Bally Supersonic and Kiss Backglass

We went to visit my sister and brother in law in Phoenix in April before they moved back to Calgary. I packaged up a KISS backglass that Brad got for me down there and my Mom brought it back up. I plan on selling the one I have now because the AZ backglass is nicer.
I also brought back my Supersonic playfield decals. Got these at Marco. I am going to restore this playfield with these decals. I know, alot of work for a Supersonic. I think that anyone else would have took it to the dump but I am going to paint the cabinet as well. Once I get myself organized I am going to take the Kiss and Supersonic into the garage to paint them. I will be making the stencils for the Supersonic cabinet from scratch, they are pretty simple. I need to find a couple of displays for it and then I will have everything. I ordered some IC's for the MPU to fix the display problem as well.

Side Work Completed

I got some more side work done last week and 2 machines out. It is nice to have the additional room. I have been getting calls on a couple more machines that need some work. I have invited those people to bring the machines by sometime. I have been busy with other things so maybe later in February I will be able to do some more side work and save some more machines. Still keeping my eye out for a couple more projects to get lined up for this year!

Today I set my Pro-Football. I have the wiring diagram. I want to figure out the small issues it has and sell it.

LATEST Wanted List

Here's my latest list of PINS I am looking to get:

Bobby Orr Power Play
Eight Ball Deluxe

And Continuing with my music themed pinballs...
Rolling Stones
Guns and Roses


I might have to do some more driving to get these.....

I HAVE MORE ROOM!!

Well, I have been busy with some side work for someone over the holidays as well as continuing the task of reassembling the Kiss playfield. I bought a bench grinder from Princess Auto and installed 2 buffing wheels on it. It has been awesome for polishing up screws and MANY other parts! I will post more pics of the Kiss as I go along. I bought a wiring diagram for that Pro-Football so I can finally address its issues. This game will be VERY NICE in someone's sports-related gamesroom. I sold the second PINBOT today. Sad to see it go...it is in exceptional shape.....also delivered the Alien Poker over the holidays to Saskatchewan. I spent alot of time on that machine....My stock is way down now. I am considering making a "custom" pinball. I am going to do a feasability check and see if it is economical enough to attempt. I have a theme in mind and I have some cool ideas....I would not be keeping it so I need to get my money back out of it....might be fun anyway. This is all just a hobby.....
Also, if you have something to sell, send me an email...!

SOLD Pinbot #2 For Sale $1100

This Pinbot is for sale. It is complete. Has some peeling on the right side of the cabinet. I fixed the topper and flipped it around. Also repaired the visor door. The playfield is in excellent shape with full mylar so it is not worn. Spiral ramp is black and not broken. The blue plastic piece on the left is not broken. The backglass is actually a glass and not a translite. It is working fine and complete. I don't know when I will be able to take this one on, I have to pick my battles and I decided that this one will go.
