Quoted from dirkdiggler:

No screen grabs but there's a pinbot and a few others in the latest Cialis commercial.
Also looks to be a future spa? in Jim and Charles' apartment on season 2 of Brockmire.

911 Lone Star pilot episode. As they are preparing to remodel and reopen a firehouse that has been closed for a few years, Flip Flop was about the only thing left behind. But now it's gotta go. See ya!

This has gotten a lot easier since I figured out just to grab the camera and rewind the dvr whenever I see one.

Quoted from Gemini:

There's a particular second-season episode of Star Trek TOS called "A Piece of the Action" where Kirk and co. are being held captive in the storeroom on a planet run by gangsters and they have a variety of pinball machines in there in various states of disrepair... but I have no idea which pins they are. Most of them seem to be identical save for one. Here's a couple screencaps:

Anyone have any idea which pins these are?

Old post, but I just noticed these and saw that they weren’t ID’d yet:
Majors - 1941 (Chicago Coin 1941) - there are three of these in the room
Twenty Grand (Williams 1952)

I wonder if that SUPER JACKPOT game by the door is real or not.

PS - We actually have two Star Trek keyposts for this same episode/scene. Can we get the extra one removed?

PPS - It’s more work but it would be neat to have some way to tag games as needing an ID. With all this time at home it’s fun to hunt these down.

Left that Star Trek Voyager alone for now. The oldest instance has much better explanation, but a small picture. The one from a couple months ago has much better pictures, but no text/explanation. Which to delete? Ideally, I could merge the posts, but that's not possible. So I have left it alone. Anyone have an opinion about how to proceed in cases like this?

Actually this is for Star Trek (the original series). Posts 209 and 841 are both about the exact same episode/scene (S2E17).

While I'm at it, I notice the Twin Peaks entry has question marks for the season/episode. The shots are from S2E9 (Arbitrary Law) and S2E19 (Variations on Relations). I suspect those games show up in bunch more episodes since that's a frequent location in the show.

You are correct. Police Force has a big blue light bar on top, not a single Mars Light. Plus Police force doesn't have a DMD.

Boondock Saints pinball (lol) on Solar Opposites, Justin Roiland’s (Rick and Morty) new show. I swear this is the second or third machine I’ve seen in the first 5 episodes.

Edit to add the Entourage pin 5 minutes later in the episode.

LOL I like how they blacked out the back glass and the characters faces on the DP. Totally pointless when anyone would recognize DP by just his outfit alone.
