Let me know which day next week you want me to come over and hold the pin up while you switch the legs around or just order 4 new Heavy Duty round bottom leg levelers from Pinball Wizard and liquid wrench the rusted levelers loose

summary video on youtube. amazing how you can spend days to get this stuff done, and it condenses down to about 10 minutes.

can someone tell me what settings to use in iMovie to get clearer video that still fits the size limit? I have tried all kinds of things...

Congrats Chewy!! I knew you could revive it!

Thanks for keeping us all updated with your post. You have inspired me to tackle something like that.

Great machine-love the theme and graphics/colors. I had no idea those things had so many components under the hood.

yeah. I had no idea how complicated the machines were either, until I saw the clear one at the pinball expo last year. that one had me hooked when I saw all the relays and motors and switches going...

in fact, I am thinking that I will replace one side of mine with a window and some LEDs or ELs to illuminate the inner workings, like those modded computer cases. put mirrors around the sides to show things off... of course, this would mean that I would have to clean up a lot of that moldy wood, too... bleach? oxalic acid?

I bought some red vinyl to cover the other parts of the case with. I got some feedback that it would detract from value if I patch and paint up the original wood. hopefully, she won't look like a big red sofa when I'm done
