I’m tellin’ y’all! Get your asses to Vegas and visit the Pinball Hall of Fame! I’ll be up there March 22-24 if anyone wants to see the Anthrax thrash-fest (sorry, I don’t know the actual name of the show) on the 23rd at House of Blues or just party through the weekend.
Pnball HoF is a must-see Mecca for any Pinhead. And it’s a non-profit organization, so it’s cheap as heck too. My buddy and I bought like 5 bucks of tokens a piece and were there for hours. I’ll put up the weblink again when I get to a PC.
Oh yeah that place is GRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT.
The family and I went there last June and I had a blast!
It just looks like some little lone whole in the wall building but you go inside and there you have found the holy grail of pinball!
They have a few vids too but the one I really wanted to play was down for repairs. Front Line. I’ve been wanting to play that video game since I was 5 or so years old but My parents would never give me a quarter for it!
I’d buy a cabinet if I could find one for sale!

@grmps - if you are still having trouble finding rubbers and bulbs let me know. I’ll see if I can scare up some. I don’t think you will have any problem. Rubbers and bulbs are pretty ubiquitous.
are the rubbers machine specific? or is it a one size fits all kind of thing?
Thanks If I can’t I may take you up on your offer.

Not exactly machine specific but not one size fits all. They come in different ring sizes.
This should be what you are looking for -

Go to google images and do a search for “Atari breakout”.
I interviewed Atari founder Nolan Bushnell on my last radio show…
