Thank you, everyone who talked my friends and I into going to Pinball Wizard over Funspot.
PW is a very clean, well kept facility and every pinhead within a days drive should check it out.
In terms of maintenance/upkeep, the machines all rank from a 7-10.

The video game section was also in fantastic shape and just like the pins, was a great mix of old, new and a few obscure.

Can't wait to go back there

Here's a bunch of pics I took. I'm sorry if most are a bit fuzzy. I was trying not to disturb people and took them quick.

Been a long time since I've seen one of these. The backglass is about as subtle as an AC/DC song

My buddy just uploaded the video he took that day to You Tube. Some nice looks at the machines there but mostly a stays at TOM & CV while we screw around

We had gone to Funspot for a few summers in a row.
However it was last year, with so many broken vids and pins on the floor and my newly rekindled love for pinball that motivated me to steer my group to PW. The rub was, I (at the time), was the only pin-fan in the group and knew it was going to be a small challenge to get my more vid oriented friends to go to PW.

The consensus was, unless we hear things at Funspot/ACAM have improved. We're just going to go to PW for our "summer day at the arcade" and hopefully head back there for a few shorter trips throughout the year.

I agree on all counts.
Like I said in the other thread I get the feeling they are understaffed and underfunded at ACAM/Funspot.
I hope they have a plan in place to start improving the overall condition of the museum and possibly start recruiting more restoration volunteers.
Until then Pinball Wizard will be the place for my crew.
It stinks, because we really like Funspot and want it to thrive.

dupe :/

Oof…That’s a quite a showstopper.
If all they had were rare machines and games, I’d completely understand where ACAM is coming from but really, what’s the harm in having a volunteer program for the common pieces in their collection?
Have someone sit through a class or have a simple test. Sign whatever legal docs you need and allow access to only common machines.
What’s the harm in having a hobbyist clean up High Speed or Black Knight with only materials provided by ACAM?

You lucky sunnuva ha ha haaaa.....

Unfortunately, that makes sense.

Holy Crap, that's awesome!
Played it at Pintastic and really enjoyed it.
Great design and flow
