Pacific pinball museum

Let me first start off saying THANK YOU to all the veterans who have served and those still on active duty.
I woke up this morning as the random thought thread will point out, my newly ferral cat slash domestication projuect took a sheit on my shoes this morning.... it was awful and 5a.m. Not going to ruin my day! I cracked open a brewski and went down the check list of things I should have completed the night before but got to...ugh...lazy "yeah thats it" the night before to shave shower get camera ready. My friend Willie was ETA 10-10:30am five hours and 2 wizard trophies later and I finally saved the queen on my BIG GUNS I was on FIRE! now to maintain this mindset...Willie shows up at 10'ish and I give him a briefing of my table since he last seen it THE DUDE APPROVES. We set out and stop for gas,then head to the show! We exchange pin'chat alongthe way to ease the awkwardness I guess? We get a lil'mixup in directions and back on coarse...BAM! We found it. Now parking Oh! theres a spot...TEAM WORK. We walked up on the back wich was the front to THE LUCKY JU JU the original pinball parlor.

after a 1 1/2 hour drive and a Dr.Pepper I got to take a Wheeze!
Aaah ok now where were we? ah yes PINBALL MUSEUM
As soon as you walk in the back to your right is a room decorated with framed backglasses.

and inside that room was all the modern pins youd want to play.

And to the left was a room emptied for the good stuff.


WHOS THAT!?

As you walked into the smaller room next to the buffet you were greeted by a BBQ conisuer...RUDY!

GET YOUR SELF A HWAWT DAWG!
and...for you DarthVonDoom

BK was beat worse than Id ever seen any pin EVER! you couldnt shoot up top once a ball went bellow..I'm sure I got the highest score as nobody played it

also in the room was...


every time I tried to play this game it would TILT out on its own before the ball left the ramp BOOoooo!

didnt play it

or this,

I did play this though and it was FUN! Real physical tabels no matter how old or crapy they are seem too bee fun regardles and almost the older the better because you know only a few humans on this planet have played it.

I played these at PPE so I passesd,

Accross the hall from the two previous rooms

was a room with 2 pinball machines PIN BOT
and SPACE STATION

In between that room and the main room was some old keychain sized pinball toys and some larger ones.

The Main room or front entrance was filled with the museum pieces, like wood rails, wedge heads and even the early bagatels and
'PIN" ball games.

The only games thant wernt FREE PLAY were these games.

COLOR DMD

But its good to have friends who have friends....free credits all day!
