Solid State

Hey Sweet Hearts, come down for donuts and drains! Today starting at 11am. We are also open until 6pm for drop in play, $5 an hour or $20 all day.

We now carry a growing selection of pinball art by the talented Brian Allen. Prints signed and numbered by the artist as well as large wall banners in multiple styles.

Just like everywhere else you go these days, masks are required in all parts of the building. Hand sanitizer provided and all games are sanitized multiple times a day.

Arcade preview today 11am-6pm, $5 an hour all you can play or $20 for the day, 37+ games. Join us 11am-Noon for Donuts and Drains, our weekly Sunday morning gathering for pinheads. Grab a coffee or tea from the Tea shop on the first floor then come downstairs to the pinball bunker and grab a free donut from Donut King. This is a freeform discussion about anything pinball. Discuss a repair problem that has you stumped, or questions about a potential purchase. We have a Fireb...all home edition we just took in that is pristine. One of the first solid state electronic pinball machines ever made. Come explore this oddity and see how it all started. Based on attendee interest we can troubleshoot the global illumination issues on a Bally Atlantis we just started. We also just took in a new patient... Fireball Classic! If there is interest we can go over our checkup/diagnostics process and explain the steps along the way. Masks are required and social distancing will be practiced.

Preview the arcade today 10-6pm. All you can play pinball for $20 or 3 hours for $15. We have 37 games on free play all day.

We said farewell to Genesis yesterday. The customer was very happy to see it working better than ever. Decades ago it stopped working and spent its life in a barn. It was a huge undertaking but with the right budget we were able to make play like a dream. Thank you to the customer that referred their co-worker to us to fix this wonderful game. For those wondering this was about 60 hours from arrival to departure.

We took in a customers Gottlieb Genesis that had been stored in a barn for 20+ years after it stopped working. The pictures don't do it justice, this was one of the most dramatic before and after projects we have completed.

Today we say goodbye to one of our Swords of Fury copies, but it's off to a great home. This customer has been asking to buy it for a year... Since we acquired 3 we were finally able to make a deal. This is one game we never want to be without! LIONMAN

We brought in a Mousing Around and it's ready for play testing. LED conversion coming soon. Schedule some play time for today! $5 an hour for unlimited play on 35+ pinball machines. Get a sneak preview before our grand opening later this month. Message us to get on the schedule

Everything I do to one Swords of Fury I gotta do to the other two. Pretty sure no one every rebuilt any of these drop targets. Blasting through rags like I am working on an engine. Left side is a disassembled version of the mech you see on the right. Would anyone be into a live stream of work like this? If so we have endless content lined up :)

This is really awesome. Jack Danger and team have put together an ESPN style video of pinball! More please. Very well done and I can't wait to see what they do next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Ii82BOCvQ
