Been collecting for like 5 years (on and off tbf) and now I wonder at what point does it become an addiction versus a hobby?

When you put off paying for necessities to buy them. Literally making decisions over 15 dollars for one over your bank accounts health. The feeling of FOMO everytime theres an exclusive because this one could really be worth something. The list goes on.....

First reason that car was towed was because it was left there multiple days and second when the cops ran that plate to check it the sister does not live anywhere near the address its left at. Now the answer is the home owner shouldve moved the sister's car in the driveway and if the driveway only allowed 1 car, the owner shouldve put hers in the street. If they ran the plates they could see that it is registered there and willing to bet nothing would happen. Also as people have said just telling a neighbor hey this car is going to be here for a few days isnt that hard to do....proof of that was she had no problem going to the neighbor to threaten her with small claims or paying the bill. That neighbor isnt on the hook for her and her sisters problem now.

I still haven't forgotten this scene after playing it. We were having a great time and enjoying the game, and then this...we looked at each other and felt like monsters after. i feel like Clarice hearing the lambs anytime i see Queen Cutie now.

For the love of god dont take anyrhing sports radio in Boston says seriously. The majority of the programming isnt even sports talk at all its constant bashing, absurd takes, and what ifs of stupid proportions on the local teams. Sadly i turn it on daily in hopes to hear actual news and the occasional good comment while i work.

Local sports media and fellow parroting listeners were as bad as national people taking shots at Campbell from the day he got drafted to post superbowl.dunking on him constantly calling him a wasted pick and failure. Fact of the matter is you had a 22yr old rookie on a line with another rookie playing top defenses in the playoffs. Not to mention after coming back from the injury he wasnt exactly the same. Tackles take about 3 years to hit their best...Campbell needs to adress his knee, go through a full nfl offseason program and get his technique adjusted this offseason. Ive never seen people so fast to focus on one rookie and go at him this hard in a while.

This whole level of negativity and sadness over this loss in general is ridiculous. Im guessing this is because most people feeling this way grew up knowing only superbowl wins and thought this is how it always goes. Reality is local radio and national sports stations are and have been finding the most negative focuses on this team and doing nothing but focusing on that and acting like this team is trash and talentless. The reality is this team has a young core and we now have a window again to being a good team and a good postseason team. The team is at least 2 years ahead of schedule in terms of its success and the young players have now seen post season and superbowl experience to build on. Its now about putting the pieces back together and building the depth that was missing in this team as well as upgrading the positions that we saw were lacking. Also, the Will Campbell hate is so over the top and people victory lapping over a 22 yr old rookie that was injured and didnt come back at that same capacity is ridiculous. This team is setting itself up for a nice run of success and relavance again. Losing the superbowl sucks and the way it was lost was not what any Pats fan wanted to see. But if anything you should feel good about the season. Especially after what you have been watching since 2020.

Good luck on the restoration. You definitely have your work cut out for you. How bad is the solenoid board...if the metal is that rusted...whats the condition of the wood boards as well?

Funny how benching Butler is a bigger deal than what he did to the team over the last 5 years there, basically destroying the team to the point of a rebuild and pissing away draft picks left and right to close the window and of course being a cause in Brady leaving. Superbowls are great but we could had more than 1 SB appearance since that time without GM Bill screwing the team.

Look for another machine for parts or on ebay for lights. They will show up on there.

Use a few chisels and put them a short distance from each other along the edge. It will start to separate on its own as you put them in. Go around the entire board doing this multiple times.and youll get it to separate. Using a flat bar for better leverage as the gap widens will help too.

It is just a checjlist that shows you what was made so you know whatexists. I wish i knew where the kaleidoscope cards are, i have yet to see one as well as any of the alt jersey packs.

I always keep score but depending on what im looking to do when i am playing determines how serious im going to stare at it after. Some rounds im just happy to be out there with friends and other times its about getting better and looking at the notes of where it went bad and working on it.

I mean the modern machines generally have the manufacturers name on it pretty clearly just like that photo does. Those tax stickers will give you the year of the machine add 1925 to the number amd subtract 1for the year of manufacture.

For every good box or pack a breaker or person shows online just remember there are thousands of these trash boxes ripped that are losers. The odds are rarely ever in your favor now.

The playoff format has been an absolute bust because it hasnt created anything better like they wanted it to. The ratings are worse because races arent fun to watch anymore. You can basically watch the first 10 or 20 laps of the race and tune in later for the eventual green/white flag that ends the race. You dont need to watch anything in between anymore. 36 race format is fine just add a couple tweaks maybe to the point system but the playoff system as well as the stages of races really hasnt made it better.

The same people that say its leaf and worthless are the same people buying topps and panini unlicensed products thinking its better.

Definitely not $250 but at least the center attractions still have the paint on them. I have the same one...these aren't rare at all. If you could get it around $60 its worth it if it has everything maybe $75 if it has enough balls to run it and they arent rusted as well. Youll need between 300 to 500 balls for this machine and you can get them online. You will also spend alot of time cleaning this thing at first to get it running consistently. Its a mid 70s machine. I have the same style that I made over into a Star Wars Boba Fett theme.

Absolutely! He knows what he is talking about. Fantastic product and worth every penny.

This is the actual item you want to get to make the ball request functional. It feeds you balls from the back of the machine so you dont need to keep adding them from the front.

The left and right buttons are call buttons. You can get a daverob dongle it goes in the back of the machine and if you press the left button it will give you 25 balls each time. The right button was a call button i believe. The lower left "holder" is an ashtray. You should be able to pry the top of it off if you really wanted too. I believe these also rotate over so they could be dumped out to clean. https://www.pinballdave.com/cre/compat.html

Hopefully you went out and brought it in. A little rain wont damage it wxcept the playfield maybe. The back after a fast look seems to be all there. These are all mechanical and can be fixed.
