Yes, invaluable resource. Also the Shaggy videotapes (This Old Pinball), and Steve Young's pinball resource. Good to know there's another pinhead out there. If you do wind up getting an old EM, let me know. While I'm not great, I've learned quite a bit.

I actually have more fun tinkering with the old things than I do playing them. While both my cabinets are in bad shape (both were rescues), I pride myself on the playing fields - both are very smooth and fast. Both games are set on hi-tap, with all new bumper and flipper coils.

There is nothing like coming home from work and grabbing a cold one and banging out your frustrations on a great game.

Here's a pic of my Super Score game:

what's that big round thing in the middle, between the flippers ?

Yeah, your Super Score PF looks very clean indeed, as does the backglass. Are either repros, or original? They're very nice vs. the cabinet.

I have just an 8/10 backglass for an Apollo, to keep the faith. If nothing else, I'll frame and hang it. That old EM was the first pinball I ever played. And played, and played - spent all my bowling-scorekeeper tip dimes on that machine as a kid.

My four pins were all acquired in excellent condition (and the RFM was NIB), so my goal is to keep them that way. The CV is a German reimport, still set up for Deutschmarks, which fortunately made the trip back with no damage.

I also like working on them, but not more than playing 'em. Have all the Shaggy videos and have spent my share with Steve Young. It's good there are so many people willing to make a living (?) supporting an antique hobby.

My Ms. Pac-Man sound is dead, as is the Tempest video (a very common problem with those), so I have projects in the queue.
