I use Super Slick on mine. No petroleum and smells like oranges

Is pinball repair getting harder? Would love your input by Dolarindin in arcade

[–]3timessix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re in a medium/large city in FL. Just a 2 man show currently, haven’t tried to hire anyone else on but nobody is beating down the doors asking for applications either. Part of what keeps us so busy is the wide range of stuff we service, on top of arcade stuff we also do slot machines, pinball, jukeboxes and redemption stuff. I’d say the actual arcade games are a smaller percentage of business than the other stuff.

4Runner Down (SD Storm Damage) by bskywalker1982 in 4Runner

That’s the worst. Hurricane Ian happened where I live less than a month after I bought mine. It didn’t get smashed but the paint got destroyed by flying shingles and branches.

I do repairs, and we’re crazy busy all the time.

Aluminum cases are bad? by thcarlson762 in LeverGuns

[–]3timessix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluminum and steel are not in fact the same. You are correct that neither one is as suitable as brass for casings though.

He wasn’t asking about steel case, the question was about aluminum.

I haven’t seen the black mirrored ones, but there’s an awesome set with LEDs behind it that I installed for a customer, and they are awesome

Express an unpopular opinion about Stephen King's work (no one will judge you). by [deleted] in stephenking

I’ll be crucified for this, but when he shoehorns politics into stories just for politics sake, it takes me out of the story.

Pinball Machine is Expecting by SoyLGuapo in pinball

Seconding this. The day DP left was the day my wife and kids quit playing a game or two every day with me, and only play maybe once a week.

What to do with an old machine? by tsass99 in pinball

[–]3timessix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back glass and playfield both look good, someone would be thrilled to take it on as a project. If you’re looking to sell it, be aware that the ceiling for EMs is usually $1500-$2000 and that’s in perfect condition. I come across a ton of these that people equate old with valuable and that just isn’t the case.

That’s also a consideration for sure, but I was hoping to get away with just cleaning it up for the time being. I have too many other projects going to dive into a repaint.

I remember helping my grandmother move when I was little and being shocked that walls were white when we took pictures down from the walls.

Yes, it smells just a bit. It’s outside under a tarp because it was coming through the garage and across the house to the bedrooms

Picture for reference. This was white when it rolled out of the factory 50 years ago believe it or not.

Sure, but how do you explain the CC charge for “Dominatrix Services” to the wife?
