    Vancouver Flipout Pinball Expo 2016...

    That was almost seven years ago... perhaps things have changed? Pinball is garnering more and more interest everyday. Since joining this hobby, I've met a lot of really awesome people, and I'm surprised that our community is all that different from Vancouver's. Adam, considering I've been...

    Vancouver Flipout Pinball Expo 2016...

    Ahh... that sheds some light... ;) How long ago was the show that Adam put on? I'm pretty certain it's before my time, and I certainly meant no offence to his efforts. To clarify my point, currently, we don't have a pinball show at all, let alone one of Vancouver's calibre.

    Vancouver Flipout Pinball Expo 2016...

    Hey, you guys have been in this hobby longer than I have... Yet I'm surprised that it would be of significantly different cost in downtown Vancouver. Further, we have a larger population and I would expect a potentially larger attendance. I hardly think that Tommy put together such a great...

    Vancouver Flipout Pinball Expo 2016...

    Looks like the Vancouver FlipOut Pinball Expo 2016 was a really great show! First show they've done, notwithstanding, Tommy at Nitro Amusements and everyone involved obviously did an amazing job! http://www.pinballnews.com/shows/vancouverflipout2016/index.html It begs the question: why...

    Yes, thanks to Mike Hanley, Doug Baird, and everyone else who put this on and participated! It was a fun day, and a great opportunity to chat with people we don't always get to see in the community! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    SOLD The Simpsons Pinball Party - Stern

    Hi Guys, Sorry for the delayed response... lots of kids obligations. Just getting back to all the PM's now. This TSPP has never been on route or in a public setting, from my knowledge from Reg and the previous owner. ... and Reg didn't set this one ablaze!:D

    SOLD The Simpsons Pinball Party - Stern

    It's hard to believe I'm at the point where in order for a pin to come in, one has to go. It's a tough call, but I've had a great time with my TSPP, and it's time to look for something new. This pin is immaculate. It has been cleaned and waxed regularly. The cabinet graphics have not faded...

    super dirty playfield

    I've always had a good experience cleaning the black grime with CP-100 (naphtha). Completely non-abrasive, and non-water based. There may be some pitting that you have to use the Novus 2 on, but using the non-abrasive first and getting rid of most the filth, and using the abrasive Novus 2 as...

    Do you insure your pinballs?

    I spoke to my home insurer last year and inquired about optional riders for my pinball machines. I was told, after the agent double checked because I clarified that they are commercial coin operated machines, that my pins are covered under the policy without additional riders. My policy...

    Stern Batman 66

    My understanding was that they are going to 'invite' select customers to buy them, much like Ferrari and other supercar manufacturers sell high end cars by invite only... to make the customer feel special by overpaying! :D

    WTB Looking for first pin - Kingston, Ontario

    My advice is to read a lot on this site to get an idea of what specific pins should cost. There are lots of great people on here that have decades of experience, and their advice can really help to not get burned on your first pin by someone flipping a project. The best advice I received was...

    The Tragically Hip

    We were up at a friend's cottage in the Kawartha Highlands watching it Saturday night... The thing I'll remember most about it was going out on the deck to talk with some friends, and noticing that you could hear that every cottage on the river was watching it! The music from the broadcast was...

    New to pinball. Suggestions?

    Just have patience... If you can have the patience to be able to browse for a few months, you'll do fine. I have to agree, though, go play the pin firsthand. And don't buy a project for your first pin. More senior members of this community gave me that advice a few years ago, and I'm glad I...
