*Wisconsin Pinball

Anyone making it down to the FreePlay Florida in orlando?
I go there every year and stay at the hotel. I was just curious if anyone was coming down.

we are hopeful that we can host when we get up there and get set up. If we cannot host a tournament we certainly want to have some pinball nights or coffee and pinball events. We have been volunteers at a few tournaments down here as score keepers. But first i have to get this damn house packed up a...

There is a pinball museum that has one of these.... i have played it more that a person should, every time i go there i play that big stupid thing at least 5 times. Sadly even a complete custom rebuild could not save one of these lol

Didn't give the specifics before because this is super early in the planning stage and as any project has a chance of dying before it begins ha ha basically i am going take "the worst" pinball machine and do a high end restoration and modification. It will not be a re-theme but will fix th...

I am starting this conversation for a positive reason so please don't take any offense by any games listed or talked about. This type of thing is VERY subjective and not meant to be hurtful so if you have one or all of the machines listed please do not send hate mail. When you think of THE WORST pin...

not yet... but i am confident i will definitely be actively buying when i finally get up there (target arrival - 300 days and counting)

i have an old Koken barber chair i am restoring... the ones i have reached out too only seem to do business to business
anyone know of a good place i can work with ship the pieces out for nickel plating?
Thanks!

watched some coverage online.... looks like a great machine but online stuff can be a bit deceiving vs. real life.
did you get a chance to shoot it? what did you think of it?

many thanks one and all... lots of awesome info that i would have never thought of also will give us some things to consider when looking at homes. i sure don't want to wrestle heavy machines on a stairs turn. Going to have to seek out some online tutorials about the sump pumps and back valves. Real...

I realize the questions i am going to pose are probably of the case-by-case nature depending on the house we land in but figured why not ask... When we relocate we are planning on a house with a nice basement for an arcade/bar... i am trying to figure out some of the things i will need to budget for...

i really like the online program. For $20 a year you get access to some great old games.
If you want to pair up a pro or PS3 controller to the switch you can get a 8bitdo wireless dongle (pretty cheap on amazon)
it works like a dream!

Love the switch, they really did a lot right on this system.
they are bringing Fire Emblem Three Houses and Kingdom hearts to the system in the near future
Really hoping they give us Mario Maker for the switch soon, that was an incredible game
