My high score on "Playboy."

Looks like I won a free game:)

However, I missed knocking WES out of 5th place by just 35,000 point, doh!

Another shot of that Jack-bot/Congo.

Marlin rolls "Duck Hunt" out of the way.

Eric and Marlin unpack some parts.

The giveaway pins, Grand Prix and Flash.

Gene Cunningham, owner of Illinois Pinball and most licenses to past pinball machine manufacturers, has arrived. Look closely behind him, and you will see a giant 15 ft. Ryder truck. Guess who that belongs to?:)

From left to right, Eric Selak, one of the show's organizers, Jeff Lawton(AKA The Bingo Guy), my digital camera with Bogen tripod, and Gene Cunningham. I used one of my 35 mm cameras, since my digital camera isn't good at wide shots. Be sure to click on any of these pics to enlarge them, so they can be seen a little better.

Gene, Marlin, Steve, and the Nickelodeon/Centaur owner, Joe Hilferty, stopping to look over this really nice Centaur, with zero playfield wear, as far as I could tell.

The game worked throughout the whole show as far as I know, but there might have been a loose connector somewhere, since the displays started flickering not long after the game was set up. Still, one of the nicest Centaurs I have ever seen.

Here's a 35 mm shot of the playfield. Again, zero wear, far as I could tell, which is rare for this pin. Also, if this was an overlay, I couldn't tell. It may be the original playfield, untouched.

Like I was saying, zero wear, except the drop targets. Normally, there's bad wear right around this bonus area, especially since Centaur lets the balls roam around the playfield during attract mode. Consequently, it's very difficult to find a nice Centaur playfield.

 

Rerubber the playfield, replace the drop targets, and you've got one of the nicest Centaurs out there.

Here's another closeup. Pardon the flash.

Jeff Lawton unpacks his bingo pin.

 

 

All the while I was saying there was no way that truck was going to make it. Hmm......guess I didn't quite have the largest truck there:)

 

They brought Getaway, Power Play, and Road Kings.
