Heading up to Leeds and Bury at the beginning of October and going to Arcade Club. Has anyone been recently, and remembers what pins they have?

Arcade Club Bury and Leeds
- Thread starter AndyB
- Start date
Leeds only has a few, Medievel Madness is the only one I remember from the line up, and they also have a Baby Pacman on the 1st Floor.
Bury always used to have a lot more but its a while since Ive been there so not sure what they have at the moment.

Was at Arcade Club Bury yesterday. Honestly I will not be going again until they do some serious work on the pins. The previous visit several weeks back wasn’t too bad. Yesterday around half were turned off and only BM66 played well. Even Iron Maiden had issues (top captive ball for MUMMY was lifted so not registering).
They do have a lot of pins but right now its not worth going if it just pinball you’re interested in.

I keep thinking I must pop to bury one of these weekends and try out the arcade club. Now I guess not. Better off sticking to flipout/ electric circus/SWL I guess.
Does Andy Palmer know?

Cheers for the replies guys. I last went to both maybe a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed both venues, played a mix of pins and arcade cabs, but I remember the Bury pins were a bit dirty, especially the Metallica. Hopefully they'll get some love before I head up.
I think there was somewhere on here that was looking after the pins wasn't there?

Electric Circus tends to be my go to for pins as it's the closest to me, but still about 1.5 hours away. Aiming to go this weekend if possible, and also Sanctuary Gaming Centre for their tourney.
Went down to SWL and lock down hit so had to cancel. Flip out is definitely on the cards, possibly weekend of Oct 9th

Current leeds lineup is iron maiden, woz, walking dead, Addams family and medieval madness. All in great condition a couple of weeks go
much prefer the leeds one to bury
I doubt it, and even if he did I don’t see it making a difference
Cheers for that. Looks like Leeds for the pins, Bury for the arcade cabsView attachment 147975

How many pins at Bury now? Last time I went it was about 16.

Leeds has a massive collection of arcade games too. Lots of modern stuff downstairs and all the retro games upstairs.
Oh yeah, I've been before. I just meant the pins might get more attention at Leeds, whereas if they're a bit rough in Bury I might focus more on the arcade games there
It was a few years ago when I went to Bury. As others have said the Pins aren't really looked after that well. If they can't/won't even level the Pins side to side then it shows they really don't care about them, and I don't just mean a little bit off, I mean they were so far off they were unplayable. Metallica must have been newish at the time I went as it was one of the few that played well, so much so it convinced me to buy one.
There is also the festive meet at the beginning of December
