Have you unwrapped Funhouse or Star Trek yet?!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/5/2016 1:18:31 PM
Got them in the basement and unwrapped. Not set up yet. Just finished up the TOTAN.

Finally. It's all about me!!!!!

I hope that playfield looks good - I haven't seen it since I sent it back to Kruzman
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 8:39:30 AM
I've never seen this. It certainly looks original.

iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 8:40:36 AM
I just assumed it was a low frequency filter coil for the speaker
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 8:41:52 AM
Probably but I've never seen it on any other FH.
iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 8:43:36 AM
What's the number on the sound board?
iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 8:43:58 AM
Is it D-11581?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 8:44:46 AM
Nope. A-12738-50003
iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 8:45:33 AM
Ok - that's good - it's a WPC sound board
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 8:45:41 AM
Same number as the last one I did.
iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 8:45:55 AM
The early ones had system 11 sound boards

Seems I saw that at a show somewhere.

Off to the shop. This is a nice solid cabinet.

iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 12:24:14 PM
I had to throw you an easy one after banzai!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 12:34:47 PM
Overall this is a pretty nice game. Better than most.
Nice.

iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 2:06:04 PM
There's always a couple of surprises, right?! Not sure what they were trying to do there though
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 2:07:12 PM
Yup. I love how game looks nice until I get intimate with it. Lol
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 2:43:40 PM
Hopefully someone makes this one. I have the other.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 4:02:57 PM
Fair warning. There's going to be lots of cursing when I take this apart.

iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 4:03:51 PM
I've been in there so I totally understand!
iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 4:04:18 PM
Did modfather send you new eyeballs yet?

Not yet.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/10/2016 4:09:40 PM
And this one is fairly clean.

iMessage Message sent 8/10/2016 4:10:26 PM
I shopped it a million years ago when I bought it so it should be somewhat clean above the playfield and in the subways

No vinyl on FH. Screened directly on the wood.

Dang - not much for you to do on this one - looks really clean
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/12/2016 8:00:53 AM
So far.

Here's a before.

Got a little issue here. I've spread it apart for glue.

iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 7:53:30 AM
Excellent progress - it's moving along really fast!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 7:59:24 AM
I've barely started on the  base.

iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 8:00:54 AM
Aye - but no major roadblocks so far it seems - you aren't having to replace the bottom or anything crazy like that :)
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:15:17 AM
Nope. Just silly stuff.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:15:17 AM
Not much Bondo needed on this one.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:16:28 AM
And 99% of it gets sanded off.

iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 9:16:33 AM
Is that the top of the head?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:20:01 AM
Side and top.
iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 9:20:37 AM
What was in the bolt holes? Brackets for the boards?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:22:30 AM
Those are for the metal corner brackets.
iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 9:22:45 AM
The inside set of 4? I know most B/W have the outside bolts for the corner braces
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:23:01 AM
The smaller ones are for the brackets that hold the light board.
iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 9:23:09 AM
Gotcha
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:23:29 AM
That's all WPC style games.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:28:28 AM
The base has the vinyl material.

iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 9:29:32 AM
Weird - I've never seen that bleed thru effect on the wood underneath
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:44:12 AM
I've seen it now and then.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:44:12 AM
You're supposed to ask why I'm switching from the head to the base.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 9:44:12 AM
I'm done with 80 grit on the head but the paper is still good. So I'll use it to sand off the glue on the base until it's no good. Now I'll switch to 120 on the head.
iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 9:45:07 AM
Makes sense!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 10:12:33 AM
I go through a lot of paper as it is.
SMS Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 10:12:33 AM
Looks bad doesn't it. It's just some kind of stain in the wood.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 10:12:33 AM
Same thing in the back. I don't want you yelling at me if you see that and I say I'm done!!

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 10:12:36 AM
Let's see what I can do with this.



iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 10:14:42 AM
No more Cherie!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
Sadly no. Lol
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
Cherie is a distant memory.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
Last things it break this inside edge. It ends up real sharp. The laminate is so I don't sand a groove in the bottom.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
And yes, that corner needs to be fixed.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
And I clamp it such that I can still work on the back.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
This piece goes in the back of he playfield and needs to be painted the same blue as the cabinet.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
Heads done.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
I lied. Double checked this knot and didn't like it.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:11:30 PM
First time I've ever seen the vinyl plywood used for the back.

iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 12:13:38 PM
Wow - that is funky - was the other FH you did not like that?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 12:16:39 PM
Nope. They always use some cheaper plywood for the backs. This stuff is more expensive.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 1:38:19 PM
Don't think I showed you this before. This is where the glass channel attaches. They always split where the two pieces were stapled together.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 1:38:19 PM
I've tried reglueing and it still wants to happen.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 1:38:19 PM
Here's how I take care of it.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 1:38:19 PM
It'll never happen again and you wouldn't know what I did.

iMessage Message sent 8/13/2016 1:39:22 PM
Heh - yea - I hate always seeing that split. Nicely done!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 1:43:49 PM
There's one side stripped.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/13/2016 2:18:07 PM

Ready for Bondo. The front is a bit of a mess.


iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:00:22 AM
Nothing major. Lots of little stuff.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:00:22 AM
Lots if this kind of stuff. Some of it was self inflicted with my putty knife.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:00:22 AM
While the Bondo cures I'll start on the inside.

iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 9:08:26 AM
Pretty dirty in there
iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 9:09:07 AM
Weird that the power switch block is blue
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:10:59 AM
It's obviously part of a cabinet they cut up and used for this kind of thing. I see that quite a bit.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:28:45 AM
Sorry for the shadows but this part is coming along nicely.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:28:45 AM
This is a mess and always a pain to clean up. I'll see what happens.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:28:45 AM
That didn't go well. Lol

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:28:45 AM
I use a really sharp paint scraper around the edges.

iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 9:29:54 AM
Yea, that does seem like a pain!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:30:32 AM

iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 9:30:47 AM
Haha
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:32:41 AM
Hopefully I can most of the blue off. Sand it and blend it so it looks good. It'll never all come out.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 9:39:08 AM
Something like that but I'll do some more.

iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 9:40:00 AM
Just paint it all! Might look kind of cool
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 11:07:35 AM
I don't know man. When I see that it tells me the guy was too lazy to do it right.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 11:07:35 AM

Lots of that gets filled with primer too.
iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 11:29:50 AM
True
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 11:43:12 AM
Once you've done a few of these you find out what shows and what doesn't. Some guys go WAY farther then necessary.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 1:08:56 PM
There dammit!!

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 1:08:56 PM
Ignore the shadows.
iMessage Message sent 8/15/2016 1:10:25 PM
Haha - very nice - you just needed a challenge! Now what about the blue in the corners/behind the front panel? Paint everything EXCEPT the bottom?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 3:00:15 PM
Yup. I sand as close as I can then sand the corners by hand then scuff with scotchbrite pad. It'll look fine when done.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 3:00:15 PM
All the 120 sanding is done. I'll finish with 220 on Wednesday.

Yup. All your crap.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/15/2016 7:16:58 PM
Gotta do a little color matching tomorrow morning.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:12:26 AM
Got a little problem with the paint. These are the paints Bruce has codes for. Anything else has to be scanned but ink on the decal isn't thick enough to scan. The scanner sees through it and sees white.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:12:26 AM
He's going to mix up a small amount of the one that's the closest and we'll see how close. The actual paint may be a tad different then the chips.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:12:26 AM
I'm also going to paint a sample with the blues I can buy in cans and see what's closer.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:12:26 AM
In the mean time I'll finish sanding the cabinet.

iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 10:15:31 AM
That's weird hat the scanner only sees white? Can it scan the blue on the cab somewhere? (Assuming there is any blue left)
iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 10:16:14 AM
I know beezleboob was able to get a scan at lowes and he listed the paint codes that he mixed...but I know that may not match exactly
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:20:18 AM
I thought of that. There may be enough inside. I'll check with him.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:22:02 AM
I do have these left.

iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 10:24:08 AM
Are those close to the decal color?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:28:00 AM
I need to check that. If I remember right, the last time I did a FH the artwork blue was a bit different then the cabinet.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 10:32:52 AM
The sample needs to be 1 1/2" square. These are 1". We're going to try holding them together and scan. Tomorrow morning.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 11:18:29 AM
Here are the blues I've found to be close. I'll compare them once dry.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:10:02 PM
These are the three blues in a can. Of course then compare the decal to the original rails.



iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 3:11:42 PM
The decal looks way better than all 4 :(
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:14:23 PM
Yup. Quite different from the originals. But I will say, the original artwork was a bit different then the paint used to do the cabinets.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:18:01 PM
I'm almost thinking we go with the original color, as long as the rails can be scanned. The other three look like we tried to match and couldn't. Sometimes that looks worse then if you go farther away with the color, like the rails.
iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 3:20:07 PM
You could be right. I really wish we could match that decal tho!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:24:34 PM
I'll see what they say. Jeff is doing the scanning. He's Bruce's paint rep. He also uses the shop on the weekend to paint cycle parts. Jeff would be doing the painting.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:25:36 PM
I could also ask if they can spray latex. Maybe Hom Depot could scan the artwork.
iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 3:26:14 PM
Sounds good - I'm still perplexed why it wouldn't scan in the first place
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:26:16 PM
With Jeffs scanner, the ink wasn't dense enough.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:26:52 PM
Lol. He took one look at it and said it probably wouldn't work. And it didn't.

Well tell Jefd his scanner sucks ??
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:36:42 PM
Trust me, he calls on all the local body shops. They all use his paint. I'm thinking is scanner is TOO good.
iMessage Message sent 8/16/2016 3:43:36 PM
Maybe it's really good, but broken. Either way, I think he needs a new one!

Lol. I'll tell him that.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 8/16/2016 3:49:25 PM
I'm hoping they can spray any kind of paint. Most of what they use now is water base anyway. Even their clear. All body shops are switching to that. They have to.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 12:43:22 PM
Some adjustments needed. The left side if this new ramp needs to be shaved off. It hangs over the side.

iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 12:47:58 PM
Looking good - that's weird about the ramp - I don't remember how the old one looked
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 12:50:57 PM
I had a number of playfield holes that were off. This one for the hex post was the worst.

I run into odd stuff with repro ramps quite often.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 12:57:33 PM
I loosened it in the bottom side and simply angled it back. You'd never know if I hadn't said something.

iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 12:58:31 PM
That's funky - was it a playfield issue or a ramp issue?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 12:59:25 PM
Playfield. The hole was too far forward.
iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 12:59:48 PM
Gotcha
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 1:01:25 PM
I can drill another in the correct spot and move the post. You'd never see the extra hole.

iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:15:58 PM
It certainly adds some pimp
iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:18:06 PM
Could probably crank them down with GI ocd installed too
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 1:28:48 PM
You can't tell but they are definitely blue. I'm not sure what to think. It would look better if there was a star post on the back side of the sling also lit. That way it would look uniform. Looks odd with just the front lit.
iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:30:45 PM
Ok - lets throw a post on the backside to balance it. Then I would say do the posts that are visible. But stick with blue under clear?
iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:34:45 PM
So 4 more on left side, 4 more on right side (which includes converting the rear slings to posts)

iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:46:16 PM

No room on one like this.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 1:50:16 PM
These two, I could drill a hole in the playfield under the plastics.


iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:51:51 PM
Nah, but go ahead and order 7. I may be able to snip off the plug and squeeze the wires down the backside, then solder the wires to the GI
iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:52:48 PM
Adjusting the post to the bottom most position of course
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/1/2016 1:57:26 PM
That's what's under them. I could drill out a tad more of the slot. At an angle from the backside. The slot would look the same in the topside.

iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:57:49 PM
Perfect
iMessage Message sent 9/1/2016 1:58:14 PM

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/14/2016 4:22:28 PM
Do you have PDI glass for this?
iMessage Message sent 9/14/2016 4:22:44 PM
I don't but can just ship some here if you don't have any
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/14/2016 5:25:39 PM
I don't have any. If you're getting some, I'll just put your old glass back in.
iMessage Message sent 9/14/2016 5:25:45 PM
Ok - that works

iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 9:10:12 AM
This one is being fussy - I haven't seen it on yet!

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:32:31 AM
Not fussy at all. I'll check it out in a bit. Working on the OCD bullcrap. ;-)
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:32:31 AM
There's the controlled lamps.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:32:31 AM
There's the GI.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:32:31 AM
Don't like this part of it. Not sure how to mount it yet.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:32:31 AM
There's how they show to mount it.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:32:31 AM
There's everything in the head.

iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 9:33:37 AM
Looking nice! Almost there!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:35:07 AM
All that's left is the side mirrors. I ordered them better than two weeks ago. I sent them an email this morning.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:38:20 AM
That OCD stuff is really slick.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:38:20 AM
New problem though, none of the star post lights work. freak!!
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 9:42:02 AM
Ick - is it in low power GI mode? The voltage may be too low to light them up
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:44:57 AM
Interesting. I'll check. That must be in adjustments?
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 9:48:34 AM
Yes, there is a way to specify the minimum brightness in the config. You might email herg though and see what he says. I know they had some issues with the blinking bulbs (are those working?)
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:49:02 AM
Blinkers work fine.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:49:22 AM
I'll contact him and see.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 9:58:39 AM
If I go into GI test and run through the brightness, I get no change.

iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 9:59:21 AM
There should be a USB port on the go OCD board - that's what you'll need to configure
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:02:19 AM
Read number 4. And the rest I guess. LED's on the board are acting as they should. I have no idea how to do any of the reconfiguring and such. I have skills but not those.

iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:03:39 AM
Plan b would be to get herg to send us a splitter that would go between GI output and the GI OCD to let us power the star posts off of the raw voltage. But hopefully it can be fixed on the go OCD board.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:05:06 AM
I know on creature, I had to reverse the polarity on several of the small bulbs on the ramp.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:05:08 AM
My thought, even if we aren't getting dimming, the post lights should be on anyway.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:05:21 AM
Exactly
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:05:52 AM
I would say email herg and he can direct us
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:06:01 AM
These are soldered to a bayonet socket.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:06:41 AM
I'll try reversing the leads on one side just to see.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:06:53 AM
Kk
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:12:34 AM
Hot damn!!

iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:12:51 AM
Reversing worked?!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:13:08 AM
Yuppers.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:13:19 AM
Haha - easy peasy!
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:14:24 AM
He converts the voltages from AC to DC and from 60hz to 250hz so he has more granular control.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:14:39 AM
But DC has polarity!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:14:57 AM
Ummmm. Ok. Lol
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:15:00 AM
As you know mr electrician
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:15:26 AM
I'll wire your house not dim your GI.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:16:17 AM
Heh. I do know I'd rather be shocked by 100v AC than 100v DC.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:16:56 AM
Oh dear god yes!!
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:16:58 AM
AC is tingly - DC hurts
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:17:29 AM
You can actually feel the ac changing. Trust me.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:17:55 AM
DC grabs you by the balls and won't let go!!!!
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:18:23 AM
And not in a pleasurable way to grab your balls
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:19:50 AM
Yeah. It's not your wife.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:20:45 AM
All work.

iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:24:18 AM
Dang - dodged a bullet on that one.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:24:24 AM
But do they dim?!?!
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 10:25:12 AM
I'll check in a bit.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 10:26:51 AM
And now you need to fix the LED rings ??
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:08:46 AM
I hate you.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:08:46 AM
And LED's.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:22:40 AM
Turns out the pop lamps are controlled. Not GI. But I've lost all controlled lamps.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 11:23:02 AM
Bummer
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:23:42 AM
Blew the fuse.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:23:42 AM
I'll replace and see what happens.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 11:24:00 AM
That's odd
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:25:05 AM
No idea.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 11:34:58 AM
Back on.

iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 12:39:49 PM
Do you have a use for your old glass?  If not, I’ll send you back some crapty stuff.
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 12:40:08 PM
Yea - I use it until I save up for pdi
iMessage Message sent 9/15/2016 12:40:41 PM
It's probably good glass that came off of a nib game
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/15/2016 2:36:12 PM
Cool. The good stuff is coming back.
iMessage Message sent 9/21/2016 8:52:33 AM
What is FH waiting on now?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/21/2016 8:53:57 AM
Damn mirror blades ordered three weeks ago. I emailed them about a week ago and they send they were shipped and I should have them soon.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/21/2016 8:54:07 AM
Yeah, right.
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/21/2016 12:27:33 PM
Mirrors showed up and of course the right one doesn't fit because of the panel that's only on FH.

iMessage Message sent 9/21/2016 12:28:14 PM
Can it be modded? Or just no mirrors?
iMessage Message received from Bryan Kelly 9/21/2016 12:33:14 PM
I don't think a little something like that will stop me.
