There aren't that many of the flipperless games that have their own page/entry on pinside, which means we can't add them to our inventory.
Is this something people care about at all? Should we try and expand the games database to include the rest of our pin collections?

for example, the pinside games list only has 31 games from 1931-1934: https://pinside.com/pinball/machine?token=&query=&year_from=1920&year_to=1934&manufacturer%5B%5D=3&manufacturer%5B%5D=4&manufacturer%5B%5D=8&manufacturer%5B%5D=11&manufacturer%5B%5D=9&manufacturer%5B%5D=15&manufacturer%5B%5D=22&manufacturer%5B%5D=26&manufacturer%5B%5D=121&manufacturer%5B%5D=30&manufacturer%5B%5D=145&manufacturer%5B%5D=34&manufacturer%5B%5D=131&manufacturer%5B%5D=124&manufacturer%5B%5D=102&manufacturer%5B%5D=69&manufacturer%5B%5D=141&manufacturer%5B%5D=105&manufacturer%5B%5D=166&manufacturer%5B%5D=83&manufacturer%5B%5D=84&manufacturer%5B%5D=999&machine_generation=&sort_by=machine_manufactured&sort_order=DESC

I can't find any form on the Machines page to request new additions, so who did you get in touch with to have them added?

thanks, Jeff!

I need added:
1934 Bally Signal Jr
1934 Bally Signal Sr
1950 Culp Bridge Ball

Bridge Ball: uploaded pics that can be used for the icon https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/bridgeball

thank you!!

can you please add 1933 Big Broadcast Special? https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=235&picno=16165
will ping ramegoom to add pics

I don't think Ramegoom is selling, but if you really want one (or another prewar) send me a DM and I can keep a look out.
Ramegoom has added pics to the machine, if you can add a splash image.

well, I'm looking for a Log Cabin as well, but good luck to you and me and everyone else on that quest.
If you want a table-top game in general, there are tonnes available. That one specifically? Nope, not tonnes available.

please add Peo's One-Two-Three https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=3285&picno=37379&zoom=1

pictures added, thanks!

can I please get Whir-Pool Jr. added?
https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5245

done, ready for its' closeup.

Exposition has a cool hidden mech! There is a single slow motor that toggles whether something is worth 200 or 1000, and when the 1000 is scored it fires a ball up this track in the backbox to trigger 5 switches in succession, something score motors would eventually handle.
It is so cool seeing how the tech we might take for granted first evolved, and what problems they were solving!

oh no, those pics are from ipdb. I love any excuse to go look up old pins I'm not familiar with.

oh totes same. Have you seen this pinball maintenance book? http://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2022/08/pinball-machine-maintenance-manual-for.html
While 60s and 70s, I love how it takes you through the development of the tech for each manufacturer, so you can understand WHY those features are there, and what problems they're solving.
Working backwards through pinball history feels anachronistic, but starting with PM pins and moving forward with each new development makes each development feel new and exciting.

I love everything about this. Great job.

Which ones? I have one but didn't see if the exact model is on ipdb yey

most of the "names" just seem like a description of features, and perhaps that is the best way to approach it.
Also I am unsure, but I think just because a certain year is on the maker plate, that doesn't mean it was made that year.

Redgrave at IPDB: https://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=advanced&mfgid=196

I don't think your specific tables are listed on IPDB.

Would you please edit your post so that all of the photos for one table are distinctly together, and then the other? For future reference I would love it if I could unambiguously line up the rear photos and plate photos with the main front photos. thank you!

If I find a wide ranges of relevant 1870s newspapers digitized online I could very much see myself one day trying to document them with more scrutiny...

much appreciated!

please add World's Fair Jig-saw https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1295
ty

Huh, that's odd. I went to Machines and entered "jig" into the quick search. Does that return the 1933 game for you?

That's so silly that it doesn't return a partial result.
I search for Jig because many places, like Pinside, list it as Jigsaw but the game has it as Jig-Saw, with the hyphen
