Doctor Who

I picked up a basket case Doctor Who in October of 2013.  I had a lot of other things that had to get done before I could work on it, so I folded it up and stuck it in the garage.  Today I got it back out, it is time to get it working.DSC_0227 (Custom) Continue reading

Whirlwind back at Pizza West

whirlwind backWhirlwind makes its return to PW. Rudy went home for some much needed rest. I installed external flipper return springs on Whirlwind so you now get a nice dead ball bounce off the flippers and they are more responsive. You can also backhand the ramp from the right flipper, which wasn’t possible before. Its tough, but you can do it.

Jason is still the GC. I came within a few million of his score at home but never could knock it off.

ColorDMD for Theatre of Magic

I haven’t had time to get a new (or returning) game ready to put in Pizza West this month.  November and December are always crazy months for repairs as everybody wants their games working for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.  But I did get some eye candy for Theatre of Magic.  ColorDMD did a great job, I think it looks really nice.
