Re: TX sector > Venting!!!! and help?

[Going by knowledge of embedded systems here...] If you removed the watchdog board and the game stopped resetting, my guess is that the watchdog board, just like a real world dog, is not being 'fed', so it isn't 'happy'. The watchdog is not getting an appropriate signal for something it is monitorin...

Re: 1975 Solar City

After some consideration and through some friends who've said the game can have home in their basements, I've decided to take SC off the market.

Re: Pinball Near Madison

If your'e up for a trip to Milwaukee, there are a lot of pins on route (at least fifty), and three monthly tournaments at locations that an operator keeps in pretty decent shape. Check out Pinside's map, or visit the Upcoming Events forum on this site to find out what's going on out this way.
