Funny story!

My inlaws have a timeshare in minocqua that we will be using this fall. Please clue me in on the locale of that Jackbot, if you'd be so kind. I promise not to try to buy it.

Wish I could have seen the guys face.

My son and I were at a bowling alley and there was a TAF there and another kid was looking at the game and he asked my son if he had played it and he said no, the thing hand is broken and we have one at home I can play for free.
Well the kid starts calling him a liar then the dad gets into the act and says we can see if he is lying or not and coins the game up.
Josh says go ahead I will play last.
After dad and kid drain Josh says I think I will tour the mansion and is casually pointing out the shots as he smokes their scores.
On the second ball dad steps up, looks at his kid and says I think we are in trouble here son, I think you owe this boy an apology.
Josh said that's okay mister everybody makes mistakes.

Man I am a sucker for little 'interest' stories like this. Great stuff. I usually feel embarrest to tell randoms that I have a few pins at home. I guess I’m scared that they might think I am boasting. But to tell you the truth it’s not often I get to play anything on location anyway. If I think about it I have only seen and played 2 pins in the wild since I started my collection, started more out of necessity than convenience.

Cool stories RustyLizard and Tracelifter. Thanks for sharing.

Pinball? what is this you speak of? Never heard of pinball

Shoulda gone like this (but with pinball):

Hey I was up there a couple of weeks ago and saw probably the same guy playing that sopranos I had a couple of drinks waiting to play when he was finished with his game. Saw him win a free game and I decided to move on. found r&b taf dm and jb and added them to the pin map

Great stories,I understand the fear of letting someone know you have a collection(fear of boasting),but I love sharing my excitement of the game. I tell people that I buy ,fix up and sell pinball machines,I just haven't got the selling part down yet!

That go-cart track has been there forever! We were up there years ago waiting in line for the carts and a guy pulled a cart out of the mechanics shed and put it first in line and walked away. I was 1st in line and was half in the bag. I saw the throttle cover was left off, so I kinda acted like I was looking it over and reached down and bent the throttle limiter back. Needless to say I was quite faster than the rest and hit one of the corners too fast and spun it. I ended up facing the wrong way and said screw it and started going after my buddies forcing them off the track. I had three track employees trying to chase me down on foot and they couldn't keep up. First and only time I have been escorted out of a go-cart/mini golf facility.

Awesome! They ate crow big time and at least manned up to do so.

LMAO on that video Toyota boy!! What movie is that from??

The movie is Grandma's Boy - funny stuff!>

spending a week up in the minocqua area mid-july. might have time to find some of those pins

Be there Thursday. I've actually riden the horses there. I wish I knew they were there. I have found a bunch of machines up there. Love a good Supper Club with a machine or two!

Back in the day, you could find about 2 dozen pins in the Dells area, between Noah's Ark (they had a KISS on route), Pinbot, Space Shuttle and many others I remember around the downtown area. Now I think they have 3 in the Dells.

WI used to be great for pinball.

WI has lot's coin pushers that pay quarters.

For the dells Moosejaw has some (newer games) and I have a funny story I was there and some had a stake that was sizzling so much that it set off the fire alarm and as a joke I yelled out free food.

I played that KISS at Noah's Ark 25 years ago!
