Just curious if any of you guys like pinball? I'm a big pinball fan and recently got two machines, I've been wanting to get one for a number of years.

What are some of your favorite pinball machines?

Here's the two I have, I was lucky to get pretty good deals on both of them. Has anyone played either of these two?

The Tom Cat machine was really dirty when I picked it, I spent a good 10 hours cleaning it (this one was made in 1987), here's a pic below. It's odd, these these pinball machines are the only things I've enjoyed  cleaning, lol.

Not to bump an older thread, but I didn't feel creating a new thread was justified. I was listening to last week's podcast (still catching up) and I loved the pinball talk. I remember playing the Star Trek TNG table and (Ithink) the Adams Family table amongst others back when I lived in the UK.  Arcades are obviously not as popular anymore, and to be honest here in Podunk, USA the only places that have machines are weird little outlets in Malls--even then, no pinball tables.  

I guess I just want to find out more about pinball in general and where you are most likely to encounter tables.
 
Also, did anyone catch A Life Well Wasted's episode on the pinball museum? That was interesting.

Pinball is extremely fun to play when not sober, not matter what the de-soberer is.

I got one of these above my bedroom. My dad used to play it in the mornings and wake me up, but nowadays it just collects dust. Good times.

I think the last time I played a pinball machine was more then 5 years ago.  I want to play too, I just have no idea where the hell a pinball machine would even be.

Simple, yet entertaining for a little while. I like pinball games in video games. Sonic Spinball was fun back in the day, and it still is.

I like pinball, though I'm more interested in pinball software than actual pinball machines. There's a pinball game I really want to make but need to either learn how to program or find a programmer who's up to it as it's drastically different than traditional pinball.

I can play a game of pinball once in a while. I do fancy owning a pinball machine, and maybe an arcade cabinet one day.

@Jared: Nigga you best be joking?!? I had the exact F-14 Pinball machine in my basement for like 10 years and then my dad sold. I was pissed. The problem was that the flippers would jam or not work so we took the glass off it. I cheated all the time. I loved my pinball machine.... until it was GONE!

 I do. We have a Williams machine at my work place. It's got this old school bowling theme going on. It's good fun.
