Another article added to the website yesterday, how to paint a fridge.
A few months ago we bought an old fridge. Cosmetically it wasn't very well, so we repainted it, put some custom-made decals on it, so it now really fits well in the pinball gameroom and has a nice retro look..

Rally-Test mechanical skill game
New game review posted: Rally-Test skillgame
I bought and restored this already last summer. It's fun to play, a vintage mechanical skillgame, made in Italy in the 1970ies. Drop a coin in it, try to get it through the bottom of the track so you can win it back.. and try not let it roll away at the side of the playfield. Very addictive and difficult to play !

RFM third saucer mod
And another new article posted.. this time a modification for Revenge From Mars: add a third saucer with flasher and leds to back of the playfield.
I had some articles submitted by people, just didn't have time the last weeks to translate them all.. so the next days/weeks I'll do some updates to the site, it's been too long..

PInball Suicide Bunny !
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to meet Andy Riley.
Who's Andy Riley you'll ask ?? Well he's the author of the suicide bunnies cartoons.
Of course I had to ask him if he wanted to make a pinball related cartoon for me..
Click here to see the suicide bunny cartoon.

new Tommy blinders repro board developed !
Good news for owners of a Data East Tommy pinball machine !
I can already announce that someone has developed a repro pcb board that drives the blinders. A lot of Tommy owners have problems with this board, and the game is just only half the fun if you cannot play it with the blinders closed.
A good friend of us has developed this repro pcb (it's a total new design using smd components), this weekend we have tested his prototype in our own Tommy (he was just in time as our game is sold and picked up later this week).
It worked perfect, like the original board it has 2 adjustment pots to set how far the blinders open/close, it worked fine in the self-tests of the game, ..
Anyway the prototype is ready, production will start soon (is a matter of days/weeks), so very soon it'll become available ! Watch this space (or other forums) as I'm sure there will be enough public announcements for it..
UPDATE 2011: as I got some emails about these. It seems they are not available anymore. The person who designed them does not work at that company anymore, and the company that produced them seems not to reply to emails or isn't interested in selling pinball parts anymore.
