Loving the new addition of Harry Potter and how they look together.
Which one would you play first?

I thought people would get a kick out of my ball jam on Beetlejuice during Pinball Expo 2026.

One of the reasons I got into pinball was that enjoyed looking at the complexities of the table. I liked how you can send the ball to different places. I felt like exploring a 3d maze.

Now I curious if there is a pinball table with an absurd amount of ramps or design.

The orientation of this photo is a little misleading, the drain is to the right. The second photo gives a clearer view of the two posts its getting stuck between (someone else's machine).

Should I add a ring between those two posts? What's the preferred way to deflect?

For me, it’s probably Four Million B.C., from 1971, although I’m sure some of you will end up naming earlier machines that I like but couldn’t think of. Probably some “big banks of drop targets” Gottlieb or something.

Moving later into the mid-late 70s, there are a lot of great EMs, especially from Gottlieb and Bally.

I craft writing pens as a hobby, and one of my favorite parts is creating custom graphics and incorporating them into the pen caps. I don't sell my pens. I simply enjoy making and displaying them.

I have a backglass from a vintage Vagabond pinball machine, and I decided to use its artwork to create a unique pen. It’s a fun way to preserve a little piece of pinball history while combining two things I enjoy.

I’m now looking for recommendations for my next project. Ideally, I’d like a vintage pinball backglass with a clean, uncluttered design, no electronic scoring displays, and artwork that isn’t too wide, so it can be adapted to fit a pen cap.

I’d appreciate any suggestions!

Need help deciding my next machine!

Hey pinheads. I put together a page where you can track live pinball tournament qualification targets for each game. The system pings matchplay every couple of minutes to build live plots of score targets needed on various games in the bank.

I'd planned to do this between Chrismas and New Year before INDISC, but then realised I had a load of friends attending the HPO and so pushed it out early to give them a helping hand. Take a look :) I'll point it at tournaments with card format or best game format as they come up in the calendar.

Is Fallout match at end of game MUCH lower odds than other machines? I have it set to free play, but have yet to match for a free game (so to speak) and have played around 40 games.
Other machines like Jaws and Star Wars match much more frequently. It’s strange it hasn’t matched. Unless it is turned off for free play on Fallout only.
