More Team One vectors
Added the plastic posts, drop targets, and wood rails (just barely shown), and made the inserts the correct colors.

Putting in pinball work
Tomorrow I’ll go through Funhouse and that’ll mean I’ve got 8 machines nicely dialed in.

Millennium Falcon mod (final)
Wanted to post the final version with properly sculpted lens (I sanded down the excess), including the vertical striations etched in with a dremel. It’s tied to some controlled lighting right now but after playing a premium on location that was lit the whole time I think I’ll end up moving it to a persistent…

PinVault (Indianapolis)
Thanks to some real lucky connections, we were able to get into the PinVault for a couple of hours on Tuesday. What a great space and collection! Thanks to Matt, Ben, and Jon, for making it possible. Special mention to some games i hadn’t played before and thoroughly enjoyed: They also had the best working…

Baby steps (M.F. mod)

Centerpoint Brewery, Indianapolis
Top notch beers, and immaculately maintained pins. This place is a treasure. I only had an hour so I played about half on Indiana Jones, half on Star Trek (managed to nab the 4th high score), and Spider-Man (which I suck at). I could have played here for hours.

Taxi bell woes
Got a new clapper and coil for the bell so I could hook it up. Unfortunately now as soon as the power is on the bell rings. Bad transistor? I don’t have it in me tonight to troubleshoot. I did manage to fix a couple other annoying issues on Taxi. The Dracula catapult now sends…
