Still working on a complete restore of the Terminator 2 pinball I acquired a few months back. Game needed much more work then I initially estimated. Just got done freshening the inside of the cabinet with a fresh paint job, and repainted all black metal parts as well. Game will also get a nice new clearcoated playfield installed at some point.

Just got started building a 48 in 1 game for a friend of mine who took a Phoenix cabinet and had the sides and front reproduced.

Finally picked up a Pinball 2000 game, a nice Star Wars:Episode One. Game needs a light shopping and is really nice shape.

Decided to part with the Star Trek: Then Next Generation pinball. Good game with great flow, but decided to trade down to get another Terminator 2: Judgment Day machine. Getting back into video games with a couple of new titles and finishing up a few languishing projects like my Battlezone, Missile Command, and Galaga minis.

I'm about to close a deal on a Robotron: 2084 project, and actively seeking a new Defender cocktail. Looking forward to getting a couple of Williams titles back in my collection.

Finally, I picked up a 60-in-1 board that I am going to put in a custom built Ms. Pac/Galaga cabinet this summer.		  
     
   Sad Day for Pinball Enthusiasts.

Today Stern Pinball laid off designers Dennis Nordman and John Borg, programmers Keith Johnson and Dwight Sullivan, and support legend Joe Blackwell. Apparently, all designer contracts have been terminated as well, according to an RGP post on the behalf of Dennis Nordman. Things are not looking good for the last remaining pinball manufacturer.

  
     
   Mission Accomplished: The Atari 19" Cabaret Video Game Trifecta Acquired.

Wednesday July 30, 2008
Four years ago, I completed a major restoration of an Atari Tempest Cabaret. This was one of the 3 titles that Atari had manufactured in a mini cabinet that supported a 19" monitor. The other 2 were Centipede and Dig Dug.

Well within the last two weeks, I've completed the set. Centipede is a goregeous, completely original example with matching serial numbers on the immaculate boards and monitor, and the Dig Dug is a very restorable project.

I'm looking for the following items if anyone knows of a source for any of this stuff:

  • NOS or Reproduction Control Panel Overlay - I actually had one last year that I sold....
  • A Working Dig Dug PCB.
  • Woodgrain Vinyl Laminate for the Sides.
  
     
   I lied, I acquired two more pin projects.

Couldn't help myself. Picked up a 1977 Bally Mata Hari, and my first EM, a 1976 Gottlieb Target Alpha is on the way. Mata Hari needs some TLC and Target Alpha has a nice playfield and cabinet, but needs backglass work.

Battlezone is going to have to wait. Both BZ boards I have tested not working, and that project has been bumped once again for pinball.
