Welcome back Joey III   I thought it was Gcmommy's job but I see she stays in the arcade section so
she must be tied up.   Just kidding Gcmommy, I know better, you do a great job of keep Joey
and Joey III along with the kids straight, almost a full time job there.

Well thanks for the warm welcome   

I look forward to meeting those of you that i have not.

Welcome back Joey III.

I was wondering when you were going to get an account up and running on the new site. Don't give Joey or GCmommy too much trouble over there or we'll have to send CH over to kick some B**T.

[CarruthersIII]

AHHH no trouble whats the fun in that...

I wont, and im sure CH would be more then happy to regulate

Hello all, I am a member of the old site and wanted to say thanks for all the great information I have received here.  I currently own 4 Bally 5500's:  Blazing 7's, Diamond Line, California Dreamin' and Betty Boop.

I am nuclear Engineer for the US Navy and like most guys I like to tear things apart to see what makes them work.  My next project is to start tinkering with some Bally EM's.

Thanks again!

[Ron (r273)]

Welcome back deadbus! Always good to here another old forum member found us again. There are a few members out west
that have a Bally or two. You might want to get together with Captainhappy, he is out west somewhere.

Once again glad you found us and welcome back.

Welcome to NLG easternpinman!

Feel free to ask any questions that you have about your slots. We welcome your offer of help with pinball and arcade machines, but you don't have to trade information here to get answers to your questions. We are a group of mostly home slot owners and some professionals who enjoy collecting and working on slots and arcade machines as a hobby, and we try to help everyone that comes to our forum.

Of course, any help that you can provide others in your area of expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look around the site and check out "Rick's FAQ Files" (the link is one of the blue buttons at the top of every page, below the banner ads).

Welcome to the forum easternpinman!  There are a few members that are into pinball and arcade machines. So like Statfreak says, check around the forum and you may find some information you are looking for. If not jump in and don't be afraid to ask, since no question is a dumb one here. We all benefit from them.

Welcome aboard.

My name is Don, and I'm new to this board. I've been collecting arcade games for about 10 years, but have always wanted a slot machine. I bought one a little while ago at an auction, and will be posting some questions in the Universal thread. Just wanted to say Hi.

Welcome to the site easternpinman and gorfman

[alphaminor]

hello all! im somewhat new to the world of coin op,
   started with a multicade, now im up tyo 4 machines, currently restoring a Do! Run Run ( currently seeking detailed marquee and bezel images )
  looking foward to hanging with the experts! 

[a69mopar]

Welcome to the site, many members work with arcade games, pinballs and slot machines, I think most of us are hooked on coin op items.  I have been into these things for most of my life, my brother is more into arcade games and pinballs (electronic tech with pinball training also), I am more into slots.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks,
Wayne

[alphaminor]

Thank you! very nice to be here
 

[frozenlime]

Welcome and all that.

(sorry - i just need 5 posts to grab some files if i recall correctly :p)

[jay]

Nope - the Download database was long gone.....

On the old forum we had complaints and conerns that some of the manuals we had were under restricted distribution.
So this was done away with more than a year or two. If you need help simply ask and our members will be more than happy to help out.

[frozenlime]

Bah, for real? Thanks, I didn't know. Thoght I was banned from the original downloads or something.

BRB PAGE 10

[stayouttadabunker]

I think the main reason for that could be was that people would go in there
and download manuals then turn around and try to sell them on fleabay.
I would think THAT is "bah"...

[StatFreak]

...So this was done away with more than a year or two.

It's been over 32 months.   Time is fun when you're having flies!* Okay, you did say "more than ..  two."
