9/17/2024: Attention! I am taking slow steps towards retirement. There will be a few major changes, mainly stopping selling items on my web site and only offering items for sale on eBay or directly to vendors and distributors. eBay allows me to manage inventory better and allows me to turn off sales if I take any time off. First item to go to eBay will be the repair kits, then more items as I find time. I’ll also be selling of a large number of my pinball machines and slot machines, starting with projects. I expect this process to take a couple of years as I run out of items to sell. I do have some interested parties in carrying on the Big Daddy line, but it remains to see if that will be possible. Thanks for the past 20 years!

 

 

8/28/2024: Please note that Big Daddy & company will be on vacation from August 31st to September 4th and will resume shipping on September 5th. All orders received before this time will ship if possible. Thanks for your business.

12/05/2023: Please note this is the time to be patient with delivery delays, especially the US Postal Service. I have reports of many packages being delayed aka "arriving late", but all are in the system moving along, it appears the delay is the Kansas City distribution center. Filing a claim does nothing to help the situation, so please just be patient, lost packages are rare. I myself have a stock order that is 3 days late at this point and still marked 1500 miles away.

12/03/2023: December is roaring like a lion. Over the weekend we restocked some Bally, Gottlieb and Williams kits. Also have made available the old pages for Gottlieb repair kits. They work, just ugly.

1/9/2023: USPS's Holiday rate increases usually have ended the first business day after Christmas, not this year they are higher until Jan 22nd. But on Jan 23rd the new postal increases arrive! WHEE!. Rates rarely do down although USPS tries to act like they do. As soon as the holiday rates end, they are increasing prices 5.5% to 7.8%. Even the smallest First class item starts at $4.80. Two year ago they were less than $3. They also are killing off Regional Flat Rate boxes which I used often. Also a hidden fee increase with eBay in the last announcement, it's slight but it is more. I've always tried to be fair with shipping and do have little complaints, but I will be raising them soon, Probably a $1 for most customers.

1/6/2023: One of the things that has held me back from fully reopening is simply that there's a ton of stuff to do. One, the dozens of new boards that 1st need a sample assembled, 2nd tested and any bugs ironed out, and then 3rd more testing. At that point to find the time to assemble them in at least lots of 10 and prep them for shipping. What I tend to do is well, get sidetracked. If you don't know me real well, we now have two 10 year old golden retrievers and two golden retriever puppies. It's a mental and physical workout sometimes! Third thing is working with lawyers to make sure I'm not going to be screwed as hard as the screwball screwer is trying to screw me. Lastly, I'm still filling orders from eBay and direct sales orders. So how I've decided to approach the Big Daddy business is to start listing on my site the items I've bragged about, but not finished. And if I have them finished, get them listed on Big Daddy and eBay. To start, and to get some feedback, I'm adding pictures and will work on wording here: http://www.bigdaddy-enterprises.com/.../BigDaddySignature...Take a look. Scroll down towards the bottom for pics of things in the works, and this is a very small portion. Some products won't make it to the bottom of the list as the are ready to go. They will be listed and ready to sell as I work my way through the boxes. Feedback appreciated

12/31/2022: HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! It has been a roller coaster year and I’m looking for much of it to be behind me. Here’s to 2023!!!

12/01/2022: I have not made the progress I really wanted to on web site changes, one of the issues going on is seemingly going at a snails pace and I'm unsure when it will be resolved. With that being said, I am opening up some of the more desired pages, have patience with me as I update. Click above to enter the Big Daddy Store.

10/04/2022: Just a short update. First off thank you for those that took the time to contact me, much appreciated. So far I have knocked off a few high priority and a dozen lower priority projects, and it feels good to not have to package and ship every day. I don't know when I will be open 100%, but I will plan on opening the sales of Big Daddy, Alltek, remaining Rottendog and other boards first.

08/25/2022: As of today, Big Daddy Enterprises is temporarily closed.

As of today, we are closed for business. All orders to date have shipped. When we will reopen is unknown, but we will reopen. There is no one single reason we are taking a break, but you can assume it's a variety of things. Pick any of these reasons and throw them up in the air and catch a few: Always too busy. Not enough free time. Never taking a day off and only dream of taking an actual vacation. Keyboard commandoes and irrational petty customer complaints. The passing of Lyman, Oursler, Marc, Jim Knight, Ed's wife, Wayne. Heart attack, threat of COVID, skin cancer, broken foot, arthritis, anxiety, stress, betrayal, copycats. PayPal constantly screwing me, unreasonable eBay return policies. It goes on and on. I'm fed up and tired. Once we feel more in control of life, we'll be back. We will be fully stocked and have more Big Daddy boards for sale, after finding the time to build them. You can email me below if you need something from me and I have time.

June/July general: The Post office is increasing rates AGAIN on July 10th mostly affecting First Class, Priority and Express packages. However, they are decreasing Parcel Ground. Up until recently I have paid for the difference and sent Priority mail or UPS when a package exceeds 1lb, which is easy to do. I have been using more USPS Parcel Ground and UPS packages lately at a slight savings. I will continue to do so, so please pick Priority on check out if you want your orders sent that way versus Parcel Ground.

06/30/2022: Please note it is a holiday weekend, there will be no mail sent past noon on Saturday until Tuesday. We are doing everything we can to get packages out.

06/25/2022: XPin power Supply XP-DE5047 is out of stock. Due to parts shortages we've decided on a design change and stock will be weeks out. Due to a packing error the XP-WMS8000 in orange only is out of stock until I can confirm a count of displays.

Regarding Covid 19: We are, as we have been, being very careful. You're Safe With Big Daddy Enterprises ©2022

05/07/2022: XPin displays for Williams System 3-6 in ORANGE are back in stock.

05/03/2022: XPin displays for Shuffle games are finally back in stock. For Williams System 3-6 Shuffles and for Williams System 6A-11 Shuffle games.

05/01/2022: New to the Big Daddy site are more flipper bats for more games. Classic Data East in white and yellow plus "standard" flipper bats in various colors that can be used on nearly any modern game.

3/23/2022: It was a monstrous 2021 and just now updating the site with news, new product and more. So much going on, it's overwhelming sometimes. But being busy is good, I keep telling myself that! Announced months ago and selling on eBay, my Big Daddy version of the Bally/Stern Rectifier board is finally on site. Also the majority of XPin LED displays for Bally, Stern, Williams and Data East are back in stock. With that said, I will post this and get back to work!

12/24/2021: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my great customers!

 

Holiday Hours: Big Daddy Enterprises, XPin Pinball and the Big Daddy eBay store will be open as normal taking orders, customer support will be closed until Monday the 27th, closed again on New years Eve. Shipping is done for the day today (Friday) and will resume on Monday the 27th.

11/29/2021: Looks like one of the areas hit hard with the electronics "shortage" is of all things fuses. When I took a look to stock up on certain values, I was shocked to see prices at least doubled, in some cases 4X the prices. Due to this, I have temporarily taken fuse kits off the site and eBay until I get a handle on costs. Sorry for the inconvenience. This will also likely impact the costs of our power supplies in the future. Unfortunately, until I find the time you may just get an error when you try and order fuse kits.

11/26/2021: On the XPin Pinball Web Site, BLACK FRIDAY DISCOUNT! From Friday until midnight Monday, take 10% off on orders over $250 using the code BF2021, and free US shipping for orders over $100. For Big Daddy site customers and International customers, please email me a shopping cart and I will invoice.

11/25/2021: Happy Thanksgiving! A note about holiday hours. Big Daddy Enterprises has never closed for the holidays, only enjoying Thanksgiving day, Christmas Eve & Christmas day with family, but still shipping as fast as we can on the days before and after. This year will be no different except for one thing. Probably unknown to most, the USPS raised shipping prices for the holiday season on October 18th, and it ends on December 26th. Since this increase is costing me hundreds of $$ that I've not passed on to the buyer, most packages ordered the week of Christmas will not ship until the 27th unless Priority or Express is chosen as shipping.

11/08/2021: XPin Bally orange displays are back in stock

11/04/2021: Lots of board news:

7/29/2021: Kits have been selling faster than I can get them built up, between orders, building Big Daddy boards and life, I'm getting there. For those affected, I am sorry for the delay.

Regarding Covid 19: We are, as we have been, being very careful. You're Safe With Big Daddy Enterprises ©2021

6/02/2021: WOW! Where did May go? Beats me, what a super busy month!! The positive feedback we are getting about XPin & Big Daddy boards is very encouraging. And the sales are allowing us to stock more and more product. Back heavy in stock are the XP-DE5047 and XP-WMS8345 power supply boards, XP-WMS8000 Displays for Williams System 3-6 games, we finally got 3 more displays boards for Joust and sold 2 immediately. So far the increase is 20%-25% in volume, and Brett and I both appreciate it. And for the 2nd day in a row, I'm ending my day with less than 10 orders outstanding! I don't think that's happened in more than a year.

4/28/2021: I am very happy that my volume level is getting to a manageable number. It is not as good as I want it to be, but I am working to get there. Many still think I should ship everything in 1-2 days. What people don't realize I think, and I'm not ranting, is that shipping product is not all I do. The kits I put together I put together myself, sometimes with help but usually not. I put kits together based on my own research, I just don't go and copy someone else's kit and I try to improve on what's out there based on my own experience. I'm currently working on a kit for the Bally Sounds Plus/Vocalizer board used in Xenon and some Flash Gordon's after I noticed many boards have a burned up section on the Vocalizer board. I'm also getting new ribbon cables. For everything I do, I have to source the parts, and that can sometimes take up hours over days. Prices and availability are constantly changing, and when an old part goes out of production, the vendors jack their prices up to incredible levels, I've always assumed this is because there are service and military contracts out there and they will be forced to pay. Take a look at the voltage regulator LM323K. This was a dollar or less part that now is being sold for as much as $71 on some known electronics sites. When stuff like this happens it happens quickly and people stock up, hoard and price gouge. Sometimes it's then a challenge to design or find a change that while won't be original looking, will work fine. I stock up best I can to sell what I can in my lifetime, but what also makes it difficult are the counterfeits, or what is known as "black-topped" chips. These are old pulls that are painted and stamped to look like new, and the Chinese are getting very good at it! The clues are weak legs on the IC, and if you flip a chip over, the markings will be from all sorts of countries or other different stamped symbols. New chips will all be the same. I have invested a lot of money in test equipment, even designing my own for the CA3081 transistor array. Testing is time consuming. Fake/bad chips bite in to the profit margin. Often the weakened legs will buckle and break, even if they did test good. Used chips will obviously have a lesser life. This is what I found Rottendog is using, and I've tested over *1000* 6821s, 6800s, 6532s and 6502s in the past months, as well as that many other ICs. I have better things to do!

XPin is churning out product including new and better boards. Big Daddy Signature items are being handmade when I have time, and I am working with a contract manufacturer to increase inventory levels. And the copycats continue to frustrate, offering similar inferior products to our unique and researched products, and making them sound like they are better and innovative. The most recent being the solderless rectifier boards "designed" by Gulf Pinball and sold at K's Arcade, for $25 more than ours. And it is nothing but their old inferior board with added screw terminals. This isn't the first time. That being said, it looks like two of the copycats that word for word copied my kits are no longer in business. Good riddance. The number of emails I have received about crap parts I can't count on all my digits.

Ending this rambling post, I want to say things are GREAT! Despite some of the expected and very unpredicted changes that have happened in the past year, I am looking at the best year ever for Big Daddy, XPin Pinball, and life in general.

3/24/2021: I have to post again especially to the new customers, PLEASE stop asking for an order status, especially after 1-2 days. I do understand the concerns if your order is a week old, and all I can say is I'm doing the best I can. Amazon and same day delivery is not Big Daddy Enterprises. To give you an idea of what I receive, I got an order Friday at 4:20PM for 1 item, Priority option was not picked, and I received this note with it "PLEASE SHIP IT TODAY. I REALLY NEED IT". On Saturday afternoon for 1 item, again Priority was not picked, and Monday I received this: "Do I get a tracking number or a notification? Will this ship out Will I receive it this week? Any help is Appreciated!". And yesterday at noon, an order was placed and already this morning at 9AM they are telling me they haven't received a tracking number yet.

3/18/2021: Effective today, generic nuts/bolts/washer hardware, pinball specific hardware (leg bolts, leg levelers), balls, battery items, coils and sleeves, eproms, rubber rings, kits and flipper rubber, light bulbs, locks, pop bumper parts, tools and cleaning supplies except Novus, and more heavy and time consuming not very profitable parts are no longer available on the Big Daddy site for sale. These will still be available to local customers, and is only an indication of how busy I am. This is likely a long term but temporary change so that I can concentrate more on catching up, making kits, more XPin products, and more Big Daddy Signature items. We have so much in the works it's staggering!!

2/11/2021: Changes to the Board Blog above.

2/2/2021: Forgot to push this update.

01/28/2021: The craziness has not stopped. Crazy, but the sales are appreciated and are helping Big Daddy Enterprises and XPin bring new product to the market faster than anyone. January is looking like a 50% increase in both sales volume and dollars compared to an average month last year, which was crazy enough. There are still those few that email 2 days after placing an order asking for an update. Some are understandable after a week. I get it. I've often turned off my eBay store to catch up, but it doesn't help much since eBay is "easy". The USPS is still slow, weeks for Priority sometimes. And honestly people, STOP FILING CLAIMS!!!! It is nothing but a waste of my time and yours. Claims are especially aggravating when your package has shipped and didn't arrive when you wanted it to, and there's nothing I can do about it. Even though PayPal has the tracking info, I have to "update" it again, and when it shows delivered, 50% of the claimants doesn't close it, making me escalate it to PayPal and wait. The USPS and others post it all over the place: "ALERT: USPS IS EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME INCREASES AND LIMITED EMPLOYEE AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE." eBay gets it too: "High shipping volumes are causing some delays. Please allow extra time." To my understanding customers, the new and repeat ones, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

01/17/2021: Changes to the Board Blog above.

01/17/2021: January is continuing the craziness, but I'm getting ahead of it finally. Again I thank those with patience.

• A few things back in stock, Early Bally and mid 80s Williams flipper rebuild kits. Locks, leg levelers, and some XPin boards listed in the Board Blog above.
• If you have not heard the unexpected changes with Rottendog, please read my post on the Big Daddy Facebook page or on PinSide. Because of the lack of support from Rottendog, Big Daddy Enterprises will warranty any Rottendog boards for 6 months from date of purchase. This is a warranty against manufacturing defects and does not cover damages caused by your game.
  

12/24/2020: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Changes to the Board Blog above.

12/20/2020: December will be the busiest month on record and I thank you. To say it's crazy is an understatement, & I'm doing my best to get packages out.

• I know that everyone wants their stuff as soon as possible, but the number of emails I get asking for a status/update/tracking info/"just checking" are wasting too much of my time. About half of these questions are for orders already shipped (which meant tracking info was sent), or just a few days old. I'm not venting, at all, just please do a little thinking and check your PayPal account before you email. Realize that this is the busiest time of year, not only for me but the USPS. And know that the USPS is using a lot of temporary help. I myself am waiting on packages that were due last week and have had no activity scanned. Alos please please, stop thinking the USPS "phrase 2-3 day delivery" means from the time you placed your order. And if you really need to ask, please include the date you ordered, the name & email you ordered under, and the amount. I just now received an email from a name that is not in my open order list, and simply asked "What is the status of my order?". The next email asks "where this order".
• Many Rottendog boards are going out of stock quicker than I expected as people are stocking up. Please see "Board Blog" above for the latest info updated today.
• New revision of XPin's very nice solderless Bally/Stern rectifier board is now in stock and shipping!
  

12/07/2020: More updates today:

• Changes with boards are happening so much I've created a separate page for it, see "Board Blog" above.
• Again a reminder that Big Daddy will only be closed Christmas Day, but most packages ordered the week of Christmas will not ship until the 28th unless Priority or Express is chosen as shipping.
  

11/17/2020: More updates today:

• Sale price $11 off on XPin XP-WMS8345 Power Supply board for Williams System 3-11 & Data East pinball machines and certain Shuffle games. Best board on the market!
• With the Big Daddy/XPin merger and consolidation of inventory, we found some early production XP-DE5047s with GI extension cable installed, fully fused, tested and ready to go, offering at $125 shipped (US). Email me if you want one, this is not on the site. This is a superior product to the Rottendog DPS005 and a good savings (especially with free shipping) over the current version. Full 2 year warranty, only 5 available.
• An early note about holiday hours. Big Daddy Enterprises has never closed for the holidays, only enjoying Thanksgiving day, Christmas Eve & Christmas day with family, but still shipping as fast as we can on the days before and after. This year will be no different except for one thing. Probably unknown to most, the USPS raised shipping prices for the holiday season on October 18th, and it ends on December 27th. Since this increase is costing me hundreds of $$ that I've not passed on to the buyer, most packages ordered the week of Christmas will not ship until the 28th unless Priority or Express is chosen as shipping.
  

11/16/2020: November is roaring like a lion, people it is just crazy. I am doing my very best to keep up, I appreciate the 99% that are understanding. I am still getting in new product, and adding it to the site and eBay whenever possible. There have been very few days off taken (really none 100%). Here's what's new this month:

• Announcing a new XPin custom display configuration for Williams Grand Lizard! Looks great with green score displays and red credit/match.
• XPin XP-WMS8363 displays are now available in BLUE, the only one on the market!
• Big Daddy Signature products New C11998-1 24 Volt Relay board for Bally/Williams System 11 pinball machines and New Keypad for Bally 6803 pinball machines.
• XPin's better Data East power supply XP-DE5047 has replaced the discontinued Rottendog DPS005. A GI extension cable is available.
• XPin's replacement displays for Williams Early Production F-14 Tomcat and Williams Millionaire are now in stock, the only ones in stock and available on the market.
  

10/29/2020: The new line of XPin XP-WMS8363 displays are now available! These are the displays for Williams System 6A, 7 and 9 games including support for both types of displays used in Comet and available in COLORS! White is available with gels of many colors for customization.

 

10/18/2020: October is following the trend of keeping me very busy. Here's all that's going on: We've purchased a significant amount of Rottendog boards that are no longer going to be made and others are not making. If you have not heard, Big Daddy is now a co-owner of XPIN Pinball, and adding product to the site and eBay as fast as possible. Our own line of Big Daddy Signature products is also coming along, albeit slowly. BPS018 rectifier boards are back in stock, a surprise. If you are considering buying boards and wondering about stock levels, drop me an email or take a look at what the unprepared competitors are already out of stock. In general, you are safe with power supplies and display boards, XPIN has all the power supplies and all the displays and more of them, in more colors. And I dare say better. Displays for High Speed, Police Force, Taxi, Harley, 6803 games, and early Bally displays in all colors! Where there will be some holes are MPU boards and some driver boards. Stock up before prices go up! We have been planning these market changes for a *year*, and have over 2000 boards IN STOCK and ready to ship!

9/30/2020: Wow, didn't think it would happen but beat August as the best month ever since opening in 2005.

8/31/2020: Best month on record since opening in 2005! Thanks guys.

7/13/2020: Business has been so nuts, I forgot to send a June update (below). It's been a coupla long months with 12-16 hour days and we're doing the best to catch up, I think I'll see light here in the next few days after the wife and I build up about 120 kits, that's the plan. Again thank you customer, June 2020 was the #4th best June I've had in 15 years!

Note to International customers, packages are showing up in months, not weeks as normal. I have tracked many and glad to see they do arrive, but it's going to take patience. You have 180 days of PayPal protection, please save me the hassle and do not file a claim. The USPS will tell me nothing except things are being held up in customs due to COVID 19. I myself waited over 2.5 months for a stock order of Inkochinito's Bridge Boards, which are finally in stock! Other packages seem quick so there's no reasoning.

I have received stock of bare PC Boards and am in the process of building my new 6803 keypad as well as other new boards to be announced. Some of them are on the bench and should be available very soon.

06/22/2020: Rottendog DIS021s (Six digit LED displays for Bally/Stern games) are back in stock.

06/15/2020: Flipper rebuild kits for Gottlieb games 12/1977 to 4/1987 and Bally flipper rebuild kits 1980-1988 are back in stock.

Also back in stock are many XPIN products, soon with lower prices!

Thank you for the best May on record!

It's is obvious the COVID-19 is keeping people at home and finding time to work on their machines. It has been a long time since I've been this busy and I'm keeping up best I can, thank you for all the orders. We are being as careful as possible and making sure you're safe too. Masks, gloves, hand sanitizer is now a part of my daily life. Fortunately, the majority of my current inventory and packing supplies were received well before the pandemic. We are well stocked and shipping daily.

Thank you for the best April sales in years!

 

3/26/2020: Gottlieb Transistor Kits and Gottlieb Pop Bumper Driver Board Connector Kits back in stock.

3/25/2020: New and updated Data East Flipper rebuild kits. Williams 1967-1979 flipper rebuild kits back in stock.

 

2/11/2020: Thank you for all the birthday wishes!

1/13/2020: Survived with some power blips and 90 minutes of power outage. The consuming time was keeping warm, keeping the ice clear and just doing those thigns you do during winter. A bit behind but should be caught up today and tomorrow.

1/10/2020: WEEKEND ALERT!!! Please be aware that we are forecasted to receive a significant amount of snow preceded by a half inch of ice. Communications could be affected as we are slightly outside the city limits and do not receive top priority.

1/10/2020: Out of stock on the MPU327 but have more arriving in about a week. Also are out of stock of the 18,000 axial cap that is found in Williams power supply rebuild kits. Stock is expected in early February, and because of the 25% Chinese tariff, some kit prices will increase.

Happy New Year! !
Now go play some pinball and fix something!

1/1/2020: Thanks to all my customers for making 2019 a great year. New things will be coming for 2020 including more parts, more supplies, new parts and new kits. I've also taken down the minimum $30 order and lowered shipping costs.

Merry Christmas to all my friends & customers!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Play some pinball!

11/27/2019: Please note that unlike many companies, we will NOT be closed for the holidays, but understand there is obviously no mail on Thursday. We will be eating turkey with friends & family and taking it easy, but we will not shut down. As always, Priority & eBay orders will be handled first, and I will be packing and mailing all weekend.

Stock alerts: Getting low on Pascal's Gottlieb System 1 board, only a few DIS021s in stock and none due for "2 months", usually meaning 3. *WELL* stocked on all other boards!!!

11/26/2019: It has been a long November, and I want to thank everyone for the well wishes while I recover from my heart attack. I will likely never be the same, but 99% of the time I feel totally fine. Just slowing it down, not lifting so much, and not letting the stress givers affect me. Unfortunately there are a few that only care about their order, saving a few bucks, and instant gratification. Those lost customers will not be missed.

 

 

10/31/2019: Happy Halloweenie everyone! Glad to report I seem to be back to "normal". Whatever that is.

10/24/2019: End of Day #2 catching up, Thanks for your patience, most orders should all be out by end of day tomorrow.

10/22/2019: Just wanted to make my customers aware that on Sunday around noon, I suffered a massive heart attack in the form commonly called a widow maker. Had it not been for some quick attention, fast driving, and lucky chain of events that had me in the ER when I flat-lined, I would not be here. I am very fortunate. While orders may got out a bit later than normal as I take things slow and not build up stress, know in no way am I down and out. Thank you for your patience and business!

10/16/2019: Rottendog's MPU004 are back in stock!!!

I have one (1) Gottlieb System 1 MPU to Driver board harness in stock.

I am out of stock of the Flippp! System 1/80 sound board and expect to have stock in about 2 weeks. Getting low on MPU boards!

And no.... No word on the "2019" Mr. Pinball Price guide, as we close in on 2020...

 

 

9/27/2019: September has been a busy month and I appreciate the patience most customers have given me. Rottendog's BPS022s are back in stock.
New Sega/Stern Whitestar MPU/Audio board coming!!!

9/17/2019: As of today, about 75% of all orders received while on vacation have been sent. Note: BPS022 is out of stock for at least a week, but I have two returns I need to check and will have available if I can find the time.

9/14/2019: Back in business. Had a great time off, not done enough. Orders will go out in the following order: eBay, Priority, then as received. Being gone a week always will get me backlogged, the price I pay. Please be patient and don't email me asking for a status.

9/6/2019: Big Daddy will be closed next week 9/9 through 9/13 with plans to work both this weekend and next catching up. I will ship all orders possible before we head out.

9/5/2019: Out of Rottendog's MPU004 and will not have stock for about a month.

 

 

8/30/2019: We strive to ship as fast as possible, but people often fail to consider Sunday's and holidays. I nearly always mail packages every day, but a heads up that Monday is a holiday. Anything ordered after noon today, with the exception of Priority orders, may not be out until Tuesday. Have a happy and safe Labor day! Cook some ribs and play some pinball.

Low stock alert on Rottendog MPU004, only a few in stock and Rottendog is out.

8/7/2019: Rottendog's MPU327s have shipped and are due next Monday, so I have opened them up for orders today.

 

 

7/31/2019: First off, thanks for a great July, and June! Normally these are my slow months, but happy to report the best June & July since I've been in business! Please note I am out of stock of Rottendog's MPU327, stock probably not for at least a week.

7/20/2019: Due to availability, prices on the .100 housings in 23, 25 and 28 pin have gone up in price, including the kits the use them.

7/5/2019: Brand new board from Rottendog, Williams Auxiliary Power supply board APS011 for System 11B/C games, in stock and shipping today.

7/4/2019: Happy July 4th everyone!

 

 

6/21/2019: I received notice that (5) Rottendog DIS021s are on their way, due Thursday of next week. Since many have asked, I have opened these up for order.

6/18/2019: Rottendog MPU004s are back in stock.

6/11/2019: Rottendog SDB004 and GDB080 will be in stock Thursday, MPU004s early next week, no word on DIS021s.

6/8/2019: Temporarily out of Rottendog boards MPU004, SDB004, DIS021 and GDB080. Some stock will be arriving mid week, I'm unsure at this point what I'm receiving. Very busy making custom configurations for customers who bought the new MPU9211 and want it plug and play, I appreciate the patience.

We have yet another US Postal rate change coming June 23rd, they are changing to dimensional weight shipping. It's unknown if this a good thing or a bad thing, but come on really, are they doing it to help me save money? NOPE! I envision this charges more for light items that take up much space, but what the cutoff is only time will tell. I have not raised shipping rates in some time, and I hope to not start now.

 

 

5/31/2019: What a nice way to end the month, Rottendog's MPU9211 is in stock and mailing today. This is an improved version with better sound/speech balancing.

5/6/2019: Rottendog DIS021s are back in stock 5/7 and now taking orders.

PLEASE NOTE: Starting 5/7/2019, greedy PayPal will be keeping 100% of the fees they charge when I refund. If you cancel an order due to your mistake or changing your mind, these fees will be backed out of your refund!!

 

 

4/30/2019: New in stock Rottendog's DMD power supply WSPS01 for Sega/Stern Whitestar games.

4/3/2019: With no warning, Pascal's System 1 All-In-One boards arrived today a week early!

 

 

3/25/2019: We are back from the Texas Pinball festival and are catching up on orders. As always, I email the tracking number when sent, so please don't email me asking for an update or tracking number. All orders were sent before leaving last Wednesday around noon and looking at the open orders should be caught up in a few days. I will answer emails later in the day. Todd

3/19/2019: Big Daddy is taking a break and heading towards Texas for the best show in the US, the Texas Pinball Festival! As always, I will try to get all orders out before I leave. As of today noon, all orders have shipped. We will be closed March 20th to the 24th, resuming shipping on Monday. Priority and Express orders will be processed first, then older orders as they came in.

3/17/2019: Rottendog DIS021s are out of stock.

 

 

2/28/2019: Thanks to my customers for a pretty decent February. BPS022s and just *TWO* DIS021s back in stock.

2/20/2019: Pascal's Flippp! System 1 MPU boards are back in stock.

2/18/2019: Rottendog BPS018, DPS005, MPU089 and MPU004s are back in stock.

2/12/2019: Many requests for Pascal's Flippp! System 1 MPU boards, and they are on the way. Stock alerts: Out of stock and waiting on an ETA for Rottendog BPS018, DPS005, MPU089, and DIS021s. Only one MPU004 left (update, sold today).

 

 

1/28/2019: The new and improved Bally/ Williams WAV095 Williams Audio Visual board is now in stock. All Pre-orders have shipped.

1/24/2019: While not used much, UPS and FedEx rates recently went up 5%. The US Postal service, which is used for most of my shipments, is raising all rates January 27th. The biggest changes are that First Class pricing will change from a flat rate per ounce to zone-based pricing per ounce. This means the farther you are away from me, the more it costs. They also are making it as confusing as possible by grouping the costs by weight ranges, so packages weighing 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and 13-16 will all cost the same in those ranges, but will be more depending on how many zones away you are. Sigh. Hopefully being in the Midwest means it will average out, but I have yet to see what impact it makes in the real world. For small packages, at a minimum, no change. At a maximum, 60 cents more. USPS Priority Mail increases an average of 6%, but how I ship most commonly looks to be about 10%. International is again hit hard with Canada seemingly going up at least $2 per package, other countries it's just simply too complicated to tell. In a nutshell, I'll be raising rates to cover the increases, in past years I have not and I will not increase all options, but I'll have to see when the rates actually hit.

STOCK ALERT! Please note, Rottendog is having supply issues and it affects the following: BPS018 (already out of stock), MPU004, DPS005 (1 left), PBB080, MPU089, and WDB089's. I have fair stock of these except noted but things change daily. They are also slow in filling MPU9211 orders, but they are coming in, more MPU9211s were sent today, and that the other boards will be in Rottendog's possession for testing in the next 7-10 days.

 

1/16/2019: Temporarily out of stock of Pascal's Flippp! System 1 MPU boards. More coming but will be weeks. The next batch of the Rottendog MPU9211 System 9-11B MPU Board are being sent Monday. Mr Pinball price guides are due by end of week weather pending.

1/13/2019: Temporarily out of stock of the 2018 Mr. Pinball Price Guide

1/12/2019: ATTENTION CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THE BALLY/STERN HIGH VOLTAGE REPAIR KIT! It was discovered that the sub I was providing for VR1, originally a 1N5275, was incorrect, I was shipped the wrong product a 100V diode instead of a 140V diode, resulting in not being able to adjust to the proper voltage although good displays might still work. Until I get supply, kits will come without. Past customer that need the part please email me.

1/8/2019: Coming soon from Rottendog, new DMD power supply WSPS01 for Sega/Stern Whitestar games, and after repeated requests, a new and improved Bally/ Williams WAV095 Williams Audio Visual board. Taking preorders and will have stock soon!

1/6/2019: Rottendog BPS022s back in stock. AS-2518-18 power supply kits built up and back in stock.

1/5/2019: Shipping the MPU9211s as fast as I can. All stock I received are spoken for but if I don't receive payments from some people there may be some spots opening up.

1/4/2019: The first larger batch of the Rottendog MPU9211 System 9-11B MPU Boards are in stock and I will be contacting people in order that paid deposits or expressed interest.

 

 

12/26/2018: Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Stock note, TZ Prox boards sold out quickly, and I do not have an ETA for more.

12/20/2018: It's hard to believe that Christmas is five days away and the end of the year soon after. Orders have been heavy and I am making extra mail runs and keeping up best I can, my apologies if your order doesn't make it by Christmas day. As typical, we will *not* be closing for the holiday, only taking off Christmas day to do what we always do, eat, drink and be merry and play pinball!

Stock alerts: I have only (1) Pascal's Flippp! System 1 MPU board and (1) Pascal's System 1 All-In-One board. The next batch of the Rottendog MPU9211 System 9-11B MPU Board are being tested this week and I should receive my allotment at the end of next week, but it is not confirmed how many I will receive, not enough to fill all preorders. The good news is that the next batch should soon follow. Also Rottendog's BPS018 and DPS005 are low on stock in hand and there has been no update from the below. Lastly, PinPoint's Twilight Zone Proximity board will be back in stock soon, but be aware that I will only receive four.

12/05/2018: December is coming in like a lion, and trying my best to keep up. About the Minimum Order: Even though the people this effects won't be the ones reading this, I have changed my tactic of charging $22,000 for shipping because PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY PAYING IT! I had security measures in place with PayPal that it would reject payments over $10K, but 3 of them went through in the past month. Not only does this look bad on my taxes and cause me more work, it has caused a red mark for using PayPal's Working Capital Loans, very frustrating. Effective today, I've lowered the shipping costs to $30 for USA orders and $75 for International. I now expect complaints about high shipping on small products and will *not* be refunding shipping costs.

12/05/18: Stock alerts. Pascal's Flippp! MPU boards are selling well and I am already low on stock. The 2nd batch of Rottendog MPU9211 System 9-11B MPU Board are now due the 2nd week, but knowing how things are you might as well say the 3rd or 4th week before I have them in hand, and it is unknown how many I will be receiving. I have deposits for 18 of them. Also note that Rottendog has warned of delays on the BPS018 and DPS005, I currently have no other information and have good stock of the BPS018 and fair stock on DPS005, I will update as things change.

 

 

11/25/2018: PLEASE NOTE!!!!, my area is under a Blizzard Warning, effective until 9PM. Power has blipped a few times and Internet went out for 10 minutes. Being as there's 9 more hours of snow in the forecast, up to a foot with some predictions, packages may not go out tomorrow though I will try my best.

11/21/2018: Happy Thanksgiving from Big Daddy Enterprises! As typical, we will *not* be closing for the holiday, but as of 11AM today all orders that could be shipped are on their way and we will resume shipping Friday morning. Travel safe and play some pinball!

11/13/2018: Rottendog DMD089 display driver board back in stock. Pascal's Flippp! MPU boards back in stock. Bally MPU board connector kits, Lamp board connector kits, Solenoid driver board connector kits, Solenoid driver regulator caps kits, and Williams System 3-6 Interconnect kits all stocked up!

11/05/2018: Say It Again boards back in stock!!

11/04/2018: Due to a miscount, I have a few of Pascal's Flippp! MPU boards left in stock that I marked out of stock last week. More are coming but will likely be weeks.

 

 

10/17/2018: Since there is much interest, I have opened up preorders again for the next batch of MPU9211s and lowered the deposit to just $100. Please order knowing you may not receive it for a month or more. I also *may* have a few spare/repaired System 9 and 11 boards available, one has already been purchased, the others I am waiting for confirmation with payment, and have a few I need to test. If you are interested, please contact me direct.

10/17/2018: All of the new Rottendog MPU9211 System 9-11B MPU Board are spoken for. Next batch will be weeks of not a month out.

10/15/2018: The new Rottendog MPU9211 System 9-11B MPU Board is being tested on site here at Big Daddy Enterprises and we will have stock very soon, however that stock will be limited so I am taking preorders.

10/11/2018: Rottendog DIS200 in RED back in stock. The 2018 issue of the Mr. Pinball Price guide has shipped and I expect them Monday. You can pre-order by <Clicking Here> . I also have one near new copy of the 2016 issue available.

 

9/28/2018: Out of Stock of the Rottendog DIS200 in RED. Hopefully will have stock in about a week.

9/26/2018: WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards have been selling like hotcakes, but I still have 8 in stock. I have one (1) Bally -32 sound card rebuilt and tested for the games Lost World, Playboy, Six Million Dollar Man, Star Trek, Supersonic & Voltan.

9/7/2018: According to UPS, my order is in town so I will have stock of WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards and Rottendog WDP3211A power supply boards by Monday or earlier. A few words on CAPACITORS! Due to the imposed tariffs on items imported from China, many of the special order caps that we carry will increase in cost by 25%. Current stock and caps made in Taiwan are not affected, but the majority stocked here are made in China.

9/4/2018: Stock of Rottendog's popular WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards and Rottendog WDP3211A power supply boards are on the way and due Monday 9/10, barring any problems caused by Hurricane Gordon.

 

8/14/2018: I was given short notice on Rottendog's vacation, and am now out of stock of the popular Rottendog WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards and will not have stock until September, and only have a few Rottendog WDP3211A power supply boards, again no stock until September. Other boards are well stocked and should not be a problem.

8/13/2018: As I'd guessed, now out of stock of the Rottendog System 11A/B MPU boards

8/12/2018: After a bit of checking, it was apparent that Big Daddy Enterprises had the last of the Rottendog System 11A/B MPU boards in the US, and people starting snatching them up, I am now down to one left.

8/05/2018: Happy Sunday!

8/03/2018: Price reduction and increases today on a few Rottendog boards. The Rottendog BPS054 power supply board is now a little cheaper, the Rottendog System 11 MPU board of both varieties has increased. Rottendog is revising this board and I have 5 left in stock as of today. It may be a month or two or more until the new ones arrive, price has not been determined, it could be cheaper or more expensive.

 

7/31/2018: Rottendog WDP011C boards back in stock. Looking forward to a better August, happy summer folks!

7/20/2018: Out of Rottendog WDP011C boards. Please note my mail route has changed to an earlier pickup time, usually by 11 but sometimes as early as 9:30. This impacts getting out orders same day. Express orders will still be taken to the PO when possible.

7/04/2018: Happy July 4th! Relax, cook some good BBQ and play some pinball, as we will be doing!

7/01/2018: May & June were such busy months, I didn't have time to make many changes or add new product. Things are finally getting back to normal and we'll see some changes soon! Some new boards, new kits, new parts.

 

5/30/2018: Found one Rottendog BPS022 while organizing yesterday.

5/29/2018: Out of Rottendog DMD089 boards but due Thursday so not marking out of stock.

5/28/2018: Happy Memorial Day. Beside having a BBQ today, give thanks to those that protect our great country. We are in recovery mode from Pinapalooza VII and will be cranking orders out and getting caught up this week. eBay store is turned back on and we have no plans to leave town for awhile. BPS022 is out of stock due Thursday.

5/9/2018: The FLIPPP! PI-FX/1 Gottlieb System 1 Sound boards are now back in stock!

5/3/2018: Now carrying Bally Flipper Rebuild Kit - 1975 to 1980 and a lower price on the other Bally kit effective today.

 

4/26/2018: Now carrying Gottlieb flipper rebuild kits for earlier games. Work in progress for a few days as I confirm parts lists and update pictures. System 1 kits are available to order today.

4/23/2018: PinPoint's Twilight Zone Proximity board back in stock.

4/15/2018: Pascal's Flippp! boards are back in stock, however I did not receive any of the PI-FX/1 sound boards for early System 1 games. Due to increases in costs and other fees, my price has increased as well. Rottendog board stock will be arriving early this week and will see BPS022s and MPU327s. BUX85 replacements for the 2N3584 in Bally/Stern high voltage kits are due Wednesday. White Bally drop targets are back in stock, and I will soon be selling Gottlieb flipper rebuild kits. The first person to email me with the proper correct answer to "Does anybody really know what time it is?" will get a free gift with their next order. Congrats S. Jones!

4/11/2018: Stock alerts: Out of stock of PinPoint's Twilight Zone Proximity board, but have some coming. No word on when I'm getting Rottendog stock, will update and change stock status when I know. The pinball business booming here and with others, RD has been struggling to keep up with demand.

GOOD news! I finally have shipment confirmation of Pascal's Flippp! boards, and should have stock in about a week to 10 days.

Many people have requested new kits and asked when I'll have certain stock of old kits back, trust me I'm trying to find the time, and the parts in some cases. Being a one man show and also having a life outside pinball, I am simply not able to find the time. Trust me there is a lot in the works.

 

3/24/2018: While organizing, I found (1) NOS glass for Gottlieb System 1/80 games. Out of stock on #67 flasher bulbs, hasn't been a steady seller but if you need, let me know. Getting low on some Rottendog boards such as MPU004, DIS021 and DPS005s.

3/16/2018: Rottendog BPS018 power supply boards are back in stock. Apparently the next thing that's all of a sudden hard to get is the 2N3584 used on the Bally/Stern Solenoid driver board in the high voltage section, and I am out of stock as I look for more.

3/03/2018: As of noon today I am working on only (1) open order, finding the time to create more kits and work on my own games. Soon to be listed will be a cap kit for early Stern SB-100 sound boards.

 

2/19/2018: As of 3:30PM today there were ZERO outstanding orders! Please note the Rottendog BPS018 power supply boards are out of stock not due until the end of the month.

2/17/2018: As of noon today there were ZERO outstanding orders! Please note the Rottendog WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards are back in stock Tuesday.

2/9/2018: Gaining ground and getting ahead of orders these days, thanks to most for their patience. Should be even more caught up this weekend. Please note now out of stock Rottendog WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards but will have Rottendog BPS022 Bally Solenoid Driver boards and Rottendog WDP3211A power supply boards on Tuesday.

2/6/2018: Effective today Free Shipping will apply to orders over $400, this is for US orders. International orders are discounted over $400. Please note out of stock on the Rottendog BPS022 Bally Solenoid Driver boards and low on the Rottendog WDB089 WPC 89 Driver boards.

Happy New Year! Thank you customers for making 2017 the best year ever!

PLEASE READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

To maintain my sanity, get caught up on backorders, add new product, fix some of my own games, and do a long list of personal items I've neglected, I will be only selling boards and kits and a handful of other items. This will be starting "soon" and possibly go on for weeks.

1/28/2018: I have a handful of Rottendog MPU327 MPU/Driver boards but please note they are NO longer supporting System 7 games such as Black Knight.

1/16/2018: New Sound Board Capacitor Repair Kit for Williams System 11A-C pinball machines listed today, thanks for a few customer's input. As work is being done to improve the web site, this is currently only available on eBay. Again the Rottendog WDP3211A power supply out of stock. Expected late January.

1/10/2018: I realized that I set aside two Rottendog WDP3211A power supply boards for my own projects that I won't get to soon, so until those sell I have two in stock. I am also working on a stack of original boards to rebuild and will have them available in the Used Williams Boards section. Initially I will have the System 3-6 ones then 7-11A. Please note as of today, Rottendog is *not* supporting System 7 games on their MPU327 and I have temporarily halted selling them as I find the time to test what I have in stock. Please contact me if you have questions or input.

1/5/2018: Please note that it just came to light that version 3 of the MPU327 that fixes reported issues mainly with Black Knight still has issues on some games. Another fix is in the works. Since I do not get reports of what games these are being used in, it's tough to know a percentage. 

1/3/2018: Rottendog WDP3211A power supply out of stock. Expected late January.

1/1/2018: Please note: Low stock alert on the Rottendog WDP3211A power supply and a 3-4 week timeline for getting more. As of today I have two (2) in stock. Based on sales history I'll be out of stock by the end of this week.

December is again proving to be one of the busiest months of the year. Please keep that in mind when you are ordering and pick Priority when checking out if you need something quick!! If you don't, please don't ask to get to the head of the line. In my world, getting an email that says "Please ship ASAP" or any of a million variants is very frustrating, so just please... just don't! Read the FAQs on shipping please.

12/27/2017: The USPS is increasing postage, again, effective Jan 21st. Out of the approximately 180 price changes, there are a mere 5 decreases with a maximum savings of 30 cents, while the rest are increases up to $2.46. Based on how I usually ship, I will be increasing US shipping costs by a buck. International rates are not affected and will not be increased. To compensate for the lag, I will be raising the rates around Jan 15th.

12/21/2017: As of end of business today, happy to report that there's only a handful of orders to process.

12/15/2017: Please note our Holiday Schedule: Like prior years, we like to stay home for the holidays, and thus don't do a hard shut down like some companies. We will be shipping most every day except the actual Christmas and New Years Eve/Day. They are postal holidays anyway. As of today, there's only a dozen orders to ship and most of those will go tomorrow.

11/22/2017: Happy Thanksgiving from Big Daddy Enterpises to you! Play some pinball, eat, drink, relax and have fun. Please note that we will NOT be closing for the holiday, but will only be shipping Priority, Express, eBay and "easy" orders as I simply feel like it. As of 2PM today most orders received up until Monday, have shipped but as usual there's a few stragglers.

11/22/2017: Wow, too busy to take the time to put updates up, but there's lots going on in the background. New Williams System 6-7 (Type 2) sound board kit in stock as well as some rebuilt Williams Type 2 sound boards available, one Gottlieb System 1 harness is in stock, New Bally -35 MPU board for those that like the original looks, PinPoint Solenoid Expander boards back in stock.

9/23/2017: After more than 7 months, Rottendog DIS240 in Blue is back in stock!

9/8/2017: Please be aware that Rottendog's location is in Florida and hurricane Irma *will* affect obtaining future inventory!! * Until it passes it's unknown how much of an impact this will be, I will as always warn of low or out of stock situations. (* It didn't really much)

9/1/2017: We are closed for the Labor Day weekend and will resume mailing on Tuesday.

8/22/2017:

• Rottendog has finally fixed the MPU327 problem and all boards in stock are the new version.
• My broken bones are healing nicely and I'm back up to speed with few exceptions.
• I will soon have 2 or 3 nicely repaired original System 11 MPU boards for High Speed and others available in the Used Williams Boards section.
  
  

7/28/2017:

• Thanks to those asking about my foot and sending good wishes, I am having no problems getting around, just takes longer. EVERYTHING takes longer!
• Stock alert: Rottendog DMD004s, SDB004s and DIS326s are back in stock.
• I recently purchased 20+ boxes full of misc boards from two operators and am sorting through them, but notably have Bally -32 and -50 Sound boards back in stock.
• 
  
  7/18/2017: Good weather and having a good brace, I'm able to stay up to date on orders, thanks to those that had patience. The 2nd x-ray showed I should not need surgery and it is healing, but I'm still a peg-leg for 2 more weeks which makes my whole process slow.

7/12/2017: Well it sucks getting older! This happened Saturday and I am extremely limited on how I can move around. Ironically, and fortunately my wife just went through the same thing, even on the same foot, so we have the equipment to get around and knowledge to hopefully heal properly. It's possible I might have to have surgery, but for a week I cannot put any weight on it. You can imagine this puts a cramp on how fast I can pull, pack and ship items, and as my wife is a corporate worker, she can only help before and after she's at work. For now, eBay sales are turned off, and there may be some delays shipping some items if I have to build up kits or test boards. Patience while I heal is appreciated.

6/30/2017: Please be aware of the calender, July 4th is on a Tuesday this year (no mail service), and while the average outstanding order is less than 2 days old, I will not get all orders out before Monday as we are taking a few days off to travel and spend time with family, leaving today around noon. Any Priority and Express orders received have been filled. Enjoy your 4th and stay safe!

With the changes, orders are less complicated and going out quicker. I hope that by the end of the month I'll have flipper rebuild kits, more XPIN products and more Kahr Circuit products added to the site. Also after a very long wait, Rottendog DIS240 displays in Blue are back in stock.

I have one MPU089 coming in about a week, email me to reserve it. More coming but will be a few weeks.

New boards from Kahr circuits are on the site! Reset boards added today, the rest as time allows.

4/14/2016: Wow, the 2016 Mr. Pinball price guide is already sold out and they are also on backorder from the printer. I don't even have a copy for myself! Also Rottendogs's MPU327 has been selling like hotcakes and I have just one in stock today, more are a week out. I'm also now out of stock of the MPU089s and again should have stock in a week. All this and I've not had a chance to change prices.

4/6/2016: If you've ever talked to me in person or in email about how business has increased over the years, you'll understand why I'm making some changes. Two years ago I put in place a $30 minimum order and though the way I had to implement it was crude, it did work. For awhile. The number of orders per day dropped slightly, and I spent too much time answering why shipping was $22,000. After a short period of time I had a new problem, the daily and per order volume nearly doubled. Great problem to be in some would say, but increased volume of any kind doesn't help process orders out faster, and it doesn't give me time to add new items to the site. Some items I've literally had for a decade.

The answer isn't one anyone wants to hear: I'm raising prices and increasing the minimum quantities on small items. With some companies copying my kits and in some cases selling for more than double, I'll still be price competitive. Some of those same companies charge 9 cents for a diode in a 50 pack where I charge 5 cents for one. In some cases I won't be the place to shop, but I hope everyone understands that I have to make it worth my time, and I want to get your order out as fast as possible. A $45 two page order that takes an hour or more to fill because each line item is a 50 cent (10) pack of resistors, diodes or crimp ends is not what I want to spend my time on. This change will be gradual and won't affect all products, the obvious and immediate ones are the small & cheap. Resistors, fuses, crimp ends, diodes, transistors, etc. will be only sold in 5 and 10 packs, sometimes 25. These changes will also let me re-evaluate prices, and I suspect some packs will be cheaper than before. I will also use this opportunity to update the site and add new products. Personally, I'm looking forward to the change. I put in way too many 12 hour days, and I never seem to have time to work on my own games.
As always, I thank you for your business.

3/23/2016: The 2016 edition of the Mr. Pinball Price Guide is in stock tomorrow, you may preorder today but please note the minimum $30 order. If guide is all you need email me. The few copies of the 2015 edition have been discounted, and I have a very good copy of the 2007 edition in stock.

3/21/2016: Back from the Texas Pinball Festival which was as great as always. Glad to see all that I did, sorry to miss some I wanted to spend time with, and glad to miss those select few too! Purchased some new stock which will be available in the site shortly. Back to shipping early in the morning and as always, I will send an email and update your order with tracking when I've shipped. Rottendog MPU011A Williams System 11 A/B MPU boards back in stock!

3/16/2016: We are closed for vacation. Mailing orders will resume Monday the 21st.

3/14/2016: Please note Big Daddy Enterprises will be closed for a short vacation from March 17th through the 20th, sending as many packages as we can before we leave and starting back once again on Monday the 21st.

2/6/2016: Stock alert: I have one and only one Rottendog MPU011A Williams System 11 A/B MPU boards in stock. Rottendog has no estimate, and I am estimating months out. Only (2) MPU089 MPU boards and (1) MPU004 Data East MPU boards left in stock. MPU004s are due next week.

1/11/2016: PLEASE NOTE!!! The US Postal service is raising rates AGAIN and it's going to impact overseas orders substantially. Rates in the US are going up 9% to 16%, but they are whitewashing it by stating such increases and in the small print saying they are getting rid of commercial based pricing. That's a 28% increase folks! International up a whopping 10% to 22%. The average increase on a 1 pound package is $5 and on 4 pounds $12. In that light I will be raising rates to cover my costs. You will see this increase early this week before rates officially go in to affect as I won't be able to ship everything before they do. Sorry

1/11/2016: Over the weekend I added a few dozen new items including mostly caps, some new heat sinks and a repair kit for Williams System 3-6 sounds boards.

A 1 pound package to Canada is doubled. If you are an International customer, unfortunately my rates will have to increase in accordance. These rates go in to affect January 27th, and due to the simple fact I must have time to pack and ship, all my rates will be going up on the morning of Friday the 25th.

Bally -18 Power Supply boards BPS018 (also good for Stern TA-100) are back in stock!

The new year is bringing a lot of changes to Big Daddy with tons of new product offerings.

The new US postal rates have affected mostly International shipping. I've temporarily raised the rates by a rough guess until I can really figure it out, the Shipping Info page does not reflect this. Much of it was raised by a whopping 25% or more, while US rates were lowered by pennies in some cases, raised by 50 cents elsewhere. In the end it's more. I'm not sure why the drastic increase, I love my International customers and hate to see this taxed upon them. For example, what used to cost $13.25 now costs $16.95. What was $1.75 is now $3.00. In addition to those actual costs there's the 3% charged by PayPal. Please be aware that I may have to invoice for additional postage when it goes above what my site charges.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Big Daddy Enterprises! Thanks to all my customers for making this the best year ever.

I have ONE $25.00 gift card to Ace Hardware that I will award to the first customer ordering over $250 worth of merchandise, not including shipping. RGP members: please email me after ordering for your special rebate.

Wow! Welcome to October! I can't tell you how glad I am to be back in the Midwest, and I apprecaite all your patience and support as I juggle with a stange schedule caused by unpacking, new projects and orders. It will be awhile before I start adding a lot of product & kits to the site, but I do want to let you know I'm working on it. Also today I'm stocking the new Alltek Aux Lamp/LED driver board.

We are now closed and plan to start shipping again on the 26th. All orders to date have been shipped.

The packing is going along fairly well, and most orders have been mailed. I do expect by Thursday or Friday that I'll be loading the inventory in to a crate and on to a trailer, and thus all shipping will stop until I reach Missouri. I've done this before, so I don't expect a lengthy down time, but ya can't pack & ship while you're driving! And I am taking a day off at Ma & Pa's

Got a bit overwhelmed with orders last week and I thank you for your business. All orders placed to date have been shipped. Tomorrow is the first day the movers arrive to pack, I will try to fill all orders if possible, but certain things such as rubber kits I won't be able to spend the time on immediately. I don't have time to update each section of the site, but please note I'm out of Bally P/S transformers.
