Last May I picked up a second Donkey Kong cabinet from an old high school friend. The cabinet was complete with the exception of a monitor and if not picked up, was headed to the curb on garbage pick up day. I picked up the cabinet with the intention of making it a dedicated Donkey [...]

Power Play Progess
I had some free time over the holidays so I spent a great deal of time working on my recently acquired Power Play pinball. My first priority was a complete cleaning on the top side of the playfield. Since I’m admittedly a novice with pinball machines, I decided to clean the playfield in [...]
Power Play Pictures
I had a chance last night to snap a few pictures of my newly acquired Power Play pinball. As usual, all of these pictures can also be found in the Power Play section of the photo gallery. Here are a couple of overview shots of the cabinet, one showing the sideart, one showing the backglass [...]
Hockey With A Silver Ball
A few weeks ago, I was checking the local craigslist for sale section and noticed an entry simply entitled “pinball machine”. There was no mention of the name of the machine, no pictures and no description other than it needed some work.
I sent an inquiry to the seller and learned that the machine was a Power [...]
Golden Tee – Control Panel
I had a bit of free time over the weekend so I decided to apply my custom made control panel overlay to the “new” Golden Tee control panel. As with all good plans, I quickly ran into a few problems.
Some Work, Finally!
Earlier this week I finally moved the “new” Golden Tee cabinet that I picked up last spring into the basement for some work. After the Cardinals loss, er… gift, to the Dodgers last night, I needed something to do so I decided to finally start working on this cabinet.
Another Donkey Kong Machine

Operation Wolf Pictures
Sunday, I uploaded a few pictures of my recently acquired Taito Operation Wolf cabinet. I haven’t had time to post about the upload and don’t have time right now for a long drawn out post about the cabinet. If you are interested in the pictures, you can find them in the Operation Wolf [...]
Centipede Lives
Just a short update today. I didn’t get around to taking pictures of the Operation Wolf cabinet but hopefully will tonight. While troubleshooting my newly acquired Centipede cabinet, I came to the conclusion that the power supply was bad as I was not getting the proper voltages to the monitor. I ordered [...]
Operation Wolf
Sunday, I picked up another game for my collection. I have been working on this one for a few weeks. I was alerted to a non-working Taito Operation Wolf that was sitting in the garage of a house that was for sale. For those unfamiliar with Operation Wolf, you can read the [...]
