Just got back from a holiday in the States with my family and here is a list of the pins encountered along the way. Didn't go out actively seeking them (except the PHOF) but if I found an arcade I had a look
San Fran - Stayed in North Beach and found a MET in a bar 5 mins from the flat. V Good condition but turned down so low you couldn't hear it. First experience of MET and not that impressed. Listed on Pinside.
Morrow Bay - Found this sad MM in the only arcade. OOS and the flipper stuck up with two balls sat on it.
Las Vegas -
New York New York, a nice row of modded Sterns except WWF. All in great condition. Played WWF for the first time and not impressed, and Mustang which was enjoyable. Had my 2nd go on MET which this time was great. Turned up loud and very enjoyable.
Excalibur, 3 good condition Sterns again ( IM, TF & Avengers) and all with MODS and a Sega SP. They also had a Star Wars Battle pod.
Pinball Hall of Fame , Great place even if it cost twice as much in taxi fares than I spent playing. Had a go on the Pinball Circus which I thought was unusal but really enjoyed playing it. Played Kiss for the first time which again was surprisingly good. More goes on MET, played Waterworld (pants) and a few others. Quite a few machines turned off and a GnR with the worst playfield I have seen (worn) but overall machines were in good condition. Good couple of hours well spent.
Anyway, if anyone is off to Vegas its worth a visit to the places above. Looks like a MET could be on the want list
