Welp. Golden State Pinball Festival done been canceled again. F a Duck. F all the Ducks. Uncle Pinball has some thoughts. Hrrrm.
But today's good news was how my Noob bet paid off. 'Member that guy who had a Hollywood Heat he thought he wanted to sell? He's up to 8 machines and already fixing and flipping! Yeah, Baby! Plus, I might still end up with that HH... if I can talk HIS MOM out of it!
OMG Trident is so fun. And it's even funner with an Arduino Nano running new code!
Tim Arnold Haters can eat it.

Part One of a very wide-ranging pinball conversation with Kevin, aka @Caucasian2step! Longtime pinhead, operator, podcaster, respected reviewer. So much to talk about that we ran out of time and are going to talk again soon. We went close to an hour this time. Here's part 1!
Thanks Kevin!
Pitter patter, let's get at 'er! Quit dithering and asking advice and just dive in, baby!
There are just a few of the 20-something machines I've sold that I still pine for... sigh!
The situation at PHOF is desperate!
They could be gone by May 6, if we don't step up and help!
Also: Tim doesn't spend a lot of time on the internet.
And there will be Merch... eventually.
The PHOF need YOU! Tim is a legend and the Pinball Hall of Fame needs your support.

Part one of a wide-ranging interview with Tim!
Tyler is the guy who built that full size pinball machine out of KNEX that's all over the internet! He talks to Uncle Pinball all about it! So impressive!
Where TOTAN got the spinner. This machine sucked up my quarters like a vacuum in the 70's! It looks so simple and blah... But Steve Kordek is a genius!
NPA! New Pinball Acquisition! 1979 Stern Trident. Have you experienced the 2,3,4,5 drop targets? Four (4!) slingshots?! No left outlane?
Classic Stern weirdness! LUV it!
Yes, it is better than some commercial machines. Certainly better than them Zizzles!
2500 Downloads for Uncle Pinball! Thanks Boiz!

The only EM left in my collection that isn't a Williams. One of Ted Zale's last few for Bally. A real gem!
The BEST two-player. gambling machine ever?
Oh Boy, 1964, Steve Kordek.
More money went across the glass at the GSPF campground a few years age than I paid for the machine! Tommy Dollars!
Pinball shows are one of my favoritest things about being a pinhead. Bringing games to show is even more better! Plus: Pinside is just like one giant pinball show!
Cyclone is not only the best pinball ever, it is also a chick magnet!
And Uncle Pinball will brook no arguments. We don't need no stinking multi-ball!!!
"I really don't like working on Gottlieb EM's. His words, not mine, but I wholeheartedly agree! More scoop from Kyle Spiteri of Marco Pinball and all-around good guy!
WIDE Ranging interview, part two: Reverse Engineering Old mechs, working for Marco, more! We talked about so much, I can't even remember!

The title sorta tells you there might be a bit of rambling in this one, being my first real Friday in almost 6 months. LOL
The man, the myth, the crab! Tim Arnold!
I've been yelled at by Tim more than once! But he is still a pinball legend. And I got stories!
Part One!
Ranting about stupid stuff on Pinside. Who takes a gun to a pinball deal?
I'll just call my brotato, Lou!
Also: O-Din.
Pinside can have a lot of drama and obnoxious people, but... You can find the good pinheads if you look!
