I went to that Pizza place in Rochester today, was dissapointed at how worn the machines were. Balls kept getting lost and a target was almost completely missing in one game.
I gave more money to the kids playing the pins than I put in for myself. It was worthwhile when I heard the boy yell to his sister that he had gotten three balls going on the harley davidson machine and wanted her to see it.

Sounds like fun, to bad about the machines. You can come over and put quarters in my machines...they all work too.

Mankato aint that far away, your welcome to stop in anytime your in town just send me a PM when you'll be here. I have 7 pins up right now and a DE Star Wars soon.
Quoted from tmac:Green Bay Lambeau Field first stop!
Nice! Have a good time buddy!
Quoted from tmac:Day one of Vacation. I should keep track of how much pinball I play on the road. Not Beer that be to hard to count! Green Bay Lambeau Field first stop!
VACATION....what's that. 
Have fun. 
Quoted from tmac:Green Bay Lambeau Field first stop!
Make sure to stop across the street (Ridge, West side of the stadium) to Kroll's for a burger and chili! I think the only pins left in the area are at Tundra Lodge.
Quoted from RustyLizard:Just brought home a Stargate. Time to move it in and set up.
Nice pick up, that is one of my favorites.
Quoted from RustyLizard:Just brought home a Stargate. Time to move it in and set up.
Congrats!
Report back with how you like it after you get some time on it.
Quoted from Whysnow:I think most SGs have mylar?
Yeah most Stargates and System 3s in general have full mylar. Unfortunately, it stops just above the flippers and on many of the System3s, it is the only thing holding their shitty crayola paint onto the playfield.
Quoted from ralphwiggum:it is the only thing holding their shitty crayola paint onto the playfield.
HEHE! At least it's not Rose Art paint.
I see mylar on yours. I can see the line in the gate from here. Stargate is one of the top 8's of all time.
Quoted from RustyLizard:Just brought home a Stargate. Time to move it in and set up.
That has got to be one of the best looking games out there. Nice.

Looks nice! I wonder what's under the gold paint on the wire forms? Perhaps there chrome plated?
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Looks nice! I wonder what's under the gold paint on the wire forms? Perhaps there chrome plated?
I was told it had new ramps. I didn't get into details with him on that. I see on Steve Young's website he sells some gold ones. Maybe they came that way. They don't look like the ball is wearing the paint off so it probably isn't spray paint.

The ramps & wireframe are gold.
The wireform should be plated shiny gold... not sprayed or powered dull gold.

Mine are not shiny. Kind of a matte metallic gold.

Yep been doing Krolls West for a few years, I think your correct on Tundra Lodge but I didn't check it out. I am still thawing out from sitting in the cold and snow all day but I loved it!
