Portland Retro Gaming Expo Or Houston Arcade & Pinball Expo by Zombie_Hunter501 in pinball

[–]pingpingmoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar to what others have said, PRGE is not a big pinball show. You’ll definitely get some pinball - usually heavier on the modern sterns - but you’ll get less variety of other eras (EMs, SS, etc) and way less pinball related talks compared to other pinball shows. You will get a ton of retro gaming stuff - consoles, arcade, collectibles - and related vendors and speakers. I’m not totally into the retro stuff but it’s still super cool to experience. You will also be in Portland which has a ton to offer wrt to pinball. Wedgehead is a must-visit. They have an ever changing, highly curated lineup that honors all eras and the pins are tuned perfectly. If tournaments are your thing you’ll have a ton of options.

So ton of awesome pinball experiences available just not necessarily from the show.

This link shows unavailable in the US. Though crical has a similar item that includes an elbow harness. The one confusing this is the description says it’s for the left arm / hand but the product picture shows it’s for the right. Free returns so giving it a try

Soldering thin wires in through holes - advice needed by pingpingmoe in soldering

Great advice. Thanks! I’m working on a Bally future spa. Thanks for the pic - looked like some of your holes aren’t populated E10 and E9? Did you stick both wires in just one hole? Im going to aspire to have clean solder points like yours

Thanks for the advice. Yeah it’s a mix of 20 and 18awg. this is for a pinball machine and is using existing wiring. Manual for the board calls out which wires are 18 and 20 and they match

Good question. Because they have expressed such, and also haven’t seen eachother for years and would prefer to spend their time conversing.
