hi, payed it a visit. I think I missed you guys by like five minutes (got the update from twitter earlier). Plays great! Those lightning flippers are cool, too.

CFF total board domination.
GC 3.1 billion.
91 loops.

Fixed jackpot ramp switch on Black Rose. One of the regulars was proud to tell us he now has the GC on it.
Lowered the back legs on Pinball Magic and fixed a broken switch.
Right upper flipper switch on Getaway wasn't making a good contact when pressed.

oh yeah, I noticed that, too. It says, "POWERBALL!" and then a regular ball pops out, and then the powerball multiball starts up immediately.

The power ball is working now. I found it stuck on the playfield.
Thanks guys for letting us know.

Twilight zone is off! Dunno why.
Right thing on pinball magic is gobbling quarters.
That is all

Replaced The Getaway with Fishtales tonight.

Replaced a coil stop on Pinball magic and checked the coin slot.
Fixed the rocket shooter on TZ, so it doesn't bounce out after skill shot.

I'll miss you, Getaway. But Fish Tales rules, too. In fact, I'm going to go play it now! last games before I head outta town.

Fish tales. The right ramp is occasionally reseting the build up to the monster hurry up. Not a big deal, but it seems like an odd thing. Also, the spinner needs lube! It's currently stuck in an up position. I couldn't collect the hurry ups! Still got 1.38bil, though... happened midway in that game.

We fixed up the spinner on Fish Tales, but I couldn't reproduce the hurry up issue.

Thanks for the info on fixing the bounce out on TZ. I'll try to dig down to the bracket and see if that fixes it.

Pinball Magic has a broken bracket on the left slingshot. It will be back to 100% soon.

The time expander is stuck half way on Dr Who, but it was kinda nice it forced me to practice my loops.

Sorry the machines have been falling apart while I'm out of town. Trish is doing the best she can on the normal repairs. We have a new motor for Dr Who and will have all the machines up and going for Tuesday. (I'll be back Sunday)

Uh, so the "stage" shot on Pinball Magic occasionally doesn't register shots, and it just keeps the ball and the ball searches don't give it back. So you have to tilt out the get the ball back. This happened to me twice last night. It happens after lighting the stage (I believe three shots to it lights it).
It doesn't do it every time, though. But it's a bummer when this happens when you're 15 million behind, and you aren't awarded the 10million for the stage, and then you have to tilt...

Sorry it started acting up on you. I think it has an opto in there to detect the ball. I'll check it out soon.

Police force - the lock is not working. It is dropping the ball through and also spitting out a new one and also advancing to ball 2. It's jacked.

and the display is messed up.

Flippers on TZ are losing steam.

We didn't see anything wrong with Police Force today when we stopped by, but we'll keep an eye on it. Tomorrow we will be putting a new display in Police Force and rebuilding the flippers on Twilight Zone.

Thanks,
