Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Spent a year in Anchorage on work. Two movie theaters had pins. One was a good place but it only had POTC. That game was maintained and you could report an issue and it would be fixed in a week. Anyways, the first six months passed and I was going crazy wanting to find a pinball to play and that’s when I discovered the above places. I put 1,500 games on POTC at 50 cents and became sick of playing it. Perhaps it is still there??
For reference one could buy a huo POTC for under $4k. The extended version went like this. On the day I returned from Alaska I was see mirages of pinball machines. I arranged that first day to visit my buddy Mike Chestnut and play his games. All kinds of highway delays, construction and shitty drivers so I was speeding to make up time. In TN, I was pulled over and asked if I was in a hurry. I told him yeah, I gotta play some pinball. At that moment his car speaker crackled and there was a big problem at the bank. So he left me with a verbal warning and got in his car and left. That was the beginning of a great day.
POTC is where I cut my teeth (good ole Century theater). Its gone! They replaced it with a Star Wars (Stern Pro) in 2015?). Too bad, I used to have #6 high score here on that thing (fyi, my bud Max was maintaining those games, good times). Now days, there are a ton of pins on location (Koots probably has the greatest concentration) but its nothing like the States. Im longing for work trips to commence post covid so I can get my fix, though i did jaunt down to Portland last year to hit a few spots. Note taken: Pinball can get you out of a ticket.
