Had to take the car in for service today, and for no readily apparent reason Midas was being terrorized by geese...

Working on cabinet modifications; I upgraded the monitor mounting so the monitor can be rotated horizontal or vertical; here it is in the horizontal configuration. Still need to add some bezel graphics. Also adding a new interchangeable control panel system to make switching games somewhat easier π

So I found out that the magenta Rust-Oleum with the nice, deep purple colored cap actually paints a bright pink. In other news, my wheelbarrow is looking fabulous! π

Here's the mysterious switch on the back of Camerica cartridges! This is used to enable or disable the Nintendo lockout chip defeat feature; on some consoles, such as the top loader NES, you needed to move the switch to position B to disable the lockout defeat since it wasn't necessary.

A bit over a year ago one of the pinballs in our Black Knight 2000 went missing. I searched high and low, but couldn't find it so I bought a new one. Well, while installing new plastic parts tonight I finally found it! No idea how, but here's where it got itself wedged π So that's a mystery solved π΅οΈββοΈ

Another project begins! For Christmas Michelle got me a shiny new set of plastics for Black Knight 2000; the old plastic pieces on our machine have very faded colors and many of them are cracked or broken. So I began some installation tonight!

We're on a roll today! I got my Salesforce Platform Developer II certification, and to celebrate got a new high score in Black Knight: Sword of Rage. And Michelle was on a Xenon tube-shot streak as well!
