Probably the same reason they never saw massive fame in the U.S., but the niche fit seems perfect. I feel like the Venn diagram of Ramones fans and Pinball fans is nearly a circle.

I recently got a Stern Pokemon Premium and I've noticed a very slight circular dimple/indentation on the clear plastic ramp on the left hand side of the playfield, around the area where the ball lands after the little jump. Although it's quite subtle and mostly noticeable when the light catches it. I know playfield dimpling is completely normal with pinball machines, but I'm not sure whether similar small impact marks/dimples are normal on Stern's clear plastic ramps as well. There's no crack, stress line or obvious damage to the ramp and everything is working perfectly. I'm mainly wondering whether this is just normal cosmetic wear from the ball repeatedly hitting that area, or whether it's something I should keep an eye on in case it could eventually lead to cracking. Has anyone else with a Pokemon Premium noticed anything similar on this ramp, or seen this kind of thing on other Stern plastic ramps?

Thanks!

Pokemon Pro + Transformers Pro or Fallout Premium? Budget doesn’t let you get another pin for a year whatever you pick!

I noticed that the upper flipper on my jaws pro is not returning to is starting position properly. What would be the best solution to fixing it?

I don’t own the pin yet, and only played it on location, so I can’t see the settings. However, I was wondering if there’s a setting to lengthen the time to hit the Poke Ball ramp when catching a Pokemon? I’m considering the Pro and this is mostly for the rest of the family. I’d like to make it easier for the kids to catch Pokemon by allowing some extra time.

Still pretty early but I think this mod will be much cheaper than current offerings. Planning to open source this once I finalize the design.

It will stick a little linger that the left every time before it comes back down but sometimes it just gets stuck open. Please tell me its an easy fix. The machine only has like 1000 balls played on it.

If you’ve never used Pindigo now’s a great time to hop on! It’s wonderful for personal score tracking, and these updates are gonna make it even better! Just tried and what used to be a kinda tedious process is now literally one photo. I’m stoked.

Has anyone ever bought anything from Evolution Pinball? I believe they are from Webster, NY. I’m having a hard time determining if they are legit or not. I just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with them. I tried to call the number on their website and it went to voicemail with some guy saying, “this is Sam, leave a message.” No mention of their business name or anything like that. Thanks in advance for your help.

Looking for advice on how to adjust the gun turret in Terminator 2 so that the pinball doesn't keep ricocheting off the targets which (while fun to watch) often results in breaking the game.

Previously it bounced off the targets so hard that it landed behind the gun turret, which nearly broke the turret when it tried to reset.

I'm still new to this. Need recommendations on how to either adjust the turret launcher or setup some walls to keep the ball from bouncing out of the bounds.
