Ok, I'll attempt to guess JP's next table; can I have three guesses?

 

Bill Paxton Pinball - Ben Heck

Derby Daze - Sega Pinball

Good Morning America - Stern

Lost - Ben Heck

 

Ok, I took a fourth guess.......

Might it be ... Star <don't want to spoil> from Bally ?

 

 

Yes! That's the one :D

What I love about this community is that it is open, free for anyone to add their voice. Yes, sometime abused, of course. It is internet.

 

But, what I'm getting at is that tiny details is discussed and fixed - from people who have deep knowledge of one particular machine.

 

I find it kind of fun to see machines created virtually that isn't up on ipdb pr. example.

 

Brazilians came via Carlos, with a huge amount of new information - machines that you don't find on the bible of pinball - read "ipdb". But, JPS made them.

Personally, I'm not very much impressed by their "service" - not adding finds that we know exists and actually have re-creation of..

 

Thanks to all of you ... who've been here for ages, relentlessly trying to improve and get machines unknown to most into the virtual world. 

My collection is huge, over 1k in total, often having to replace a better version from previous.

 

I kind of have this thing - if it exists in the real world. then it belongs in my cab.  Good  re-creation or not.

 

JPS, a king in that regard. He has been around over 2 decades - making tables, improving routines and maybe most important, been the guy that is just everyone respects and listen to.

 

Love you guys and from what I've seen of 1.8.x - we've got a lot to look forward to :)


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

Especially with the older tables, there are always some that have a special meaning for one person or another. For me, it's the Wiggler. I was about 15 years old when I went to a pub with my friend where this wonderful table stood in a corner together with Gottlieb's Spin Wheel. I wasn't that interested in the Spin Wheel, but the Wiggler was the initial spark for half a century of pinball love. 
So a very special thanks to JP for this wonderful replica.

What makes The Wiggler special for me is the inimitable art by Jerrey Kelley combined with the asymmetrical design by Ted Zale. There are now very good replicas for Wiggler, Capersville and Rockmakers. But unfortunately there are a number of other of these pinball jewels that, as far as I know, have not yet been converted:
Alligator or Gator (1969)
Cosmos or Cosmint (1969)
Dogies (1968, has already been converted, but urgently needs a refresh)
Joker (1968) 
Mini Zag (1968)
Surfers (1967)
With the exception of Surfers and Mini Zag, I was able to play all these tables extensively and they are the ones that embody the lifestyle of the 60s for me. It would make me very happy if I were to see one or other of these tables again as a recreation.
