San Fran next.....
 
I'm sure I don't need to mention this, but if you're in SF you have to check out Free Gold Watch - amazing collection. I'll be on the West Coast in Sept and it'll be one of my first stops!

Yup..... +1 for "Free Gold Watch" and a little walk to the left of the ferry terminal that takes you across to Alcatraz. At Pier 45 is the Musee Mecanique with, sounds lights and smells of a real Arcade :thumbs:

Played:
Kiss, Hobbit, Got, woz, mb, Tom to name a few and the star was Ghostbusters.... really loved it.

Thanks for the recommendation to visit the place :thumbs::thumbs:
 
Couldn't find any on pier 39, even though app says should be a fair few.

Played on an EM in a perspect box at the Expo on the Wharf.

A couple of machines, Pirates, Indy and an oldie at the vintage arcade ......

So not a good day pin wise
 
Lovely line up at NY NY in the arcade. As previously mentioned in fantastic condition and all with mods. Again enjoyed Ghostbusters and now on my wish list.

After a morning at NY NY, next stop was the Pinball Hall of Fame. Massive selection of machines, worth the visit, and my luck was in to play the rare Circus game and was able to get ball into clowns mouth at the top :)

Dan and I ended up playing Ghostbusters with a couple of Canadians who had just been at Pinburgh and in LV for a Star Trek convention. Julie from London, Ontario was kind enough to drop us back at our hotel. Great people in this hobby :)

Sounds like you're having a great trip, glad you enjoyed Free Gold Watch! I'm on a similar route in September as we're ending our trip in Vegas after starting in SF and then driving down the coast to LA. How late is the arcade open at NYNY? I've done the Pinball Hall of Fame before which is definitely on my list, but it's great to hear that there's a decent spot to play on the strip.
