Kitzbuhel Pinball Museum?

[Mfresh]

Just heading out to Austria and noticed on Google maps that there's a pinball museum close by in Kitzbuhel. Anyone been there or know anything about it? Could be worth a visit...

I went to this place and it's... amazing.

It's a big basement of an industrial building, and inside the owner, an eccentric but friendly guy called. Christophe, has accumulated over 100 pins, plus about 6 jukeboxes which are free to play, and various arcade machines from the 60s and 70s.

It's free entry, there's a fridge with beer that you can take and pay for later, and all games are 0.5 euros for between 2 and 5 or 6 credits.

There was only two other people there when I went.

Worth a visit if you're in the area






Here's Christophe:

i like him. i wanna retire and be him.
did you get his back story, is he independently wealthy and this is what he does for kicks? or a lottery winner following his dream? presumably since it's free entry and practically free play, he doesn't need the money. i see they're mostly older games, but still 100 of them, and the rent and rates on a big basement must be the equivalent of tens of thousand a year, surely.

I plan to do a phone interview with him to get his back story.

What I do know is that he got in to pinball two years ago and has but up his collextion since then. All EMs. And also he is Christophe "Boogie Wolf" Steinbach, a pop pianist. (You can google him)
