Yeah best soundtrack since Total Nuclear Annihilation. Love that synthcore

Fingers crossed they make it through. I can't wait to visit one day post-pandemic

@ cait001 - thanks for the invite. I know JameSchid would enjoy seeing that eclectic collection of yours as well. In fact, we are also due to visit the Pindude come springtime since his collection is always in flux in the up direction. I am hoping for a springtime visit, but will likely be later du...

My latest machine in the lineup.... Circus! IMG_20210113_194012_713.jpg I had what is basically a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grab a NOS (was NIB basically, but the box didn't survive) 10¥ machine from Japan. This is from 1978 and is in like-new condition, except for the facts it's been sitting un...

I'm thinking of letting go of my Five Jacks trade stimulator. These were made by Pace manufacturing starting around 1930. An old salt in the slot world told me this is most likely a reproduction cast done in the 1970s. I am asking $550. (originals sell for like $1500 CAD) This machine is all metal a...

My latest machine in the lineup.... Circus! Congrats. That's pretty cool. What's the back story? How did you learn about it and then acquire it? I've been researching weird 20th century coinop from around the world for a couple of years, with a focus on Japan, Germany, and the UK, so I've had my ea...

It never ceases to blow my mind how many other gravity type games of chance and skill there are besides pinball as we know it here. Especially the gambling type ones, my personal favorites indeed

when the pandemic is over you'll have to come check my collection of those

uggggh nothing like like poor quality knockoff controls to ruin a classic machine

2. Tron. Yes, another Tron but even better. Imagine what could be done with the full colour display now! I hope they start doing "2.0 Vaults" or something like that, re-releases with an LCD screen. So many great Sterns could be re-sold 15-20 years after they came out. (LOTR of course) (I also hope ...

1 - Wu-Tang Clan
2 - Mad Max Fury Road
3 - Metroid

I assume you're doing MAME then? If MAME, what kind of control setups do you have? (i.e. driving games? gun games? etc)

Karnov

new arrival! a Mills high-top slot machine from around 1940 20210105_220955.jpg If you appreciate purely mechanical devices, you absolutely need to get a mechanical slot machine. What a wonderous piece of engineering. I only wanted one American slot machine in my collection. I did my research and fo...

I guess my thing now is identifying machines in Japanese videos? http://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2021/01/exploring-arcade-in-aka-tokyo.html http://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2021/01/exploring-arcade-in-android-kaikader.html http://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2021/01/exploring-arcade-in-1971-aka-del...

I somehow made 8 blog posts in the last week at https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/ check it out if you want to learn about drop-shelf mechanisms, the history of transitional electric pachinko machines, see a Japanese arcade from 1970, my research into the first pinball machine on screen, a pachinko...

I'm starting up a new series on my blog.

Niche Mechanisms 001: the drop shelf

Such fun shots, too

I might have ordered something rather large from Japan. Eeeep. No spoilers until it actually gets here.
Now waiting for a ridiculous shipments from both USA and Japan...

Seemingly rare as all hell, especially in North America. One of the best art packages.

I worked crazy overtime from last summer to approximately now-ish, and just trying to start figuring out how to handle myself. One pandemic side effect is that it has meant more family time, and for that I am grateful. It also means the end of me living 10 hours a day in an office. I have not spent ...

into the LE art.

Not a fan of the rising spinner but the Pro looks like it will be a blast to shoot. I like Pro models having drop targets.
It reminds me of Star Wars except Ritchie listened to all of my complaints about that game.
Looking forward to playing this in 2022 when the code is being hailed

Your patience and troubleshooting for intermittent issues is commendable

If LZLE is sold out, do we know if it was typical LE pricing or Kapow LE pricing?
We still don't know if it's just a Star Wars reskin or another reskin of the home version "The Pin"

LOL 8 year threads!
