Sweetness, I actually get to post in threads like these. Here are pics of the only pinball machine I've ever owned (for now, hoping to change that within the next year) and that currently resides at my dad's makeshift bar back home. It is Gin by Chicago Coin, bought it back in 1995 for a mere $200. Hey, for a 14 year old that was quite a bit at the time! As you can see, it could certainly use some TLC, a future project perhaps.

Very nice. Buccaneer is my favorite EM ever and I've always wanted to play Delta Queen.

Many woodrails there! I've never played one before.

I'm assuming that counter is for......Doodle Bug?

Nice Kings and Queens there, Dirt! Got to play a little bit of the machine on location earlier in the day, got a good enough score to win 7 free games. Talk about generous!

Nice little Video and Magazine store on Metcalf in Overland Park, that just so happens to have pins there.

Pizza West rocks. And they have an EM as well, Superstar!

Also in Overland Park there is Papa Keno's that has a Sure Shot and Lawman. The Lawman's cabinet is faded badly though. Still playable!

And all of this talk on EMs being out in the wild inspired this: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ems-on-location

Top Ten by Chicago Coin?

Looks pretty fun, similar layout to Kings and Queens. Do 3 of the saucers kick out to the right?

Can't go wrong with Gottlieb EMs!

Speaking of which, I may be getting one here in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

My second pinball machine! Quite happy that it is a Gottlieb.

Highly jealous! Nice collection you guys have there.

Yup, TKO was the last wedgehead EM, only 125 made. Space Walk was the last EM overall, 215 made. Space Walk though does have a SS version (Count-Down), which makes TKO even more of a rare find.

Rat, I see you have Atlantis now. DETAILS!

Welcome to the club, Gov!

Ah, the sound of chimes. Nice videos, Vic!

My roommate snapped this picture earlier today. maggiepinball2.jpg

Nah, her litter box is off to the side against the other wall.

She was afraid of the machine for the first couple of days it was here, and now she will jump on the glass even when I'm playing.

Plays alright, has a few luck shots here and there. The captive ball is pretty cool, plays rather fast as the majority of the action is in the lower half of the playfield and the targets are stand-up only.

Hmmm, I will be in the Denver area in the first weekend of April. Gotta make my annual trip to Lyons Pinball. Awesome place.

Gotta respect Sing Along! It is the current #1 EM on here, after all.

Speaking of which, I see that it now requires 3 votes to get an EM ranked instead of 1. Good to see that. Thanks, Robin!

Nice repro!! My Magnotron needs one. ><

And 2001 is a very fun machine, a nice fair challenge to knock down all of those drops.
