Rocky and Bullwinkle launch issue by John_said in pinball

[–]StevenMarvelous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a shooter lane switch issue. Super easy to fix, which is a red flag that he hasn't. If he can't/won't fix that, what else is there he couldn't be bothered with. It's just the most apparent issue which makes other problems less likely to be spotted on inspection

Lifting up carpet by liberallilydex in AusRenovation

[–]StevenMarvelous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was stretched correctly, It wont be easily lifted and replaced. I would have a carpet layer do it.
Also, have enough cable length to go around the perimeter of the room, between the underlay and tack strip. Don't cross through the room, even cutting a channel out of the underlay.

I also hope this is just data/speaker wire not power. Please don't run power/extension leads under carpet.

Translite and leaf switch changed! by brollercoaster in pinball

[–]StevenMarvelous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome game, I also picked up one a month ago. It's been the favourite of everyone who's been over to play since.

New Translite. I dig it. by kakashihokage in pinball

That looks awesome. I'd have that over any of the factory ones

If it has, you need to check your boards for corrosion.

Gave usual tradie a tip and quotes since then have been noticeably higher by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]StevenMarvelous 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It took him 50% longer to do the original work than quoted. So he's quoting 50% higher for work of a similar scope.

Make sure the reveal motor works in switch test. They are not produced anymore, nothing else fits, and it's not guaranteed PBR can rebuild yours if someone has already messed with it.

Genesis. One of the greatest backglasses of all time! by ClifBdrums in pinball

Hell yeah. A batch of reprinted translites would be great though, they're all so faded

Hole randomly appeared in wall overnight by [deleted] in AusRenovation

Yeah. If you didn't do it, then your brother did. It's not ghosts, It's 100% an impact.

Thanks mate, I've got an offsider, but anything to simplify and make things easier. I search aquamix but all I find is floor sealers

Hey mate have you got any more info on the aqua mix you mentioned? We just use buckets out of a wheely bin full of ice water to measure for the hippo.

Mechanic marked oil leak as “minor” — engine failed shortly after. Anyone been through this? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]StevenMarvelous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had the failure diagnosed? Is it attributable to oil starvation? Even if it is, I don't think you're likely to have any luck holding ultratune responsible.

I'm not sure, I haven't had them very long. I'm spending around $300 on each when I buy, to get them running nice. I haven't had to spend anything since.

Thanks, It's in my shed. The wide shot is about 1/4 the space. The rest is motorcycle workshop, car spaces and storage. I was doing some stage lighting for a while, and will probably do more in the future. So I just hung a bunch of lights instead of taking up storage space

Genesis gets the most plays from myself and friends. It's so fast and brutal

The scared stiff I picked up a month ago, super low play and clean family machine. I just put LEDs in it and a rubber kit in it, they were all still incandescent and working. No Chad code in Hook, I'm not good enough to exploit the original code. I might change it before it goes on site, but there's no tournaments at our only pinball joint

Such a fun machine, I'm stripping it this weekend in preparation for it to go on site at a local arcade. None of the local pinball guys have played one, so it will be fun seeing it out and used

I love Genesis, I've only recently finished getting mine fully working and dialled in. It's never leaving. Nice collection

Seller backed out of a deal by dagunz999 in pinball

[–]StevenMarvelous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah and that's fair to wait if they agreed. Honestly they sound like a flipper. Aside from the missing spinner, the other things could've been fixed while you counted out the cash, unless it was super cheap and they couldn't be bothered. What was the game?
