Pinball Club

[Tom W]

I would like to start a pinball club here in The Villages. I have 4 machines and have been in the hobby my whole life. Please get in touch if interested.

Thanks

[Pinball wizard]

Count me in.

[Stu from NYC]

Me 2 I think

[Polar Bear]

Sounds good to me.

I’m not the club starter type, but I’d be glad to pitch in and help. (I don’t own any machines.)

[redwitch]

Used to love pinball and was pretty decent. Doubt I’m good any more, but would love to relearn my skills.

[Nucky]

I would really like to participate.

I would really like to own one Pinball Machine and another Bar Game called Tapper! They financed my drinking career when I was a youngin. So did shooting pool. I stopped drinking in 1994 and found out that my skill was in the Bottle cause without being tipsy I had no game. I definitely like it better this way. Thank God!!

[StBernard1]

I’m interested, have an old Williams machine.

[wb2art]

I'm interested also.
Have a 1992 Dr. Who.

[Kgcetm]

I'd like to join. Worked my way through college playing pinball.

[linda2526]

I am definitely interested. I could us your help. I have a Rockola jukebox and can not find anyone who repairs them. Can you help?

[GNXGuy]

I’d be interested. in fact I just sold my old F14 and my restored old kiss pinball, a pachinko machine my slot machine and foosball table in preparation for moving to the villages

[Pinbalwz]

Been restoring and collecting pinball and old arcade machines for over 30 years. Been a part time Villager for 6 years but still have my collection in New York. Probably owned close to 300 machines throughout the years. Currently my collection is around 60 games spanning from 1940’s through today. Mostly 60s Gottlieb single player wedgeheads. Still trying to figure where they will go when I finally come down full time. Count me in for starting a club and very willing to help in the setup and administration. Coming down around November 5th for about a month so maybe we can have a meet up.

Also, if you have a machine that needs some repair or TLC I’m more than willing to help.

[lkagele]

Count me in. I've got a Lord of the Rings that's in good playable condition. Also have a project Devil's Dare in the garage that is in the process of being rebuilt.

I’m interested! I have a mid-70’s Bally Champ EM game. I just put on all new rubber, rebuilt both flippers, replaced two of four scoring coils, and did a bunch of debugging on the logic. Very playable now. Back glass art could stand restoration.

Please keep me posted!

I would love to get back into playing pinball. I think I still have my World Pinball Championship plack somewhere. I used to play all night on a quarter.

[Uphillputt330]

I’m very interested. I don’t have a machine here but have a Star Wars pinball machine in Michigan

[rmd2]

Don't have a pinball machine but would love to play!!

[kendi]

Looks like this will be a large club. One of the things I like about TV is the diversity of interests. Never would have thought of this one.

[Surf Daddy]

I know it is not exactly pinball. I have a PacMan cocktail table model. Was very popular in bars in the 80s, so I bought one. Where will this proposed pinball be located? Can we put machines there on a consignment basis? Sounds like fun.

[waltwl]

Very interested in joining

I have a Kings and Queens machine in excellent condition up north. The club would need a pinball room to make it work for all. I would donate mine for that.

Ok Tom......you're in charge start it up and I'll never miss a meeting.

[Pinbalwz]

I would be happy to help with the setup. I can bring down a project machine from NY when I come down in the first week of November. We can use if for repair and restoration demonstrations at the meetings. Taking it from project to working machine. Let’s set up a group outside of TOTV so we can exchange contact info.

[Tom W]

I would like to start the club, but need to figure out how to do it.

[Barborv]

Someone had mentioned in another post that the new first responders rec center has a room where they believe will be a pinball game room. I hope so. I used to play pinball all the time when I was a kid. Would love to play whenever the urge hits me. But started a club for avid players sounds wonderful.

[evluoma]

I am in....

Hows it coming in organizing the club? Any plans for a meeting in the near future?
Thanks,
Charlie

[Tom W]

We had our first gathering Nov 4th 2020. I think Covid and the election the day before resulted in only 2 showing up.

We had fun and I hope it will grow from there.

Love it! When I went to college I majored in shooting pool and drinking beer. It didn’t help took me 6 years to get a 4 year degree. Put the sauce down in 1984 I like it better this way too.
