I played a lot of pinball machines but a pinball wizard I wasn't. Just average with a lucky streak once in a very great while.
What I do miss and would love to have is an old shuffleboard machine. Now that takes skill.... got lucky sometimes and had great fun with them.

Used to have 3 of them and one I was building into a coffee table. Then the garage fire that nuked my black 68 wiped those out too.
I really want a Fire Power machine but a cheap one is about $2500. Back in the day I won a tournament on one of those. Played one game for and hour and 45 minutes getting the high score and racking it up to 20 games. This first place prize was $100, in quarters! Try carrying a $100 dollars worth of quarters home on a Honda trail 90. Had to go to a near by store and beg for a bag to put them in.

There was a killer Indiana Jones machine too . An old timer bar I used to go into in Lima Ohio called the Cameo had one of those ancient shuffle board set ups that u put a bit of sand on . It was a blast & hard !

There is a place in Eugene Oregon that is full of vintage games we went there a few times last summer and it was a blast. Oh yeah they serve beer!

Do not own one, but have always really enjoyed Pinball. My favorite of the newer ones is 'Family Guy'. Small ball & flipper board in the upper left. Favorite of the older is 'Haunted House'. Reverse board in the cellar is always fun.
Local pub has a 'Game of Thrones' pinball machine. Have not tried it yet. The mini golf place nearby has an arcade with 'Junk Yard' pinball machine - one with the wrecking ball. Was playing it one day a few months back when a couple young buys started watching after finishing their game of Super Turbo Turkey Puncher, or whatever it was. They were quite startled by the loud POP. Thought it was really cool when I explained it meant I scored a free game. Possible new recruits. |

I have a 1979 Williams Laser Ball wide body. Family bought it for my 50th birthday. My son, son-in-law, and me used to play it a lot. Then as I got grandkids, they all started playing it, standing on a chair, before they could reach the flipper buttons. Have had it for over 25 years ago, and the kids and grandkids still play it when they come over.
It's taken quite a bit of maintenance. I've had to rebuild flipper circuits, solenoids, make contacts that are not available, etc. There has been more repro stuff available recently. such as target decals, plastic parts, etc. Still enjoy playing it. |

They are like old cars but much cheaper and take up a lot less space than a car. I wouldn't want to give up my cars for them though. Fun to have both.

My wife bought me an Ironman pinball for my birthday a number of years ago. Aside from the '69 Firebird she bought me previously for a birthday, it's been the best gift I've ever received.

I have two Gottlieb machines that I got from my parents. My sibling and I played the heck out of them growing up. Lucky Hand and Ship Ahoy are the two I have. Sent both out for refurbishing as they sat for many years and no longer functioned as they were supposed to. Both are in very good condition otherwise.

Never had a pinball machine but I have several vintage arcade games: Asteroids, donkey kong, dig dug & space invaders.
Would still like to find a galaga someday. Ponchjoe, missile command brings me right back to a Super America gas station in town. Used to play missile command & tempest there. The gas station is long gone. Cool times.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
