Drove past it last night. What you see is what you get. Fire power ii is the newest. Row of ems, videos (couple) and two jukeboxes. I will try to stop in and give a full report on condistons, but not for a couple weeks.

I tried to stop there last Monday but they were closed. Turns out they are open every day of the week besides Monday. You couldn't see many of the pins from the front window but there were some jukes and vids there as well. I think they charge $5 for unlimited play based on the sign on the door.

David D said he stopped by. Not much for anything new. Sounded like nice pfs for the age of most games.

He said he gave them $10 just to help support and they were very stoked at his kind gesture of supporting pinball.

KD and I were there this last Fri. Lots of old EM's. The owner was pretty awesome. I told him to join wisconsin pinball so he could get more interest.

Kind of wish there were some newer games. Firepower 2 was not working when I was there which was the newest. Also, it would be nice to be able to play only one, two , or three games if you wanted to. They have only the $5 option and I had very little time to use that one. Just some thoughts which might help the business.

Hi, I'm new on this site and the owner of the Dells Pinball & Arcade Museum. Our Museum is open 10-6 tue wed thurs and 10-9 fri & sat. We're a smaller museum with 21 games and 5 jukeboxes. Our firepower2 should be back up this wknd(new driver board on the way). Our goal is to move into a larger building and expand our collection to include 1983 and newer pinballs as funds permit. We like to thank everyone for their visits and donations. Donations from June were used to buy a new driver board for our Firepower2 pin. Donations from july and on will be used for purchasing more 1985 and up pins. We would also greatly appreciate it if anyone has a pinball they would like to donate our museum. For more info or questions, contact Craig at blueiracer@yahoo.com or stop in. ;)

I was in the Dells Thursday and Friday for a late season vacation. The Pinball Museum on River St is gone, they're turning it into a Realtors office.

Other reports from the Dells:

We stayed at the Blackhawk Motel which is a cool throw-back style motel that is family run. It has a retro arcade that had a Fire and Breakshot pinball machines. Breakshot was down but Fire played pretty good. As a side note, this arcade is operated by the Star World Arcade guys who always bring a ton of arcade vids to MGC in the basement. They were on-site while I was there and had a good conversation about operating and pinball on location. They had repaired Breakshot when I left, but it stopped working shortly after they left.

Moosejaw had a WWE and a Woz. Woz was powered off and had a note that it was broken. WWE leaned pretty good to the right but otherwise seemed to work well.

Wally World downtown was closed when I stopped by, but I didn't see the T3 through the window that is normally there.
