    Need a shipping address in Detroit, any suggestions?

    Actually, #3 :oops: After C37 I quickly scored a Gottlieb Spin Out that I have not even set-up yet. El Dorado was to be my third and, for now, last EM. I love the art and unique gameplay between these three wedgeheads. Each has a special feature (animated back glass + bagatelle scoring on...

    Pinball Lifters

    This! I thought copper might be too soft, but these elbows were super beefy and fit around the exisitng tubing. If I had time and patience I would have found a better way.

    How to Build Your Own Playfield Rotisserie

    Nice! I've stayed away from building my own and paid $300 for a pretty nice table-top version that is solid and breaks down for storage, but I need a 2nd rotisserie and this is the best home-brew version I've seen. Might have to do it ;) Thanks!

    Shipping games to US addresses

    I looked into it. Apparently there are no Kinex locations right in Detroit that would accept a pinball machine. The nearest one is in Marine City to the North.
