I don't suppose anyone really knows the correct figure, but I'd be interested in hearing your guesses. Particularly so if you're basing the number on some actual figures (ie number of UK members on Pinball Owners or something)

How many pinball machines are there in the UK right now?

Couple thou?
Gotta be more than that including all the ones tucked away that we never see! I would guess electrocoin have sold that many in the past decade alone.
Pinball Owners ranks the UK at #7 with 2592 on record. Denmark coming in at #6 surprised me.
It's probably a multiple of that then - as i doubt the majority of owners actually use the Pinball owners Database.
So >5000 to 7500?
We'll never actually know the answer for this exact reason!

2.8k members on here. There will be more owners that are not on the forum. As a guess 4k people owning machines - average say 3 - 4machines each would be 12k - 16k machines, but the average could be any number so you'll never know how many machines exist in the UK in my view
That would make one hell of a show [emoji6]

Would it be any easier to estimate how many machines have been sold in the UK (with an adjustment for those subsequently imported/exported) and then deduct an estimate for numbers that haven't survived?
best surviving machine must be Defender. of the so few made most survive
on the other side where have the thousands of Eight Balls Six Million Dollar Man etc all gone
for a bit of fun I THINK the best selling pinball game in the UK of all time is not Addams but Space Invaders
agree or disagree?
other big UK sellers would be Harlem Globetrotters Firepower Getaway T2 LW3 DE Star Wars Capt Fantastic Fishtales ST TNG Haunted House Mr Mrs Pacman Flash Gordon. I know in the 70s the big distributors shifted a lot of Williams Big Ben
