So as the title says, does anyone own one?
If so what is your system? can we see some pictures ?

Recently I have been developing an interest in real pinball machines that I used to enjoy at Arcade shops when I was younger. Sadly most if not all of them disappeared. So I was thinking why not invest in a real machine for home use.
I Found a refurbished Gladiators machine from around 1993 for 2500$ and been planning on buying it with some spare parts for it.

In the market for a couple myself including Arcade. Looking for a PinBot. I did though, have the opportunity to fix a couple over the past year for my dad. He bought them and I said I could fix them. I got both up and running.

The two are Tx Sector, and Mousin Around

Here's where I posted about the fix to Tx Sector.

Mousin Around had alot of broken solder joints and a couple bad PIA chips, but managed to get it playing also.

Here's afew pics before and after fixing TX Sector

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
