Got another pinball machine
« on: August 26, 2013, 11:38:49 AM »
Just picked up my third pinball machine this weekend. It's a nice EM from Gottlieb, Card Whiz. I've been playing it all weekend and my dad even came over and liked it enough to keep playing a few games on it. He doesn't really care for my "newer" ones but this one seemed to be OK for him.

It's a pretty basic game where the goal is to knock down all of the drop targets (bigger points for getting jokers first) but it's harder than it appears. Despite the simplicity it does have that one more game thing going for it though.

I think I might be picking up a couple more of these older game here soon and getting on with starting to build my own.

So how do you buy all of these cool things while having 4 kids? 

Oh that's right... I am the one with 4 kids... never mind. :)

We covered that in another thread.  Something about he has a pile of money and I have a pile of kids or something.  I don't remember the exact details.

And the funny thing is that even though I believe that to be a cartoon version of a Honda Fit, it looks very close to my WRX hatchback too.

I forget Ober, do you drive a minivan?

On a side note. The pinball machine actually fit in my WRX too. I think I impressed the guy I bought it from with my Tetris skills getting it all in the back. I was a bit nervous when we started putting everything in there that the backbox wasn't going to work like I thought. And these older ones are a bit easier to move too which is nice.

Nope.  My wife won't allow it.  I drive a Fit to work and we have a CRV otherwise.
