Thanks Pin. I think I'll probably head over to SS. I'm not too excited to take the kids into a bar with me. We'll try Morts another time when it's just the wife and myself.

We have two CP's on route...

I believe this is fairly accurate, you can search by machine or by location.

And I will second that SS is very family friendly (no liquor), and Mortimers probably isn't (lots of liquor).

Also it will be MUCH easier to park a car at SS.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Hit up ssbilliards last night, met two great pinsiders mn flipper and and ltg I had a great time.

it was indeed fun and nice to meet

Hopefully you can make it Sat. night.

Rossi's in Madison has a BK2K now. It plays much better than any of there other pins. $.50 per game, 3 for $1.

also wanted to state the Pooley's on the eastside of Madison has 4 very well maintained machines, FH, TAF (restored), ST Pro & Space Shuttle. They all play very well and i know the guys running that deal will keep them running up to par.

Thanks Dave. Trying our best. Still a few game wrinkles to iron out currently, but everything is strong flippers and playing well...

Hope to have Rudy fine tuned and Shuttle sound back to normal in the next few days.

Maintaining route games sure is different than when at home

Suprised to not see you initials on any of them yet. I was able to get on FH and Stpro the other day, but assume those scores will not last long.

also > LMK when you want to stop over and play my HUO BK2K

A pleasure to meet you. And yes, it was a great time. Thank you.

How was the movie Lloyd?

Okay at best, dumb ending. Not quite as bad as Pirates of the wild west, I mean lone ranger.

LTG : )™

What did you watch?

So after losing on BOP to Danny Franks, Iwas wondering if one of you has this machine for sale?

Not mine.

Transcendence.

I just wanted to update everyone on the SS Revamp.

If we hit the $8500 and go above and beyond to either get $4500 more for a Star Trek or $7000 more for a Luci then I would cater in $500 in BBQ for a new pin party. LTG was telling me that when he would buy a new pinball, he would cater in Famous Daves and invite everyone in for a little pinball party. I'd like to bring that event back and have a good time with my fellow pinball buddies.

By giving back to LTG, we're investing in our community and making a great part of history even better.

Man that looks delicious!

Its the only real bbq i've found in MN. The ribs are fall off the bone awesome, its hard to find something bad about their bbq. I almost like their sides more than the bbq sometimes. Corn Fritters and Spicey Potato wedges are the go to sides for me and my lady.

Its from q fanatic in Champlin MN

My first time at SSBillards was last October for Pinball Circus. People were surprised I came from the Madison WI area to play pinball. My thoughts.... I wished I had something like SSBillards near me that was Pinball friendly. You walk in and you are welcomed. Heck I think Prada greeted me at the door! I was an out of towner but felt at home. If you never have been to SSBillards it should be on your bucket list of Pinball related activities. We talk about the growth of Pinball the last couple years. SSBillards has been there doing pinball/arcade/pool for a lot longer. A way to help pinball grow is to get "new" people involved and SSBillards is a place to do that. Please show some love to LTG, Prada and SSBillards.

Anyone interested in trading for this?

ps kiosk.jpg

Trade for a GayStation?

Trade for a GayStation?

Sounds like some one wants to trade their Gayshaker for my gaystation

Did anyone here grab that Dungeon and Dragons Pinball in Chaska this weekend?

Was that on CL?

I wish. $350! I e-mail 45 min after the ad went up and he said it was sold already.

It even had the topper. Somone got a good deal.

@paul Yeah, on CL..

I emailed right away too and called the next day cuz it seemed like he listed after 10pm on thurs.

The bottom of the cabinet looked like it had been planed at a weird angle for some reason.. wonder what the story was.

Just wanted to give a big thank you to some Mn pinsiders Lloyd, Jim and Paul and a few others that I cant rember there names(this whole weekend was a blur) it was great meeting you all.
I had such an incredible weekend up there, watched volleyball every day and was able to play pinball every night. Our girls finished 5th out of 56 teams so they have some work to do before we come back in June for the USA junior Olympic national championships but what a great experience.

The Minneapolis area has a great pinball scene and is just a beautiful city my 15 yr old daughter said that she wants to live there while we were walking back to the car at the end of the day Sun. I told her that she better visit in January before she makes that decision.

Thanks again you guys made a great trip even better
Steve

Yeah, it went up a little after 10, it was sold almost instantly.

A friend and I both tried contacting him within minutes of the ad going up, no response until Thursday afternoon.

I didn't get a reply and a friend of mine was in communication with him, but did not get the game.

If someone local got it, I'd be interested in purchasing it from you.

That's the way they made that cabinet. I'm not sure why. It looks little odd though.

It was a pleasure to have ya stop by and play my EATPM and others. So how do ya like it? I noticed you put a FEW games on it. The girls didn't do to bad especially with your top spiker out. Hope you can stop in again in June, just let me know.

Anyone want to trade their Metallica pro for my HUO Star Trek pro? I love trek, but my wife is keen on Metallica now...
PM me if you're interested.

ROFLMAO - you are worse than me

I know right!? I'm not pushing hard to move it. I just figured I'd throw it out there. I'm impartial either way. But yes....I've only had it like a week! I've probably only thrown 30-40 games on it.

I think....I have.....a problem....

I originally wanted a Metallica. But my wife thought it was ugly and didn't like the game. We had played it with early code. So I went with a Star Trek. Then we were playing it at Morts last night and she was diggin it. WTF!? So anyhow....here we are.

Paul, I really liked the it in fact if I find one at a decent price I'm sure I would pick it up.
I also was excited about playing a couple of games that I have not seen before like Space Station and RCT.
I'm surprised you dont have a Mustang pin to go with that beautiful car of yours.

Picked up this beaut last night, did NOT expect to buy a game, but it worked out that I did. Any EM and/or Cabinet guys/gals in the area wanna school me on cabinet repair? This one has a split corner and possible other issues.... once I clean that up, it'll be a nice players game!

That was corrected today, my 2nd Mustang ship's tomorrow. Hopefully it will arrive Friday. That Jim is a BAD influence on me and I on him. But BIG thanks to Jim for lining it up. I just figured I'd buy myself an early birthday and retirement present. So now you can play Mustang when you come back in June. I'll post some pictures.

Nice score. Love the artwork, especially the bg.

I like it, nice find!

My pleasure always glad to help out a friend.. Now about the bad influence part just makes more pins for me to enjoy with you..

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Brunswick Zone in Brooklyn Park just got a Mustang (and it's set to 50 cents!).

I've played two now, and I'm enjoying the table quite a bit. Well, except for the licensed music- it gets really old really fast.

The game is a really fun pin, makes you take good shots and love the ramp set up.. Feel free to hit me up if you come this way and you are welcome to play mine too Or we can all just go over to MustangPaul's house

They have a Mustang release party on the Apr. 26th. 9-5pm

Thanks for the heads up tmac. I might check it out, it's a nice place. Anyone else going? I like the way Stern spelled the name wrong... Brunkswick.

Yeah come on over guys and bring some beer.

Mustang Release party at MustangPaul's house In St. Paul 4/26 800-?? Bring beer

Brunswick Zone has a great selection and their tables are in excellent condition.

Mustang Pro, AFM, Dirty Harry, SM, TOTAN, Strikes-n-spares, Golden Arrow, Hang Glider.

They also had a Fire and a Creetch until recently (Mustang replaced them).

All the SS machines are set to 50 cent play.

Which location?
