    OK so a new pinball league is starting in October and wanted to let everyone here know the details.

    Round one will be held in Waterford on Sunday the 18th of October. Practice is from 1pm until 3pm and the league games start at 3pm. Entry is 3 euro and there will be some nice food and stuff for 3 euro aswell (The league money goes to the people who run it and food money goes to me to cover the costs of buying and cooking it all :D)

    Its going to be held in my garage where I built my own games room this year. There should be 5 pins for playing on the day, I'll announce them sooner to the day and once they are all 100% confirmed. I'll have a few consoles hooked up aswell for some gaming goodness.

    Since its in my house I wont be posting the directions up here but rather anyone who wants to come down send me a PM and I'll send you on the directions.

    Hope to see a few A&R heads there

    Cool, any pics or will there be another dedicated thread?

    Ill post up a few pics tonight. Probably the roughest game ive ever seen in person.

    Might be investing in a rock tumbler and all just for all the metal.

    I got it cheap and have the room my garage to tip away at it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Heres a few pictures of the new SF pin. Going to need a lot of work but the pf is good and plastice are all good. Apart from Balrogs plastics that has a huge blister from a bulb underneath it that I can only assume was wrong. Power cord was cut aswell so havnt even turned it on. Kind of scared to really since it could be dead.

    The big damage was on the cabinet. People tried to move it with the backbox up. Must have taken some effort to break the timber because I had to chisel off the side that was attached. Its all fixable though.

    Boards all look to be good though and I already started stripping the PF.

    No more room atm and still have the unfinished poker cab (more on that later......)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton

    Just want to check again whos interested in coming to this so I can make sure I have enough food etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 586 ✭✭✭Is1ldur


    I'm interested Jack, but I don't know any of you guys on here. I also would not have a chance in a competition! Still dying to get a few games in on Theater of Magic. The only one of those I've ever played before was in Vienna, and the chest was broken!
    Don't think I've played any of the others.

    Ah you dont need to know anyone.
    sure none of us knew each other until last year really.
    All good heads:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Exactly what Mr. Brown said there, everyone is welcome.

    and about the competition, I'm pretty **** myself at the game so I wouldnt worry about that, its just more a laugh and an excuse to play pinball really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,146 ✭✭✭CathalDublin


    I don't really know anyone, met Dave a couple times, hopefully I should be going, can you PM me your address JB? With a new baby its hard to make a definite plan. Will I bring any boards with me? GNG?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Yeah ill send you on a PM in a few mins.

    Just getting everything set up for the weekend now.

    Have my giant CRT set up for some console action and just one more pin to be setup on the day

    Thanks for coming lads, great day.

    Too bad I'm not placing dead last in the rankings, being the host with the most takes its toll, even my girlfriend bet me haha.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 586 ✭✭✭Is1ldur


    I shouldn't have bothered with the Rugby!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭Shapey Fiend


    Did you get that Gofers table from an arcade in Tramore? That was pretty grubby when I last saw it.
