I want to be there 🔥🔥🔥 RAR One of many videos on YT: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i65b7b4OdfU I’m a sucker for vintage pinball machines. Spent too many hours playing 10-cent games at the University Center on Saturday night. I would need my CFO to approve this acquisition.

Fire1981 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Heck Yeah ! Gotta a stack of Quarters on the "Glass" and 4 games to go! There is no other sound out there than hearing that "Winner's Knock" the Match Knock it bonus 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Marbles Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 When in college, every pinball machine in the city was 25-cents. At the UC, a game was 10-cents. Add that the board angle was shallow and the bump sensitivity was reduced, you could hip-bump those machines around and never drain a ball. It took hours to go through $1. Fun times!

Fire1981 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Really ??? My Pinball Alleys where very tilt sensitive. But…..! There was one arcade where you could Rock and Roll them. I was 12 and they were College Students majoring in Pinball Science. I’d always have to check and see how empty it was. Open machines? I’m gonna shake and bake El Dorado and rack up 4 -6 Knocks 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 It's a cool game, John. I love playing old-style pinball. It's at least a buck a game to play restored machines these days though, at least around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I remember making my rent money playing pinball when I was going to college. Can't remember the name of the game but there were 25(?) numbered "blocks" and various patterns to win more points (and thus more money) (probably illegal for the bar to do but....it sold more beer).
