Roll out!
Transformers is working pretty nicely! Cleaned a lot, replaced rubbers and some bulbs, and fixed the right flipper by replacing the transistor on the board. I had some good fun playing but I’ve only put in a few games. Not quite sure how any of the rules and modes work at this point. It’s fast…

Babysitting the Decepticons
My friend Paul needed a place to put his Decepticons LE for awhile so it’ll be in my arcade till he comes to take it back. Needs some very minor repairs and a clean. Will probably refresh the rubbers too. I’ve never played it before and I’m looking forward to getting to know the game.…

Actually i hate polishing most things, but metal shooter rods are really fun to polish. I just pop the rod into my drill and work it through scotch pads. In the end i’ll spin it on a rag with mother’s.

Another rebuilt stepper
Used all the new techniques that Nic taught me and rebuilt the second stepper unit in Team One. It was pretty easy to do and took me a little over an hour. It’s really satisfying to get everything working 100% and all the contacts burnished and all the springs clean and perfectly adjusted. I’ve got…

More Team One teardown
Getting everything ready for the tumbler, including all the rollover lane switches. ayayyyyy. Also put together my Pinball Resource shopping list. I need quite a few new parts for this machine, so much of the plastic is cracked, and pops need to be rebuilt.
