Let's get it correct. Pilsner is from Saskatchewan. It's brewed in other places but is a Saskatchewan beer and should only be used as mouthwash when you go camping. If you like to waste money you can buy expensive 6 packs of craft beers or buy cheaper brands that taste great like Brewhouse. Only a $1 a beer. So is PC beer that's not bad either.

What does piss tastle like? Haha, couldn't resist.

I was wrong about pilsner being from Saskatchewan. Guess there's a first for everything.

I picked up a case of this Hek for $9.99 at superstore last weekend. Surprisingly it was pretty good. Better than alot of molson and labbatt products. 20150925_191254.jpg

Drinking is a full time job, which I treat very seriouslyWonder what that says about me?

Great western breweries is in Saskatoon and have a few good beers including Brewhouse. Saskatchewan is still government run liquor stores so I like to buy in bulk when I go to Lloyd. It's almost double $$ here than in Alberta:/

Here's this weekends selection. Palm Bay coolers and Vodka for the wife and her friends. Beer and Rye for the boys!20150926_194051.jpg

You're more than welcome to bring me some! There's always crown royal in the cupboard but I keep that for myself.

If you're coming to watch the game or play a few games of pinball bring whatever you like. If you're drinking mine sure as hell don't complain. Beggers can't be choosers. And fill the bong once in a while too!

Has anyone seen these before? They're made by funko pop and are comic con exclusives. 20150922_082849.jpg20150922_082929.jpg

Didn't September already end? Lol. Don't you mean October?

Too bad I didn't see this last week when I was in ctown. Would've been nice to play taf again.

As a ol' skool rastlin fan, it would be cool to hang out with the liontamer this weekend.

Does anyone have a lead on a Aurich Star Trek alternate translite and decal package?

Thanks,

J

Bummer. I would have bought it. Glwts.

Rob sold his st. I can get the AC/DC one no problem. Hopefully someone will part with theirs. Prefer not to go ebay. I'm thinking of maybe designing my own. Anyone out there designed their own translite?

Look at what my wife found today. No Eskimos or Roughriders though.

I'm looking to pickup a 4 player mame/multicade. I know what I can build a 2 player for but not sure my skills and lack of equipment are good enough to build a 4 player with trackball, etc.
What's a decent/fair price on a used 4 player multicade with trackball for golden tee games?

Thanks

What kind of dog Jason? Wife thinks he's cute. When is the grand opening?

Can any pinsiders recommend a good bbq restaurant in or around Edmonton? Family friends from Europe are visiting and would like some good bbq.

Thanks guys!

Thanks. I'll look it up.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll pass them on.

That Pampas sounds awesome. So is it unlimited meat from 10 choices for $50?
There was a Korean bbq on 51st Ave back in the 90s that was buffet style and really good.

Same with the one on 51ave and like 91st. Real industrial area. I went to Wagner comp for a semester and went there a few times. First time I ever had meat sweats.

Do they still do the entertainment coupon book? My parents bought a couple every year. We discovered lots of amazing restaurants because of it.
I always talked mom and pops into red robin at whitemud so I could play fishtales.

For our birthday we always got to choose a restaurant to go to.
Von's Steakhouse just off Whyte Ave was always my brother's choice. Good grub. Great primerib.
Mine was Bistro Pihrah downtown. Best steak tar tar I've ever had and huge viener snitzlels and cordon blues.

My first real job was a dish pig there

Looking good! Can't wait to head to Saskatoon in the new year.
Are you going to hold tournaments at pokeys? When's grand opening?

If not sports on tap is open today

Used to always be a solid lineup b4 pokeys new adventure. Always had a Metallica. Tron, walking dead, ghostbusters, game of thrones on rotation.
Bartari should be opening soon and there used to be be games at the soccer rec centre.

Has anyone been thru Edmonton international airport lately? I'm in Leduc for a week and was thinking of driving over to see what pins are there. Unless anyone knows of any pins on location in Leduc area? (Used to be a beatup junkyard at Kosmos lounge)

Thanks

Thanks, but a little too far after a day of traveling.

I was offered a pro last month for $5500 with bell mod and a few others in Alberta

Sounds like a good time but I'm 45 min to the southside or Devon. And the highways sucked today. Have a fun night guys!

Anyone know if Kosmos in leduc still have pins?

Thanks Stretch! I'm probably heading into Leduc Friday. Are you still enjoying BC?

You guys see the lineup at flames community arena? Man they'd get at least $50 a week from me with that selection.

Taf
Batman
Dm
Ft
Flintstones
Hobbit Smaug
Rfm
Shadow
T2
Wcs

The Calgary guys definitely have good choices now. Lucky Cowboys

Stopped by Kosmos tonight. Acdc was beat up. Both flipper rubbers were crusty old and snapped, but still attached. Lol. 2 credits for a buck but I left after 2 balls. Lucky for us the new 2017 golden tee next to it had 17 credits in it

Calling him up couldn't hurt. If he did intentionally sell it to you that way, that bridge is already on fire. Probably why he had his wife deal with you.

Yes. I'll be bringing a pin and arcades and plan on coming home empty

I think I'll need another vip pass for Friday so might as well bring something to share and sell.
I'll know closer to the event what pin or pins I'll bring. Something not on list preferably. I've got a Legendary Wings buried in back of the garage. I'll dig it out in the spring. Good 2 player game.

Wife showed me a story yesterday about a 7000sq2 mansion in Nova Scotia selling for $450,000.

Who knew the Addams family lived in the maritimes?

Try posting here and see what happens

As with selling anything. You don't need 100 buyers, you just need 1. We've flipped 3 houses with no realtor and every time we heard on how overpriced the house was. Well we're 3 for 3 on getting full asking price! Just got to wait for the right buyer.

Did you end up getting close to your asking price?

Where's the best place to order fuses in Canada?

Thanks. Ninjaboot suggested the same.

Is there a color dmd for flintstones? That would look amazing in color. Amazing amount of work Curtis put into it. Would love to try it when I'm by you? I bring beer

Only heard good reviews about pandora's box 4. Think the raspberry pii 3 has more to offer in same price range. I've only heard bad things about the blue elf. Choppy, and poor interface, but haven't tried personally. Just going from what my arcade guy passed along.

Any food recommendations at Lucky's Lounge? Stopping by tomorrow for lunch and some pins

Thanks for the heads up! Pins only I guess.

Simply Donairs on the trail it is!

Pm sent!

I'm pretty sure to win this bet that I'm the only pinsider who doesn't own a cell phone

Still have a land line and no call display

I'll bring it back. Stopped by Lucky's Lounge in Edmonton. Excellent lineup of well maintained games. Only bop was down. Wish I had more time to play the games. Really enjoyed gb premium. You pinheads who live in and by major cities with excellent pins on location are very lucky.

Maybe I should buy the collection in spruce grove and open a location in Lloyd?

Then I can sell my routed games for $400 less then nib prices?

Stopped by Zervos at 10am this morning. Went to try the lineup out but had more fun with the two young blondes doing jack shooters at 10:30 in the morning "Why are you playing pinball?" I got asked a half a dozen times or so.

I went specifically to play Aerosmith. Man what a disappointment. (Gameplay, not condition) Sorcerer and transformers got the rest of my money. I don't know why no love for transformers. My first time playing it and enjoyed it enough where I'd like to own one. If you consider parting with it toaster maybe we can work something out.

All in all, nice neighborhood pub. Great lineup, friendly waitress, free popcorn, 10 vlts or so, beer was pricy and only 3 beers on tap but menu looked good. Definitely recommend popping in when you're in Saskatoon.

I hate that every 2 of 3 balls exits the bumbers hits the slings and drains without even flipping once. Then the 2nd ball goes straight from bumpers to right lane drain. Also felt very Metallica but not in a fun way. Only played 5 games and moved on. I can't stand when you lose cause of no fault of your own. Like the animations and playfield artwork but just not for me. I'll put $20 in tf and sorcerer instead!

No ball save would be even more brutal. I'd probably enjoy it at a home environment where my dollar doesn't disappear in under 2 minutes. Seriously fastest I've ever drained 3 balls. Probably under 1 min. Once I got to play a while not knowing rules at all it seemed fun but I keep hearing sparky and made me wish pokeys was open to go play met.

I thought about stopping but the Masters were on and still had a 2hr drive. Next time I'll stop by for a cuban lunch for sure!

If he puts aliens on route I'll be making weekly trips

I don't hate it, more disappointed. Aliens looks badass from videos I've seen. Has yours been delivered yet?

Fastest pickup yet. Guy shows up at my door. Walks over to the game. Puts everything inside. Pays me. Grabs the socket. Takes the head off. We carry cab to his truck with legs on. He grabs it, throws it on it's side with the legs on, closes the gate, shakes my hand and he gone!

10 minutes tops! Why can't all pickups be that easy

I asked if he wanted to take the legs off but nope. Just grabs it, leans it over and picked it up. Pretty impressive! Should have taken a pic but he peeled out quick. Little ford ranger with a game sitting on its side heading back to Edmonton

Anyone a fan of taxidermy? I picked this up at a antique and collectors auction yesterday.
My wife hates it. If interested in adding it to your collection, shoot me a message. It's about 5ft x 2ft
Could deliver to Yegpin.

122340026_scaled_552x288 (resized).jpg

That would be sweet! It was originally in the Mancaves store in Lloydminster with a $1500 price tag on it. (no wonder they went out of business)
I'm looking to get $150 for it.

Hey noah42, you just got a bbh? Would definitely be the most creative topper out there.

Wow, that's a lot of orange jerseys in Edmonton at Rogers Place! Nice they're cranking Metallica too!
Go Oilers!

Zervos is just west of pokey's.

Good morning???

20170426_064138 (resized).jpg

Now you're just bragging

What about a badass hand carved wooden hawk and fish? Would look great on top of bbh!

20170424_113407 (resized).jpg

20170424_113452 (resized).jpg

I'm driving the wife to Saskatoon for meetings Monday. Bummer Pokey's is closed Mondays. I see he has a MMR now.

What's the current lineup at Zervos? Tf and sorcerer still there?

FINALLY some decent weather here. Off to see if anything is biting at the trout pond this morning besides mosquitoes.

20170511_181717 (resized).jpg

Big thanks to Toasterman for the awesome hospitality this afternoon at Zervos. Pins playing awesome. Beer tasting great. Banged out a couple high scores on his acdc premium. Could have stayed all night. Looking forward to next visit already.

It's a little further for you but nothing is better then the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta and BC!!! Kananaskis and Jasper especially for hiking

One of these days I won't go to Saskatoon on a Monday

20170612_115114 (resized).jpg

You know I would never leave toontown without stopping in for a quick few games Snapped the pokeys pic driving back. Can't wait for the new arrival Toaster

Another place to play pins in Saskatoon (and possibly the best name) The Feisty Goat. Have a Gold Wings and Secret Service!

Wow! I think that makes 6 locations to play in a small city? Way to go guys!! Pinball is booming in northern Saskatchewan. Thanks to Jason, Kevin and the others for routing their games. Here's to good earnings for you all

Hey I got a question about cost of game on location. Without naming the operator or location, someone is actually trying to charge $2.00 per game. Is it just me or is this fuk'n crazy? Sorry, I can't see myself paying $2 to play a game of pinball on location EVER! I like to support pinball on location when i come across it but feel that is being totally greedy. Thoughts?

Areosmith pro. The ghostbusters beside it was a $1.00. Not sure if the kickout (library) on the left side of GB can be adjusted but EVERY time it would kick it sdtm. Basically made it unplayable or unenjoyable at best. I sat and finished my pint at the bar instead

I assumed it could be adjusted. I think he has it set that way on purpose. If it is the same operator as before the games were always leaning left for cheap drains and super sensitive tilt. What is really frustrating is it's the only location pinball within a 1 hr drive of me. Better to drive the extra 40 minutes and go to Saskatoon to support real pinball enthusiasts, not a greedy operator.

We should do a pinball bar hop, roughriders style

Count me in! What about a food and beer aspect and sell it to the travel channel as a reality show? Pins and beers across the great white north? 2 hosers playing pinball? Start in the east and work our way back west? Haha. Would be fun!

$7 Schooners at sports on tap in saskatoon. Just missed out on gc score Damn sensitive tilt.
Also cracked 500 mil on my first game of gladiators. No high score though.

20170703_164337 (resized).jpg

Also any Saskatoon pinsiders want to meet up later at Zervos? Burger and a beer $10. The friendly neighborhood pub added a friendly neighborhood Spidey

Big thanks to toasterman and his wife for a welcome distraction tonight from the past few days! I got 2 #1 scores at 2 different locations today! I think I hear medievil madness at pokeys's calling my name tomorrow.

Just wanted to give a big thanks and shout out to @ twilight1 for helping a brother out the other night.
Any time your around, you're more then welcome to try and put Rudy to sleep

Check the best thread on pinside out for pics. Let's see pics of gamerooms.

@volkdrive, man sweet looking space! Amazing lineup! And great avatar

Ah, the mirrored ceilings at luckys. Memories

There's a free 4x8 air hockey table on Calgary kijiji. They're space eaters but always fun.

Sounds like fun. If it wasn't opening weekend for football, I'd head down. Have fun everyone!!

Looks like a great lineup. So jealous. Now the burning question. Does pingod own shoes?

I was just talking with a friend about the John Trudeau case and was wondering what other fellow Canadians think? Would/will you sell a game from your collection because it was made by a alleged monster? Seems that alot of people are and will be. Personally I don't play pinball for the designer so it wouldn't sway me to sell a game but i don't have kids either so would like to hear others thoughts on it?

Is the sapp tournament today or was it last week? Mil's plane was delayed till today so I'll be down in Saskatoon tonight most likely. I'd like to get a few games in on SW or afmr before heading back. Thanks

What time does it usually go to? Might be little tight on time for me.

So who won? Results anywhere?

What's your thoughts on Star Wars Derek? Rules, design?
Pokey's wasn't open yet when I went last week so ended up down the street playing toaster's afmr.

Not sure if they're still there but what about gateway lanes or reds? Any of the dollar theaters still have arcades?

Aerosmith pro was $2 in Lloyd and within 2 weeks the price was dropped to a buck a game cause no one played it. Tuesday at Pokey's is the best deal anywhere, imo!

Off topic but I see pool tables in bars trying to charge $2 a game. That's insane to me

Looks awesome brother! Has anyone installed pin stadium lighting yet? It looks cool on the thread but what about in person? Also hear it's pricey $$$

That's better then the $550us I originally heard.
To do a game with full leds is around $200 and some pics I saw had incandescent lighting and still glowed.

Great looking volkdrive!! Please post b4 and after pics of rz when you complete it.

Can't wait to see it some older Williams and Bally games.

Don't care for the theme but game looks fun. Looking forward to seeing a video of it in action

Jjppotc looks really cool, imo. Jjp are sure creative with their innovations. Stern better step it's game up.
I think I'm becoming infatuated with tna lately. I've been gravitating towards tough early 80s Bally's lately and tna fits the bill. Anyone else interested in tna?

I'm in if it's not 9k cnd delivered! Kev? That's 3. Who else?

Off topic:
Great deal at Co-Op this week for 2" tie downs.. Stock up now for your pin hauling needs

20171027_073317 (resized).jpg

Wtf? I swapped games last Saturday and gas in Saskatoon was 89.9 a litre. Today, 6 days later and gas is 116.9!!! $.27 increase in 6 days

Do you remember a jump that big in price in that short of a time? Fuk'n crazy

Yikes! What was it a week or 2 ago?

I still find it hard to believe that in a week it jumped as much as it did. Gotta be some kind of bend over and take it hosers record. I've seen 7 to 10 cent jumps but 15 to 25 cents in a week? Come on. What did the frenchie in the east do to piss off the Americans? Lol

Sorry for gas talk derail. Back to pinball.

Does DHPL need/use subs or alternates? I'll be in the Edmonton area for a few weeks in later Nov, early Dec and would like to test my skills against some better competition if there's something going on.

Or at minimum, I'd like to arrange a day or evening get together with some other pinsiders for some beers and pins. Is there still a free play day at Lucky's?

Thanks guys

Blankets are great for dust as well. Less windexing. I jack my games up though and blankets just end up on the floor

Did my invitation get lost in the mail?? Lol

Thought you maybe texted it to me

Eagles make the super bowl, you better be expecting me!
