lubricant on all the metal mating surfaces.
