Joe,
It was great meeting you last Saturday, and I hope your tournaments go well.
That new location is where my daughter has taken me on Father's Day several times as she grew up playing pinball in my gameroom. The games are in VGC with some awesome highly desirable WPC games. Every game played well and that was before Joe tuned them.
Best of luck Joe.
Tom
Although I have to say I haven't played a game built in the last 10 years ever. But flipping is flipping.
Thanks for all the work you did to make today fun. It was well organized, and you did a great job. Seeing all the kids kick my butt made me realize the future of pinball is bright!
Quoted from VisitorQ:Do you guys remember Playland and Campus Casino in State College?
I have some pictures from Playland I will have to dig out and post sometime... That place was awesome!
Absolutely. Played many a game there. It was a sad day when I attended the auction at Playland when they closed their doors. Had a Galaga and Donkey Kong in my gameroom for many years from that auction.
Quoted from JOESCHALL:Very sorry to say that Silver Ball Sundays in State College have come to an abrupt end. It was just not possible to get the management at the sports bar to commit to tournament dates, even over the summer, and with Penn State football and the fall semester coming, it was going to get even harder. So I ended my volunteer service work on the pins there, and players will now have to rely on the operator--whose number is on some of the pins--to repair things when they break down. The only positive news is that 10 of the 11 pins at the location are 100% working at the moment after I did a few final fixes this week, so hopefully they'll hold up for a while. And we ended on a high note with a very successful Father's Day tournament, so that's a great thing. Thanks to all who came out for and supported the tournaments.
Thanks for all the work you put into this!
