A weekend visit to Crabtowne and the National Pinball Museum
Spent Saturday visiting Crabtowne in Glen Burnie. I was only able to stay for a couple hours so I think I missed quite a few members who showed up a bit later. Always a good time but I must say I think I'm growing a bit tired of the run down games there. I realize there's a TON of machines but I think of the 10-15 machines I played there was some sort of issue with them. A lot of those machines are BEAT and while some may consider 30 year old grease on the joystick to be nostaligic, I just feel a bummed seeing a classic beat to beyond shit
Those machines need a serious wipe down from the inside of the monitor out, and I'd say 50% + need a cap kit to say the least. It's too much for one repair guy to take on...I think it would be cool if we organized a Crabtowne Repair Day and everyone could work on the Crabtowne machines.
My wife ended up calling while I was at Crabtowne and asked if I could just drive up to Baltimore to meet her with the kids since there were already up there. I was able to stop by the newly relocated National Pinball Museum and I must say, if you haven't gone it's def worth a visit. They need more help to keeps those pins running but overall the owner has done a great job preserving the history of pinball. I did a quick walkthrough video of both
