@JulieSqveakaroo saw my 1st bingo pinball machine in the wild

for me it was like that one scene in fantastic mr fox with the wolf

i almost held up my fist in salute -- it was so beautiful *_*

also, rare proto of taxi, bunch of weird wide tables from early 80s, a banzai run, a theater of magic in perfect condition, and so many antiques

@zebratron2084

I have emulations of many of these tables... but I miss the real things.

I can't hip engrish into an emulation...

@zebratron2084 @JulieSqveakaroo Oooh, the Marilyn Monroe version of Taxi? They have one at the pinball mine my love and I expect to go to tomorrow.

Exciting teaser report on the spot though.

@Austin_Dern @JulieSqveakaroo Yup! Though oddly... I'm not sure I ever saw a Lola table! The one in my hometown arcade was a Marilyn, I could've sworn...

@zebratron2084 @JulieSqveakaroo I hate to say but I have started to wonder if there was a popular after-market kit to change Lola 'back' to Marilyn. I haven't *seen* this, but all I see of converter kits is what's right up front at shows or what I overhear on pinball podcasts.

@zebratron2084 @JulieSqveakaroo (Not to say either table you played wasn't a prototype/early-model. I'm trying just to think of an instance where I definitely played a Lola.)

Oh, do have a friend with a prototype Circus Voltaire, one with a really weird alternate ruleset. Biggest difference is the timer on hitting the ringmaster, so if you take forever you get very few points, or even have to re-raise it.
