    Quoted from Vic_Camp:

    I had a great day Saturday at the SBM. The staff there (Ron, Dan, Tony and the rest of the gang) do a outstanding job with keeping the SBM operating at a quality standard and all have a certain passion about pinball which they wear on their sleeve.
    While there on Saturday, i played just the EM's out of the 100+ pinball machines on site and really gave them each a good workout. The Joker Poker and Evil Knievel were in collector quality condition and played extremely fast(might be high tapped)and enjoyed the game play immensely. They have a nicely restored Top Card that looked and played well too, along with many other replay and add a ball wedgeheads that are also in good condition.
    Golden Arrow and many others new games have been added to line up since I was there in Sept 2015. It could be possible that many of the games that were there in Sept 2015 that I played, might have been brought down to the Del Ray SBM to jump start their grand opening or are just part of the rotation.
    I got a chance to just to talk with some of the people visiting the SBM and was interested in their thoughts about the museum and pinball in general, which I always enjoy hearing. It was also nice to bump into someone from west Virginia that I met at BINGO ROW while attending the York Show in 2015.
    The surroundings at the SBM bring me back to my childhood when our family would vacation at the Jersey shore. The boardwalk, ocean waters, aromas of foods, salt air and most important pinball give me a flash back for when I roamed the Jersey shores arcades back in the 1960's and 70's.
    As the rainy day was winding down, while I was sitting on the stool at the bar overlooking the stormy ocean waters in motion, I felt a calmness within myself and a feeling of my younger days growing up which were filled with so many great memories. I have to say that the SBM is a special place for me in this fast pace world we live in today. Thank you to all who are part of the SBM.

    Your place could be called Silver Ball Museum 2!

    Love SBM...great way to spend an afternoon.
