Adam Ruben is the chap who is writing a book about the world of competitive pinball, and he is now involved as the presenter for a "big new science/stunt series" for the Science Channel which will be filming around November to March in Suffolk. (Pavlov Pinball did a feature about Adam a while back.)
Anyway, they would like to have a pinball machine on the set, and as Adam is based in the USA he doesn't know anyone with a machine over here.
So he was wondering if anyone would be willing to lend a pinball machine for a few months to be used on the set of the show. It would have to be an unlicensed theme for legal reasons.
Specifically Adam said: "Even if someone has a nonfunctional machine, I'd love to have it flashing its lights in the background. But if it's playable, there may end up being shots in the show of me and the other scientist hosts playing it."
He was once ranked 80th in the world, so he does know his stuff when it comes to playing pinball. The series producer tells me that the location of the set will be very secure, and any machine would be added to their insurance. They also say "there is a good chance that they'll be able to provide the lender a 'with thanks to' credit at the end of each episode, this can be discussed should anyone be able to help."
Anyway, if you have a suitable machine that you would be willing to lend, please let me know. If you have any questions let me know too and I will pass them on.
Cheers,
Paul
