Thanks Pin. I think I'll probably head over to SS. I'm not too excited to take the kids into a bar with me. We'll try Morts another time when it's just the wife and myself.

#4252 9 years ago
Quoted from swenny:

Thanks, I was actually searching out SS and saw that. What about a Champion Pub? Any of those out on route? My kids played it on the ipad and would like to try it for real.

We have two CP's on route...

Sporty's Pub & Grill
2124 Como Avenue Southeast | Minneapolis
They also have Avatar

VFW Post 295
111 Concord Exchange South | South St. Paul
They also have Strikes and Spares (Gottlieb)

I believe this is fairly accurate, you can search by machine or by location.

And I will second that SS is very family friendly (no liquor), and Mortimers probably isn't (lots of liquor).

Also it will be MUCH easier to park a car at SS.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Rossi's in Madison has a BK2K now. It plays much better than any of there other pins. $.50 per game, 3 for $1.

#4259 9 years ago

also wanted to state the Pooley's on the eastside of Madison has 4 very well maintained machines, FH, TAF (restored), ST Pro & Space Shuttle. They all play very well and i know the guys running that deal will keep them running up to par.

Thanks Dave. Trying our best. Still a few game wrinkles to iron out currently, but everything is strong flippers and playing well...

Hope to have Rudy fine tuned and Shuttle sound back to normal in the next few days.

Maintaining route games sure is different than when at home

Suprised to not see you initials on any of them yet. I was able to get on FH and Stpro the other day, but assume those scores will not last long.

Okay at best, dumb ending. Not quite as bad as Pirates of the wild west, I mean lone ranger.

So after losing on BOP to Danny Franks, Iwas wondering if one of you has this machine for sale?

I just wanted to update everyone on the SS Revamp.

If we hit the $8500 and go above and beyond to either get $4500 more for a Star Trek or $7000 more for a Luci then I would cater in $500 in BBQ for a new pin party. LTG was telling me that when he would buy a new pinball, he would cater in Famous Daves and invite everyone in for a little pinball party. I'd like to bring that event back and have a good time with my fellow pinball buddies.

By giving back to LTG, we're investing in our community and making a great part of history even better.

Man that looks delicious!

Quoted from PinballKen:

Its the only real bbq i've found in MN. The ribs are fall off the bone awesome, its hard to find something bad about their bbq. I almost like their sides more than the bbq sometimes. Corn Fritters and Spicey Potato wedges are the go to sides for me and my lady.

Its from q fanatic in Champlin MN

My first time at SSBillards was last October for Pinball Circus. People were surprised I came from the Madison WI area to play pinball. My thoughts.... I wished I had something like SSBillards near me that was Pinball friendly. You walk in and you are welcomed. Heck I think Prada greeted me at the door! I was an out of towner but felt at home. If you never have been to SSBillards it should be on your bucket list of Pinball related activities. We talk about the growth of Pinball the last couple years. SSBillards has been there doing pinball/arcade/pool for a lot longer. A way to help pinball grow is to get "new" people involved and SSBillards is a place to do that. Please show some love to LTG, Prada and SSBillards.

Sounds like some one wants to trade their Gayshaker for my gaystation

#4275 9 years ago

Did anyone here grab that Dungeon and Dragons Pinball in Chaska this weekend?

#4277 9 years ago

I wish. $350! I e-mail 45 min after the ad went up and he said it was sold already.

It even had the topper. Somone got a good deal.

#4278 9 years ago

@paul Yeah, on CL..

I emailed right away too and called the next day cuz it seemed like he listed after 10pm on thurs.

The bottom of the cabinet looked like it had been planed at a weird angle for some reason.. wonder what the story was.

#4279 9 years ago

Just wanted to give a big thank you to some Mn pinsiders Lloyd, Jim and Paul and a few others that I cant rember there names(this whole weekend was a blur) it was great meeting you all.
I had such an incredible weekend up there, watched volleyball every day and was able to play pinball every night. Our girls finished 5th out of 56 teams so they have some work to do before we come back in June for the USA junior Olympic national championships but what a great experience.

The Minneapolis area has a great pinball scene and is just a beautiful city my 15 yr old daughter said that she wants to live there while we were walking back to the car at the end of the day Sun. I told her that she better visit in January before she makes that decision.

Thanks again you guys made a great trip even better

Yeah, it went up a little after 10, it was sold almost instantly.

A friend and I both tried contacting him within minutes of the ad going up, no response until Thursday afternoon.

Quoted from big_ragu:

I didn't get a reply and a friend of mine was in communication with him, but did not get the game.

If someone local got it, I'd be interested in purchasing it from you.

That's the way they made that cabinet. I'm not sure why. It looks little odd though.

ROFLMAO - you are worse than me

Quoted from PunishersLEMC:

I know right!? I'm not pushing hard to move it. I just figured I'd throw it out there. I'm impartial either way. But yes....I've only had it like a week! I've probably only thrown 30-40 games on it.

I think....I have.....a problem....

I originally wanted a Metallica. But my wife thought it was ugly and didn't like the game. We had played it with early code. So I went with a Star Trek. Then we were playing it at Morts last night and she was diggin it. WTF!? So anyhow....here we are.

#4287 9 years ago

Paul, I really liked the it in fact if I find one at a decent price I'm sure I would pick it up.
I also was excited about playing a couple of games that I have not seen before like Space Station and RCT.
I'm surprised you dont have a Mustang pin to go with that beautiful car of yours.

#4288 9 years ago

Picked up this beaut last night, did NOT expect to buy a game, but it worked out that I did. Any EM and/or Cabinet guys/gals in the area wanna school me on cabinet repair? This one has a split corner and possible other issues.... once I clean that up, it'll be a nice players game!

That was corrected today, my 2nd Mustang ship's tomorrow. Hopefully it will arrive Friday. That Jim is a BAD influence on me and I on him. But BIG thanks to Jim for lining it up. I just figured I'd buy myself an early birthday and retirement present. So now you can play Mustang when you come back in June. I'll post some pictures.

My pleasure always glad to help out a friend.. Now about the bad influence part just makes more pins for me to enjoy with you..

#4293 9 years ago

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Brunswick Zone in Brooklyn Park just got a Mustang (and it's set to 50 cents!).

I've played two now, and I'm enjoying the table quite a bit. Well, except for the licensed music- it gets really old really fast.

Brunswick Zone has a great selection and their tables are in excellent condition.

Mustang Pro, AFM, Dirty Harry, SM, TOTAN, Strikes-n-spares, Golden Arrow, Hang Glider.

They also had a Fire and a Creetch until recently (Mustang replaced them).

All the SS machines are set to 50 cent play.
