Spent about 3 hours at the PHOF yesterday. It was quite busy, excellent to see that. A quick review is that other than the newer Sterns in the front of the building, lots of the other games are going downhill. I specifically want to point out some of the E.M.s. Tried to play Jacks Open, no feature lights, no balls in play lights, no match lights. Had no clue what I was shooting for. Golden Arrow, no backglass balls in play lights working. Bowling Queen and Golden Arrow are SO tightly wedged together that the left rear leg levels are lowered so the machines can be jammed together(picture). Both games were so tilted they were not enjoyable. Pop bumper dead on Time Machine(D.E.) ball got stuck, couldn't finish the game. Lot's of machines turned off, TZ and WoZ were notable.

Even with all that, I could have happily spent another 3 hours there. For some reason, played the hell out of Big Hurt. This one actually fully works and that is hard to find out in the wild. I also finally dumped a few bucks into a Star Wars pro, HATED IT. What a stripped down P.O.S. This is supposed to be a $5K machine?

Tim was there, working on a machine in back. He did yell at me because I brought in drink from In-N-Out Burger that I had no clue was forbidden in the place. So I tossed it for him.
