My first pinball machine!

[Unleaded Logic]

jealous, i'd love to have my own pinball, but i want something a bit newer late 80s to early 90s.

Hey, I'm still jealous of the Tekken machine you got for Uber cheap...so we are even there.

Here's a video of the machine in action...about 5 minutes in.

I like your new pin table. One of those came up for sale in my area recently for a good price. I like the moving target. I almost bought Swingers.
I bought my first pin in March and love playing it. I also bought a project table over the July 4 holiday. I've spent the last few weeks cleaning, replacing rubber, and getting it back into working order. I think I'm on track to have it playable in the next 2-3 weeks - and I cannot wait.

If you haven't already used this site for info, I'll swear by it. Staggering info and details can be found there: http://www.marvin3m.com/fix.htm

My tables:
1968 Bally Dixieland
1968 Gottlieb Fun Land

Wow! Thanks for the link to this! This site has alot of great tips and answered a few questions about my pinball machine. I'm going to do some more reading on there shortly. I really enjoy learning about how to fix up these machines. Fun Land seems like tons of fun, I played it earlier at a convention earlier this year and had a good time with it.

I want a Pinbot machine bad.

I love the sounds of the Pinbot table. I haven't played a real one in ages, but are the side drains as evil on a real table as they are on the PS2 and PS3 versions? I swear there are magnets that pull the ball right down the sides.

A bowling alley I used to go to as a kid had a machine and I loved that thing. Best pinball machine ever made. I used to play the hell out of the NES version but I had no idea that there was a PS2 version. I imagine it is on some pinball comp? Yeah, sometimes your ball shoots straight down the side, I remember that.

This same bowling alley had NARC and Double Dragon. My birth mother worked in the bar there when I went to live with her when I was like 11. She would take me to work with her and give me a roll of quarters. I played the hell out of all three of those games. They had a few other machines but it is hard to remember. Joust for sure. Anyhow, Pinbot rules.

Pinball Hall of Fame Williams Collection for PS2 and PS3. The latter has more tables. I suggest you pick one up post haste as soon as you have some fun money.

Sorry for mucking up your thread Mike.

I'll have to pick that up. Yeah, sorry for the hi-jack!

No problem about the mucking. Does it feel strange playing a pinball game when your playing a video game version of it at all?
