    Ha ha, but seriously… let’s do something weird and fun.

    Roanoke Pinball Museum needs your old balls. Please send them to us. It will help us with a new project and fundraising.

    No, not those sad rusty decrepit pitted balls… send us the ones you replaced a while ago which are still reasonably fun to handle and look at.

    In return, for every acceptable used pinball you send us, you will get a raffle ticket. The prize? A brand new in box Flip Side miniature pinball machine. Seen ‘em? They’re pretty cool!

    Even if you don’t win, if you send us at least ten balls, we’ll mail you a thank you sticker and an admission ticket to the museum too.

    Old balls = new machine? Why not!

    If you’d like to play & help us out, just let me know below and I’ll send you the info… thx!

    A lot easier and cheaper to send than when Tim Arnold asked for everyone to send a bowling ball to him in Vegas for his giant bowling ball pyramid. (I sent two). Last I heard it was still standing. But that was many years ago. Anyone else here contribute a bowling ball?

    I've been to the PHOF countless times but I can't recall seeing that? Then again, so many other distractions...

    Get with the Ball Baron, he scraps dozens upon dozens that don't muster up to his QC standards.

    Participants are Carl Heitmanek, Doug Kurtz, Ben Barchik, Kevin Moore, Joseph Crosset, Brian Lee, Don Owen, and Chris Perry.

    And the winner is (via random.org)…
