    The Return of Camp Silverball 2022!!!

    You got that right Ben Taco! In a BIG way. Wait until you see my Trident! Plus, by then I'll prolly have my Seawitch (shhh, don't jinx it) for to have an Early Stern oceanic theme going.

    Crossing ma fingees for PAGG in October! I think it's looking good.

    #59 2 years ago

    For entry into PAGG in October, you hadda show a negative test in the last 2 days, or a vax card. Mask required for everyone inside. It worked just fine.

    #63 2 years ago

    Ok boiz, you best bring your money to gamble in the campcade cuz I just got my newly acquired Flipper Football working 100% and I must say it's a blast. Let the haters hate... This bad boy is fun... There's gonna be some fast and furious competition going on.
    Thanks Mike!

    #66 2 years ago
    Quoted from Miguel351:

    Are you actually bringing it to the show

    No doubt Rainbow Trout! It'll be in the campground. Up to 6 pinheads gambling and competing. It's a really fun, really fast game!
    Gotta figure the haters have never actually played it proper...
    FF and Oh Boy will be accepting gamblers in the campcade

    #68 2 years ago

    Trident and Speakeasy in the show (+ one more tbd) and FF and Oh Boy in camp!
    Can. Not. Wait.

    For the show ima bringing my Arduino Trident and Speakeasy. Prolly got room for one more for the show. Mars Trek or Genesis?

    Campcade will have Flipper Football and Oh Boy and I think Hawkmoon might be contributing his RZ too!

    #124 2 years ago

    Umm, @mrgone... I'm having a little trouble calculating the number of days until I get my GSPF fix. Withdrawals are making it difficult to concentrate. Could you please help me here?

    #171 2 years ago
    Quoted from DavidCPA:

    Is Trident coming? Loved playing it at TFR. Alternate rule set and audio... Amazing!

    No doubt, Rainbow Trout. Along with Speakeasy and my Pinball Pirated Mars Trek.
    I know... Dick's new code and sounds for Trident are killer!

    The Gspf site is giving me that error that won't show the games list!

    #245 1 year ago

    WTF People? 166 games pledged? That's it???
    We oughta be double that with less than two weeks to go.
    C'mon, let's see some contribution!
    In '19 we had over 300, I think...

    Stoked that Larry Z is bringing that beauty Reserve again this year.

    Just a little cheerleading...

    #246 1 year ago

    Just looked, and the MFP peeps are representing big time!
    Up to 176!

    #265 1 year ago
    Quoted from GoldenStatePin:

    Ten games! Can’t thank you enough! You rule!!

    What he said!
    Ok. Now we're starting to get somewhere...

    #269 1 year ago

    I might go with a 4th machine now, just to take up the slack, since nobody be biting on Genie.
    Since Bovenzi's bringing an Oh Boy to the show for us to gamble on, I got room for another for the floor. Flipper Football has to stay in the camp for 2-6 way gambling and adult mode, but I'm thinking mebbe my Bally Expressway might hafta make its GSPF debut.

    Might even risk my beloved Teacher's Pet since I ain't seen one at a show since like '15 at CAX. Mine's never left my place since I brought it home from O-Din's in '16. Might be worth fewer dollars than modern, over-valued machines, but arguably more difficult to find to buy and more challenging and fun, and definitely impossible to play anywhere but a show like this or a friend of a friend's house.

    F it.. TP is incoming!

    #311 1 year ago

    72Devilz that looks killer! But if I'm not mistaken, they put the machines up for the drawing on the floor. So mebbe a different title if yer holding? Just a thought for max variety...

    #330 1 year ago

    Will Phinley be selling product?????

    #331 1 year ago

    219 games ain't half bad, but we had 300+ in '19...
    C'mon Brotatoes... more games! I'm dragging 4 games 4 hours 4 the show. The MFP peeps are rolling in hard. 72Devilz is coming in with like 10. Wottaboot the rest of you lurkers? C'mon backstage... it's worth it. Do it for Johnny! (I teach 7th grade and The Outsiders makes them all cry!)

    #335 1 year ago
    Quoted from jbovenzi:

    bringing Harlem Globetrotters to show

    That's called stepping up!
    Trade for Genie or boogie?

    #344 1 year ago
    Quoted from jbovenzi:

    Nah, You already got my first HG at the previous PAGG! Stop double-dipping

    I might come in hot with cache monet... You never know.

    #345 1 year ago
    Quoted from 72Devilz:

    Woo hoo, I see that Hurricane has been signed up and that’s one I have yet to play! Feel free to set that bad boy up next to my Cyclone. Now all we need is a Comet and we have the roller coaster trifecta represented

    Cyclone is the best of the three and the GOAT for me. Can't wait to play yers! You wouldn't have a playfield for me would you?

    #346 1 year ago

    Ok so... U-haul was gonna make me make a 40+ mile round trip for my 5x8 enclosed trailer. Since the weather gonna be killer, I checked and they had a 5x9 open. Prolly got room to bring Genie to the show on spec for sale.
    Hmmm... Let's say she'll be priced in the 1700 range...

    #359 1 year ago
    Quoted from MrArt2u:

    So it looks like Amanda and I will be staying home with the pup this weekend.

    Dagnabbit!

    #364 1 year ago
    Quoted from 72Devilz:

    Break down and staging complete. Never thought this day would come! 40 hours till setup! Edit: it is amazing how much crap you end up storing under machines when you don’t have the obligatory yearly pinball show to clear out that space!

    Nofa king doubt Rainbow Trout!

    No Sparky, no Art... So glad and grateful the bbq lives on but I'll certainly be missing the official host and official photographers. Hope to mebbe see you at CAX!

    #369 1 year ago
    Quoted from 72Devilz:

    Those Sonic machines have the most beautiful and robust playfields

    Lead-based automotive finish for the win!

    And Genie is officially coming and will be for sale.

    Not to worry Tony... I got the goods from the late night camp action...
    Plus i snaked a game that's gonna get its own thread soon. It saw a lot of action in camp.
    Stall ball tourney went until 2:30 Friday. Linked Metallicas comp went until like 3:30am Saturday.

    There was a goddamn inflatable pyramid with a TMNT inside.
    Pics of the mayhem soon.

    Tony, Tony, Tone: We best see you at CAX this year my brother... Or we might have some doubts about your pinhead bonafides
    Listen to your wife next time.

    #478 1 year ago
    Quoted from ThatOneDude:

    I was freaking exhausted

    I always have a GSPF "hangover" for like 3 days. I still got 2 machines sitting out on the patio waiting for me to work up enough energy to drag them up the ramps into the house. Hadda take yesterday off just to unload and return the trailer and nap.
    SOOOOOO worth it.
    Next year, baby. Next level.

    #480 1 year ago
    Quoted from 72Devilz:

    . I told you I’d send a picture of SS with the new backglass I got from you and it looks great! Thanks once again, pal!

    Shweet! You brought the goods my brother. Yer machines were in sweet shape, killer titles, and got a lot of noob play! Thanks for the killer lineup. I might assign mission status to that Special Force!

    #482 1 year ago
    Quoted from Apinplayer:

    I'm ready to get back in full swing next year. Didn't bring any games but got to take one home. It was the pro on the left. It had 466 games on it from the weekend.

    Let's goooo!
    Great to see you on the drive-by! Can't wait to step it up a few notches next year!

    #484 1 year ago
    Quoted from mrgone:

    Trident got 300+ plays
    Genie got 200+
    Forgot to check Mars Trek before, but it was almost always being played. Held up like a champ. Thanks Pinball Pirate!
    Sold Speakeasy, but I kept having to coin it up all the time, so it seems like it was played a lot.
    Flipper Football got hundreds of plays in the camp.
    Heat Wave shorted a coil and went down, but was a hit up until then.

    Cannot wait to take it up a notch next year.
    See you at CAX!

    #507 1 year ago

    Spent a day getting another score from GSPF working. Got it from the bagatelle dude. 1936 ELECTRIC Kick Back. It takes 4 D batteries for 2 coils that kick the ball back into play upon contact with the switch. Still cleaning it up and dialing it in, but it's already playing beauty and ready for gambling in camp next year. The feet at the bottom did not come with. They were meant to be wooden pegs. The feet are from the CC Pool game and fit perfectly!

    More pics as I get it looking purty.
