Continuing my Capcom Pinball Magic restoration. Here's one of the leaf switches for the slingshots. Pretty clearly human mangled in a poor attempt to adjust it. I did my best to straighten it out, but may get a new one. Working fine now. #pinball

Replaced a nasty plunger rubber tip on my Pinball Magic. It's crazy I didn't replace this sooner. It's trivial to do! I'd focused on replacing rubbers that required removing half the playfield. Here's the bad one and the new one. Yeah, I prefer the white. BTW, Pinball Magic is awesome. #pinball

My beautiful Scared Stiff (Bally, 1996), which I spent a lot of time making perfect, has gone to a new home. Here's her last picture from the garage before loaded up and driven away. #pinball

Perfect is a strong word, but that would make an excellent group of pins. Although it already is!

Data east games did it in the 90s. Sterns been doing it for a couple of years. Itโ€™s not the worst.

For stern you can disable it. I expect but donโ€™t know 100% you can disable on JJP also.

If so, itโ€™s a big nothing imho.

Oh no!
Broken pins are sad to see.
But they do require a fair amount of upkeep.
Hopefully they get well soon.

Starting to stencil the black knight pinball. We are going with colors that are metallic and quite a bit more bold than the original, just because.

Pinball Magic has a clear captive ball. Mine was old & ugly, had a strange slot -- maybe this isn't an original but rather something another owner repurposed? Ordered a new acrylic one for about $5 and it looks great. See the old + new below plus installed and lighted up! Looks Great! #pinball

I try and post only about Pinball, but I enjoy these old advertisements.

Fun game! Owned it for about 15, sold it about 5 years ago. Sadly the hologram went bad over those years. :(. "MOVE YOUR CAR!"

My Pinball Magic (Capcom, 1995) needed its apron refreshed. Here's the installation of a new decal and the results. #pinball

Capcom Pinball parts can be hard to find. When Pinball Magicโ€™s captive ball post broke, I got something close but it didnโ€™t accept a screw cap to hold the post rubber in place. I designed and 3D printed a sleeve + cap. Very happy with results. Pics: broken, replacement no cap, with my 3d print
