Card swipe? as in credit card or is it gift card type credits? I haven't seen this yet in our area. I'm all for new locations and will make a point to stop in there.

you will need more than just 3 games for something like this. Usually you need 5 to 8 for massive variety. And different eras helps diversify as well.

Otherwise it would be like me starting a tournament. $500 a ticket. And we are all playing IO Moon for a the prize pool.

I don't participate in tournaments I run that are on my own games. I feel there is too much home field advantage and feels like cheating to some extent.

I'm probably going to be selling my IMDN at some point. Was planning to wait a few months (when my P3 balance gets closer to due! ), or take it to MGC , but I could probably move it early if the right deal pops up. Shoot me a PM if you are still looking and want to talk about it.

Along with my search for a Metallica I am also searching for a collector quality Strikes and Spares. Thanks John

I’m in!

Finally going to hit District 82 on Friday. What do I need to know?

I've never entered a tournament and this may be the one for me to get my feet wet and learn.

D82 is awesome. Eric is a great guy. Flippin Friday goes from 5-10pm, $25 gets you in the door and all machines are on free play (over 100 well maintained machines). I think the tournament usually starts at 7pm, but I could be mistaken. I usually don’t compete in the tourney on account of my terrible flippin skills. I’m more of a fixer than a flipper. Bottled water is free and I think he has sodas for sale for $1 or so. Get there early to park in the lot, otherwise you’ll be out in the street, no big deal though. I usually like to grab dinner before D82 at Gyros and Kabobs in De Pere-awesome fries! Any other questions?

Thanks you covered it. We have to be in Green Bay at 4pm so it was an easy ask to stop there on the way home. I'm not a tournament player, never tried but I want to so this is a start for me.

Great place to get started in tournaments. It’s pretty low key and newb friendly. There’s usually a good mix of players with different skill levels. I’ve even competed a couple of times.

PM me or email me directly.

Men's/ women's division or singular?

Awesome place. Was there a couple of Saturdays ago. Over 100 machines and all the ones I played were in perfect working order. Get there when they open, so you can play the entire time they are open and you still will not have played all of them.

Played games I always wanted to try and learned some of them did not play as I was expecting. Played other games that surprised me at how much fun they were.

It is BYOB if you want to, they have a refrigerator you can put your beer in.

Neo's tournament is an 'every human for themselves' all in jamboree.

pinbowling first, which puts you in A, B or C divisions for the mini pinburgh style for the second tournament.

Finally made it here to District 82 I actually have chills.

Great place awesome people, wish I had more time. Played for about 2 hours, I will definitely be back.

Went last Saturday for the first time. It’s pin-nirvana! I was really impressed with how well they maintain their machines too. I’m an early ss Bally fan (I have five, all ‘78-‘81) and they have a dozen or so I’ve never seen or played before. Can’t wait to go back! It’s an hour and a half drive for me, but after they close, I’ll stop at a favorite supper club in Campbellsport on the way home, and make a day out of it.

what supper club is in campbellsport? There wasn't shit there when I lived there.

Good morning. I have a Godzilla Pro up for trade and a list of wants but I won't list it on Pinside for a few days. More info/pics here https://www.wisconsinpinball.com/viewtopic.php?t=2536 but I'm looking for the following:

-Iron Man (vault)
-TWD Premium
-BKSOR
-POSSIBLY Ghostbusters Pro
-Tron

It's in New Prospect, but it has a Campbellsport address. It's the old Fin N Feather.

Thanks for the review. Had heard of the place before. Have some relatives that live in the Madison area and will have to stop in next time I'm in town.

Public service announcement for Mazda CX-5 drivers. I always used a 2014 and 2017 Mazda CX-5 in the past to haul pins...fit all pins no problem (newer Sterns, older Bally, widebody etc) the normal way.

Bought a 2021 CX-5 late last year. Just went to pickup a Stern pin the other day and they DO NOT FIT. They took about an inch off clearance wise (height). Had to turn it sideways very carefully. Just a heads up for those in the market.

Just posted a Gottlieb Atlantis (1975) for sale. Located in St. Paul.

Depending on the circumstances, I may be able to meet someone halfway in WI, MN, IA, SD, ND for an exchange. PM me with questions or interest.

it's like that for Dodge caravans for the side door. Any van newer than 2007, no longer has a 31" side door opening. bumped down to 25" and impossible to go in from the side.

I had a 2013 Grand Caravan and you could get a pin to squeeze in through the passenger side door but not the driver’s side door. I really miss my 2003 Caravan!

really? the newer Vans friends have, were only 25". Maybe the grand kept the side door 31".

Yup. The Grand Caravan was a really tight fit with cardboard on either side of the head. Full forward front passenger seat and slight angle as you go in.

IIRC, The 2003 without stow n go seats would fit a pin through either side door. Better legroom and ride too!

Have some family in MN shopping for a GNR, DE or JJP, let me know if you have anything.

precisionk If they’re looking for. GNR CE, hit me up. I may be looking to sell mine. Super low plays.

Sure if you want to PM what you are looking for, can pass it along.

We added a few "interesting" games to Drekker Brewing here in Fargo:

Feel free to come on up and try them out.

Be listing a fairly nice '81 Eight Ball Deluxe in the near future. Just thought i'd see if there is any local interest 1st. Anyone interested, just PM me for details and pics..

Hey guys and gals. I'm looking to start an in-home pinball league in the west/north west TC metro area. This is my first go at this, so I'm totally open to suggestions within the league. We will vote on any key decisions. I'm not the dictator in charge. This is meant to be a fun and casual beer drinking pinball league. It's not a hardcore tournament pin league.

Here is a breakdown of what it would look like (nothing is set in stone):
-8 weeks long with finals being on week 9.
-Thursday evenings starting at 7:00pm and shooting to end by 10:00pm.
-$100 buy in. Payouts will go to the top three players in the finals.
-We will closely follow IFPA rules.

We will be rotating houses/hosts on a weekly basis. So there are some criteria for joining:
-Be willing to host the league night for at least one night out of the 9.
-Have at least 4 games that are in good functional order. They don't have to be the latest and greatest.
-Live somewhere in the west/north west twin cities metro area. I want to keep this thing easy and local for the people in the league.

I've been chatting with some guys about this over the last couple of months when I've been buying/selling games. The following Pinsiders have expressed interest. I will be reaching out to these guys to make sure they are 100% in.
Vitty
ChrisPINk25
brobra
Bearcat
Rustyck
Bmanpin

If you would like to join, please reach out to me via PM. Ideally, I'd like to get this started in the next 2-3 weeks. I'd like to keep this league around 8-12 people. So we need a few more to join up and we will get this party started!

Sounds like a awesome idea, maybe having a south east group could be do able as well. How many guys on the southeast side of town would like to do this?

And at the end maybe we have a east west shoot out, the top 4 best from the west, have a shoot out with the 4 top beast from the east and have a home metro champ!

thoughts?

I like that idea! We could come up with something if/when it all gets going!

foxtj24

I would be interested in a east/southeast league too with also being on the WI side.
