Got an email with a couple new photos from Jersey Jack’s Wizard of Oz.

AC/DC RELEASE PARTY

I will be going to Dallas in a couple weeks for the launch party of Stern’s new game AC/DC. Who’s coming with me?

Good day of pinball

So I played fucking awesome pinball today. Got lost in the zone and #1 score on Twilight Zone. Then I got my new high score on Pirates. Then I got the new grand champ score on T3. Then I got Monster Bash twice and replayed twice.

Lost in the zone

Got Lost in the Zone in Twilight Zone today for the first time in a few months. Also got #1 besides my Grand Champ score. Here is a video of my weak lost in the zone, if you hit both flippers at once the machine turns off.

Time Machine

I have been trying to find out some info on where my machine has been and so far have had no luck tracking the serial number online. The inside of the cabinet says West Germany and then I also have a Texas state tax sticker on it. I assume it has been in a bar at some point.  I am ordering some new rubbers and replacement bulbs this week to start getting this machine all shiny and new again.

 

MY FIRST PIN!

Bought my first pinball machine yesterday! Time machine is a Data East game from 1988. Point of the game is to travel back in time to the 50′s which gives you a multiball. Awesome cabinet/playfield art and very fun gameplay. Also all the sounds are great, it has chimes and bells built in like old games used to have.

 

New Monster Bash high score

Got my new high score on Monster Bash at Dog and Duck today. Still looking for tables on craigslist but nothing up right now in my range.

Birthday Post

It is my Birthday today and I am about to go out and find some tables to play. Hopefully I can get some new board scores tonight.  Also got some sunglasses from my chick for Christmas. 150 pairs in blue, orange, and green. Email me if you want any stickers or a pair of glasses.

Funhouse

Played some Funhouse at Jackalope after work today and upped all the board scores. I had all the high scores until last night my boss got #4. Took that from him tonight and upped the Grand Champ score a little higher also.

 

 

Hands free pinball

Found this online today and though it was interesting. A guy on youtube called PinballWorkshop modded his Transformers machine so that you can control the flippers without touching the machine. Don’t think this will change anything about the future of pinball but I do think its a neat mod. He doesn’t show any passes or catches in the video so I don’t think that you can hold the flipper down.
