TB pinball enthusiasts?

[BadJazz]

Can't wait to see & play that! Unless it's a turd (unlikely), they're gonna sell a whole bunch of those.

Check youtube. There's a lot of footage and rule discussion on there. Looks good to me.

The first pinball machine I ever played was a Williams electromechanical called Dew-Wa-Ditty. Ever since that day I've always preferred Williams games. I know the later Bally games were made by Williams but I still prefer the Williams-branded games. They just have something the other brands are missing.

So many good pins out there, I still do prefer Williams as well..

I was wondering aloud if a band I really like was every going to get a pinball. I mean, I like AC/DC, admire Aerosmith, and have no interest in the other bands that have pinballs. Turns out someone at Stern bugged the bar and heard me. Look at what just came out:

Yo that Zeppelin pin looks killer! And it's a Invalid Link Removed design...

 

[BadJazz]

Well it's good fun...

So Blairally finally got a Zep. My first game, along with the sign I bought to hang above it:

I wish I could find a YouTube clip of the Honeymooners when Ralph makes a pinball bet.

Well this took almost an hour:

Oh damn, as of one hour ago one of my local bars now has two out of the three Elvira machines!

New Mandalorian at blairally. Quite fun, albeit rather clunky. Should get better with time.

 

[BadJazz]

This took a minute...

This also took a minute.

...aaand they did it! As of a couple days ago they have ALL THREE Elvira machines! I haven't gotten a chance to go by since they did it; might go tonight.

I am a little sorry that they had to lose Rick and Morty to do it, though.

Don't know if anyone's interested, but the Museum of Pinball has closed due to Covid and is selling off about 1,700 machines.

That is so sad to see it close. I like the one in Alameda. It used to be $10/day for unlimited play, but last I heard it went up to $15, which is still super reasonable for a day of fun. I don't know if they're open, though.

I don't know if they're open, though.

If it's the Pacific Pinball Museum, they're still open. They're having a fundraising sale of quite a few surplus games, with four levels of conditions. From recently serviced and ready for play to only good for parts scavenging.

YES, that's the place !!! I recommend it.

I find that Stern games tend to have the worst (Least best?) flippers
Anybody notice that?

I like most of them on Gottlieb and Bally better, but that never stopped me from playing a Stern game.

Do you mean the new ones? From my experience new stern flippers could launch a ball to Saturn.

Well the ones I've played--soprobably more the older ones--if the new ones are better--cool.

This was my favorite I pushed money into it for many years.
Reaching the basement level always was a treat.
