Any Pinballers?

[bdc30]

Anyone here in to pinball machines? I picked one up a while back but it ended up being in pretty rough shape, so it's out right now getting shopped and repaired. I was amazed at some of the things people have been able to do with the games, and am really considering getting another machine or two when I find a few spare bucks...

My sister owns one, that an old tekken arcade machine. It's pretty awesome! Its an Indiana Jones one. Definitely something I would love to have in a man cave.

I owned Funhouse for several years, but sold it last year. Working on picking up a 1975 Williams Satin Doll at the moment.

I grew up in the 80s and lived in the mall arcade. I could play some games for an hour on 1 quarter. Favorite one was called 8 Ball Deluxe. I currently own the pinball listed below. (BTW bought mine about 9 years ago off Ebay listing from a local guy for $750 and $20 for delivery in the basement. Gonna be a bitch getting this out, they are heavy as crap)

As a child of the 80s I estimate I spent a million in quarters on various video games, pinball machines, etc.

My favorite pinball was called Jokerz, had a poker type theme with a cool ramp set up.

Would love to have some arcade games once I'm in a house.

Pinball would be second after this:

Spent manyyyyyy hours playing this game on vacation in Disney. Set all the high scores lol

Had a 1970s "stars" pinball machine pretty much my whole life. Really enjoyed it....will have another one some day.

I spent way too many hours playing punch out and then Super punch out.

It sounds like I go back a little farther than most of you guys. I played the hell out of them back in the '70's. I remember when they went from a nickel to a dime, and when the long flippers were introduced. Thinking back, I remember Target Pool and King Kool being a of couple my favorites. I also remember when Pong, the original video game came out, and Asteroids. Got into Asteroids for a little while, but that was about as far as I went with the video games.

Last time I played pinball was in 1978. lol

I had an old 1950's Gottlieb machine when I was a kid (grew up in the 70's). Didn't have much else going for me but the pinball machine made me the most popular kid in the neighborhood.

I love pinball to this day and take time to play whenever I come across an old machine.
