The Internet Pinball Serial Number Database!
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2014 7:57 am
Greetings to all,
In an effort to document as much as possible in the hobby, I started a while back to note and record every serial number of pinball machines that have come up to my place. I STRONGLY encourage others to do as well! It is a quick thing to do and can be done here:
http://www.ipsnd.net/
The database is a great reference as to how many machines are out there. Sure, sites like Pinball Owners are great, but none really have any system in order to document serial numbers. They are mostly "collector-inventory" oriented. IPSND is more about a global surviving inventory. It is a snapshop of what machines are still out there! And it is kinda cool to see that where they are all located!
So please take a pic of your serial number and register it! Don't feel like doing it? Then send me a pic of your serial number and a brief description of the machine's condition (working, a parts machine or just an empty cab) and I will do it!
Let's see how many are out there!
