Any Pin Heads here ?

Fishbeadtwo · 01-19-2009, 11:56 AM

Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball.......

Been scouring the local Craigslist and Flea bay and found a machine for my garage/drive in man cave....So now when I smoke in the garage I also play pinball.....So it looks like more smoking but a touch less attention(for now) to flavor nuances.....

with apologies to the Who...."that deaf, dumb and cigar smoker sure plays a mean pinball" ............

Up to 2 machines with another on the horizon, man the slope is slippery.....

hope the wife is sympathetic when #3 follows me home....

I play them wherever one can be found. which is to say, not as much as I'd like. The local vending company has helped by telling me exactly which bars have one or more of their pinball machines, but for this being a metropolis, their aren't that many in circulation.

If my condo was more roomy I'd probably just buy one and be done with it.

If I ever find a reasonable priced 'creature from the black lagoon' I will buy it

Fishbeadtwo · 01-19-2009, 02:43 PM

There is a whole other world out there of pinball freaks...I have owned the Aztec for 24 hours and am already negotiating on another one or two.....Just what I needed, another slope.......

Don Fernando · 01-19-2009, 02:49 PM

back in 1994 when I was in the army I was stationed in a small town called Middelburg and the base was really small, just 4 small platoons and used for education only. We were there for a course of a month and in the bar there was a 'creature of the black lagoon'. The highscore was by one of the staff and had been the highscore for years, so the owner of the record had a prize in the shape of a round of beer for the guy who broke his record.

All I can say I was pretty drunk at his expence one night

We used to have an Evel Kneivel machine when I was little, if I can ever find one that is in working order I will probably pick it up, used to play that game for hours.

Charlie....BOTLs, Vampires, and Pinheads! We have so much in common!

Here are some pics of my current machine. Also looking for a working condition "Satin Doll" by Williams within reasonable driving distance.

Fishbeadtwo · 01-24-2009, 09:50 AM

Shazamm Tom, maybe we had the same father?

I am lookinf for another machine or two......I tend to like the pre 1976 (em) machines over the ss version. There are great resources on the interweb.......Will play a game for ya in June at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas my friend!

Enjoy it, Charlie!

I am on Mr.Pinball and a couple other sites, just not very often. If you ever see a Satin Doll (Williams, 1972) or Pat Hand (Williams, 1975), for sale in the Midwest, let me know please.

Sweet! A Funhouse pinball machine. I've been lookin' for an Adams Family, Twilight Zone, Star Trek:TNG, or T2 pinball machine for myself. I've remembered spending so much money play them that it's hard not to want one again.. heheh.. and to have my name PERMANENTLY on the high score.
