As if I needed another #project I've been working on recreating the clock from FunHouse #pinball to use as a #Pebble #watch face.
Starting with a vector illustration in #inkscape, then I'll head over to a raster editor to make sure everything looks clean and readable at the small size/resolution of the Pebble.
I'm also planning on rendering Rudy's face with eyes/eyelids/mouth that can animate, a segment display for extra info, and perhaps speech bubbles that pop up his iconic lines.

Cracked solder joints are one big annoyance in pinball. Thanks to the game's mechanical nature, there's a lot of vibrations coming from various mechanisms firing non-stop as the game is played.
The outcome is often weird issues. On lamp boards these are easy to diagnose, just wiggle the connector and if the lamps mysteriously return, take the board for a closer look. These days I can spot the issue even without a magnifying glass, just rotate the board under the work light and look at the solder. There's often a visible crack at the point the problems manifest themselves.
Naturally these happen elsewhere too, I had one game that rebooted at random while it didn't have the typical 5 volt issues. However tapping its CPU board made it reboot and sure enough, the power feed connector was barely hanging in there.
I'd also like to reminder that the wiggle test is not a fix. I've seen way too many wiggle a connector and then close up the game happily, thinking they fixed the issue. This one absolutely needs some hot soldering iron on pin action to go away.

Barbapappa pinball bagatelle machine?!
this isn't a toy, it's like 1m deep. It must have been from an amusement park or store or kids playland.

Had a huge playfield clean+wax, burnt lamp replacement and minor repair session today. Here's about 6 hours of footage in one minute.
No major issues were found, just run of the mill loose wires, cold solders in connectors and bad lamp sockets.

Visiting the Asheville Pinball Museum. Most of the machines *really* aren't in great shape, but they are fun to play.

I had always had my eye on this Mr. Jones watch for obvious reasons. I decided to buy it as a birthday present to myself.

Ryan Pearson of Halifax’s retro arcade Blast From The Past very kindly showed us the inner workings of one of his pinball machines, a Bally Elton John Capt. Fantastic from 1976, one of the last of the pre-digital, electro-mechanical machines. And Ryan told us all about it. So if you’ve ever wanted to know what’s under the playfield… #pinball #arcade https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdxdv4Rt/

One more shot. Which one is the last one that's powered off on the right? No, I don't think the game is called "OUT OF ORDER". #arcade #pinball #RetroGaming #ArcadeMachine #PinballMachine
