Anyone been here ?

I finally got up there this afternoon (I only live 30 min away).

I was pleasantly surprised. The place is bigger than I was expecting.

They have mostly pre-1980 EM equipment but the have a dozen or so
modern machines as well as some early 80's digital machines. There was
a handful of machines out of order but the machines that were up were
in very good condition. I think most of these machines must belong to
collectors, considering their age, they were in very clean, well maintained
condition.

I am planning on making my first trip there in a couple days. It looks to be fun. I was wondering from the pictures if it was mostly EM's. Have you seen the web site where you pull the plunger and use the flippers? pretty clever adverstising gag.
 
I was thinking about having my kids birthday party there. I don't know if a bunch of older em machines will appeal to second graders though, .

I'll bet half of his class has never played a pin, so it would be kinda cool to introduce them to the world of pinball.

Most were EMs but the electronic machines included Elvis, Simpson's Pinball Party, Cyclone, Firepower, Kiss, Countdown, Mata Hari. I think there were about 2 dozen or so
electronic.

They also had a couple Skeeballs, Bowlers, Ms Pacman and Centipede.

I stopped in yesterday with friends and was rather impressed.
The place was a decent size. Mostly EM, but these games are
in incredible shape. Awesome playfields, everything works well.
Sure, a few games were down and oddly enough, the newer stuff
(funhouse, addams family) had a couple small issues, but overall
they have an awesome collection. They also track high scores
in six categories... male, female, boy & girl children, and over 50 male/female.
Just can't get over how beautiful the machines were.
