TrainsR4Me Pinball board are really hard to find, to be quite honest, I'd look on eBay first of all, if nothing turns up there, try looking at Steve Young's pinball page www.pbresource.com. He specializes in Gottlieb parts and supplies. If you come across a non-working...

Am I the only person on MyLot that hates Valentine's Day?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 14 Feb 07

OK - I am going crazy! Everywhere I look, and read, there are posts about Valentine's Day. What are your plans? What will you buy for your loved one etc, etc? Yet to me - it is the most horrible, tacky, overly-commercial, "day"...

TrainsR4Me I would first try on eBay, I have bought a lot of things for my pinball machine there. If not, did you try marcospecialties.com (the Marco site) as pinball people call it. They have just about anything you could want too at decent prices. If that fails do a...

Pinball Tech Needed- 1986 Gottlieb Gold Wing Issue

TrainsR4Me @TrainsR4Me (231) • United States 5 Feb 07

I just bought a 1986 Premier/Gotttlieb Gold Wings Pinball and it is in terrific shape! The only problem that it has is that the credit knocker coil will not work. I pulled the old coil and discovered it was melted and burnt. So...

What are your favorite tv shows right now?

TrainsR4Me I have two favorite shows, my first is CSI. I love how the show changes plots and reflects the real life CSI's. I also love the graphics they do like when they show how a bullet would travel into somebody's body. I also like Ghost Hunters. That show is the...

Old Time Wrestling(BRING IT BACK)

DGarcia879 @DGarcia879 (46) • United States 6 Dec 06

I'm getting fed up with how pro wrestling is today. WWE is the superpromotion of the World(for every nation). Remember back in the day when fans(depending on what city or state they live in), they tuned in to local Pro Wrestling...

TrainsR4Me I used to love the old-fashioned WWF and the collection of wrestlers they had! They used to do shows in a local shrine in our area. They place barely held 2,000 people, but they still did it. I liked the Iron Sheek, Andre the Giant, George the Animal Steel,...

TrainsR4Me I think it depends on where you work. If you are in the public's eye, it's proffesional for all store employees to look similar. It gives a sense of teamwork and unity. If you work in manufacturing or industry, there really is no sense in all dressing alike...

TrainsR4Me We do have a dress code, but its very comfortable. I work in a plant that manufactures windows for automobiles, and all we have to wear is blue jeans, a non-offensive T-shirt and safety boots. It gets pretty hot in the summer, but I won't complain...

TrainsR4Me I'm not a doctor, but I haven't heard anything overly fatal about drinkig coffee. Now, my dad has heart problems and the amount of caffeine in coffee can be really bad for his heart. In that case he has to stick to decaf. The only other bad effect is the...

TrainsR4Me I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but frankly any man who says "you need to lose weight, dress differently, stop seeing your friends", etc. isn't a very good choice for you. A true man will love and respect you no matter what you look like or how you...

How hard is college compared to high school?

JackTerre @JackTerre (38) • United States 6 Dec 06

I'm a senior in high school and I'll be starting college next year. I've been asking around lately asking how college compares to high school in terms of work load. Some people have told me high school was harder than college but...

TrainsR4Me In my opinion, the first two years of college are like 13th and 14th grades. It's more basic stuff just on a more in depth level. Your high school grades will represent how you'll do your first two years. The second two years will be more focused on your...

TrainsR4Me If this teacher is unwilling to cooperate, maybe you need to go to the superintendant of the school district with your concern. Maybe this person shouldn't be teaching or they need to go back to school themselves to learn something about their career choice....

Anyone need help or ideas for a Christmas train layout?

TrainsR4Me @TrainsR4Me (231) • United States 11 Nov 06

Do you need tips or suggestions on what kind of train to put around your Christmas tree? Or do you need help with a problem? I can try to help, I've worked with model trains for quite some time.

Anyone know where this carousel is located?

TrainsR4Me I'm not quite sure on that one, but it is a very intricately crafted carousel and probably from the early 1900's. I worked in an amusement park during my college years but our park only had a mass-produced 'carnie' version. If you get a chance, check out the...
