Printed myself a 68xx #reference guide and put it in a binder. It'll be nice having a paper reference while I'm working on the Time Machine #Pinball #disassembly effort.

I've really been enjoying having a color #printer of my very own, and I'm especially happy about the fact that I haven't even put a visible dent in the ink tank fill indicators from the first fillup. The #EcoTank was pricey, but not having to be skimpy on ink usage is worth it.

A 3/4 inch binder with a color printed copy of the cover of "How to Program and Interface the 6800" by Andrew C. Staugaard, Jr. I found this book on archive.org while looking through 6800-series resources.
A spread from "How to Program and Interface the 6800" showing the instruction set reference. There's a divider tab, after which I also printed the chapter about the PIA chip, since there are a lot of them on the Data East mainboard for interfacing with lamps, switches, coils, and everything else.

How many #streamers #repair their games mid-stream? My left flipper lost power while I was playing and I fixed it with a crisp $1 bill. The video and audio went a bit wonky probably due to the EMF generated by the arcing EOS switch, but I managed to get back up and running in a few minutes.

I'm going to be streaming my Data East Time Machine #Pinball tonight around 7:00 Eastern on #Twitch. Drop a #follow to get notified when I go live for some intermediate-level play, some music to match the theme of traveling back to the 70's, 60's and 50's, and some lukewarm banter. Maybe I'll even set a new High Score!

I don't know if I'm going to make streaming my Data East Time Machine a regular thing, but I got a good clip out of Friday night's stream.

After the Starwarp countdown started I missed my first shot but managed to get the ball under control with a dangerous nudge, and hit the shot for a million points. Then a ski pass to the lock shot made for a nice combo.

Well, it happened. I bought my first pinball machine. Say hello to my Data East Time Machine!

Getting it in the door was an ordeal as the backbox was a few millimeters too wide for the door. We had to detach the head and put it through sideways, while shimmying the rest of the cabinet along to avoid having to detach all of the wiring.

It's playing great with just a few minor repairs, though the left flipper is due for a rebuild.

A Data East Time Machine pinball. It's glowing in a darkened room. The backglass shows a light blue car with people representing stereotypical people from the 80's, 70's, 60's, and 50's in (or hanging off of) it. The machine has four alphanumeric displays to show the scores and information.
