    Did you find any of the old USA vs. Canada rod hockey games under the big dome?

    I agree. Always liked the Gottlieb games much better than the Williams or Bally. Less spongy feel, not too much glitz.

    Fucking loved that KISS machine. Buddy of mine bought that one and Wizard and restored them. Great, great times.

    Jonesy, go look for a Bobby Orr machine.

    Do you have to put quarters in, or is it rigged to give you free games?

    First off, shottie, no Jacks Open in my travels. But now I know you're at least curious, I'll keep my eyes open. I think I might get into the pinball restoration business.

    Rambler -- have definitely not seen a Stones one. Does the backglass have Mick in a crotch-hugging jumpsuit, open so you can see his chest; he's, like, front and center, with two members of the band on either side of him?

    If it is, that's 1979, Bally. Something like 5,700 units made -- so it'll be tough to find, but not impossible. (There were 17,000 KISS units made, just by way of comparison, and regarding the relative awesomeness of each band.)

    That backglass, if it's in good shape, might help a restoration, though. I'll see what I can find out.

    And platy, you can just open the front panel and hit the little lever the quarters bounce into. So it's not rigged, but it can be jiggered.

    My friends will have to bring quarters.

    Read Shelby Foote's The Civil War -- all 8,000-plus pages of it.

    Quest for ... Fire?

    And Jones, I see a cry for help in the original post ...

    Cialis can cause a condition called priapism, when an erection lasts for more than two hours.

    (Cue Jones riding his bike through down an idyllic country road, ending up at a Cape Cod-ish dock ?? where he embraces his KISS pinball machine with his U of Guelph Land's End-like sweatshirt, some Khakis and bare feet).

    If chronic priapism persists, consult your doctor if you suffer from this condition.

    Jones: I have genital herpes and priapism!
    Jones' KISS machine: And I don't! And we're going to keep it that way! That because Jones kneels ... before ... the ... God of Thunder! And rock 'n rolll!

    Take Cialis!

    (Cue Jones and his KISS pinball machine sitting in some rusty-ass tubs overlooking, I don't know, the Welland Canal or some such Canadian site)

    Ace Frehley rulez hard. That is all.
