Pins in the wild

Travelling back from Spain in the motorhome and came across this bad boy on a campsite in Valance south of Lyon. Needs a bit of work but played OK (unlike me) needless to say I tried to buy it from the campsite owner but didn’t get anywhere🤣🤣🤣

Came across these two yesterday in Jandia, Fuerteventura.
Didn't play Spider-Man (although I'm very fond of the game), but Ghostbusters (Premium?- had the ecto-goggles) played o.k, despite the Slimer mech being broken (just stayed fixed in one place near the ramp).
Both games looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 10 years unfortunately:-(
Was still nice to be able to play pinball for 10 minutes on holliday though:-)

Found a black Spider-Man in a hotel arcade in belek turkey, absolutely filthy and the flippers stuck up once pressed. Managed to get doc oc multi ball but pointless when the flippers don’t work. What a waste!

New place in York opened up I believe about an hour’s drive from Whitby - I’m sure @rosflip can tell you more. Played those pins in Whitby- as is often the case, Ref Funland in Whitby- was there last year- AIQ pretty much unplayable as not levelled, TAF turned off, GB played fine, T2 didn’t bother playing
 
On a recent visit to a Munich we went to Motor World museum and saw a lovely Flash & Corvette

Spacebar Arcade in Sunderland have a nice little selection of Insider Connected games with a digital scoreboard- Stranger Things is a Premium, the rest are all Pro’s, only managed to play a few games on Jaws and a bit of D&D, both played nice. Daughter is Stranger Things obsessed and is now demanding we get one- UV ink made it look impressive during the upside down phase, can’t believe Stern didn’t fit this as standard on the Pro (actually…. It’s Stern- I can believe it 😂) . Arcade itself was very good fun, reasonable prices - kids and their mates enjoyed it. Pinball machines running on Nayax type reader or with £ coins
