Hey everyone,

First off, Thanks Bruce and Kathy for another great pinball party! We (and
Dexter the mini-dauchsund) had a great time!

I thought I'd share with the group that Sally and I are going to the Las Vegas
Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas in February.

http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

Does anyone want pictures of any particular machine?

They've got around 200 machines.

Thanks!

Hi Eric

Thanks for joining the club . Next time you have a little extra time in Buffalo- and you don't mind driving to Rochester (where most of the club members live)

We could throw together a quick club night and play some pinball ..

If anyone knows of others around Buffalo or Niagara Falls, please let me know.

scoomie

This was taken from the October 1993 edition of the Star Tech Journal I read today:

Pinball Designs Too Complex?

Evan Wessel

Mercury Amusements

Havertown. PA

" Pinball designs are getting too complex. If earnings were increasing with the added hardware, I would not complain. This is not the case.

Straight 50 cent play will not go over in this economy. We're stuck with 3/$1 for a while and cannot expect pin earnings to keep up with the increasing pinball costs.

The big games and added hardware is just confusing the players and not helping us (operators) at all.

Manufacturers: Please keep your costs and our costs to a reasonable level."

Too bad he wasn't running Williams at the time..................

Any thoughts?

Hi Everyone,

I found two more pinball machines out there today!  I added into the database
(see menu to your left)...
   * Elvis at an AMF bowling alley in Depew (plays great)
   * Shrek at a Bill Gray's in Clarence (has issues)

Unfortunately, we lost one, too.  The Rose Garden in Williamsville no longer has
pinball.  Boycott!  :-)  Just kidding.

If anyone else knows of / comes across pinball machines in a pub, restaurant,
laundromat, barcade, etc., please post a message and add a record to the "Local
Pinball Machines on Location" database.

And remember to ask the bartender every time you go into a bar when (s)he is
going to get a pinball machine!

What website are you posting these on?

There's a No Good Gofers at Ziggy's on Main St. by University at Buffalo (South Campus). Game had a broken flipper months ago, not sure about the current state.

There's a LOTR at a laundry mat at the corner of Delware and Hertel (it's a few businesses up, but you get the idea). Sound is broken on the game last I checked.

Well, everyone has been listing locations, so ill throw in my two cents worth:
http://rocwiki.org/Pinball_Locations

Its a link to all of the Rochester locations, updated pretty regularly by a guy
in Skulls N Balls Pinball group in Rochester.

It doesn't update the condition of the games, however most of these I've played
personally and are in pretty good shape with the exception of the games at Bill
Grays, which are usually pretty hammered on.

To update Nick

LOTR is back in the shop getting new MPU with a working sound board. I let you know where and when it's back out. There is nice cleaned Shaq at that laundry mat now. Play's real nice.

Let me know if the flipper still broken on the NGG at Ziggy's.

Hi Nick,

I'm posting the updates on this website!  If you look just to the left of this
message...

<---- over here...

... you'll see a menu.  Click where it says "Database".  Then click "Local
Pinball Machines on Location".  That's what I've been keeping up to date.

For reference, I also update the big national maps on pinballrebel.com and
pinside.com.  I'm also one of the admins for pinballmap.org, which is nice
because we have an App for Android phones.  However, pinballmap.org doesn't
cover the Western New York region yet.
