What I have been up to

[Eddie]

I have not been on pachitalk as much as I would have liked these past few months as I have been knee deep in Pinball machines. I just bought 2 machines and have been doing an extensive amount of work on them and am also in the process of working out getting 2 more and hopefully I wont have to do as much work. More likely then not I will have to as people really dont maintain and or repair machines the proper way. That being said here are some vids I made of my machines

YouTube - Theatre of Magic

YouTube - White Water Pinball Machine with lighting Modifications

YouTube - Williams White Water being played

Also my Coin Op Pachinko has decided to act up and hopefully with the help of member Fronzdan I can get it back on track. Believe it or not it is one of my Prize and favorite of machines and it kills me that it is not working again. Once everything is all squared I will be back on Pachitalk more often and hopefully helping out members and guests with useful info.

Very Nice Machines. I had a White Water in my store mini Arcade a while back and Loved it. One of my buddies has a MM and that one rocks even more. I've had a few machines in the past of my own but always seem to break them and am not good at fixing anything. I am hoping to go the Video Pinball Route soon. Just need to hire someone to put it together for me. Mike : )

They look fantastic!

The only thing I could think of was take a little video of them before mods, if possible, so the uninitiated of us understand how much the changes enhance the look. Maybe a little split screen action.

nice.can't wait to see videos of the other two when you get them.

I'm jealous of the Theatre of Magic pin. I was a pro magician for years, as well as ilusion designer and builder. I feel like some day I need to have that pin. :-)

Busy, busy, busy! Congrats on your growing collection!

Thanks for the Vids!!



I played a Theatre of Magic recently in a seaside arcade, although it wasn't in the best condition, it was certainly a good theme and I'd love one someday,

thinking of remodelling the Garage for Pinball after the (pachinko) extension is built

Orbitor 1
I love that machine its on my wish list is yours in good condition does it have the speech version of the ROM?

[rubberratt]

Hey Eddie,

It was in rough shape electronically, so I had to repair a lot on the solenoid driver and the lamp driver, and clean up the MPU (battery lakage ). There was a VSU, but the cable was not even in the machine, even though the seller said the voice was working 100%

Anyway - after replacing a bunch of transistors, moving the battery off the MPU, some re-soldering of terminal blocks, and a few new connector pins... it works great now, and overall the backglass (3D planets) and the playfield was in really good shape.



I LOVE it and the primitive speech is a hoot ^_^

A GREAT add it is so different

Thats Funny LOL but you still cant hear the machines sounds :-(

The reason they took out my complete audio track is because they said I used the actual intro clip from the movie??? Look at Videos on youtube where people have actually posted the 2001 movie intro and they did not get banned then look at my intro and you can plainly see that I made the intro myself and that it is a spoof of the 2001 intro. Just for the heck of it Im going to reupload the video again and I will post the link so that you guys can see the movie with complete audio but watch it fast before it gets banned again LOL The Orbitor 1 is worth seeing with its sound intact it really is a marvelous machine

Go Eddie Go ! ! !
