Each Monday night Joe Tripoli opens the doors, puts on a BBQ and we all have a blast.
Admission is free! (BYOG) rock up around 6pm.
You can PLAY PINBALL, shoot the breeze, exchange ideas, show & tell, get advice, talk to techies/restorers/collectors, play arcades (if you must) play the latest Sterns, crank up a Juke, help the chef or whatever.
You can find the location here: www.amusements4kids.com.au
Below are some pics of last night's shindig . . .

After due consideration for your wellbeing and consultation with a team of surgeons and an immunologist,
it was decided that any form of new arsehole is contra-indicated in your case as the arsehole would reject you.
With age comes wisdom.
And patience.
Be afraid.
-
well done guys on having a great meet.
It looks like the beers were cold and the company was fun. Ya cant ask for more than that. ^^^
How did all of you like the Ironman ? !@#

Hello Ben
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Joe is in Melbourne for a week.
This Monday has been cancelled but play resumes the following Monday as normal.
Hope to see you then . . .
-
bummer
thanks for letting me know
will see you next Monday then ;)
-
As usual, pinball faith will be on monday 23rd Aug.
Just found out Joe has secured five NIB Spiderman Red machines and they're in stock. These are genuine Australian spec. ex Stern. Price is $8,250
See you dudes at the meet . . .
Bring your "A" games 'cos I'm back in top form. <.> <.> <.>
-
Joe had Avatar there Monday night.
Thanks Joe, good to play latest Stern game. That 3d translite is something
-
Last night the boys got a chance to see and play Stern's new Tron at Joe's.
By the time we got there, Joe had already blinged it out with plenty of blue LEDs and a few coloured ones in selected spots.
First impression is a VERY fast flowing game. Pops are located quite low on the p/f and are fed via the left loop (like FH) and a mini loop on the right. The spinning rubber disc which is revealed when the motorised standup bank retracts randomises the ball and sometimes flings it out faster than a bishop in a brothel raid. There's also a third flipper for the right ramp and that tight mini-loop; this adds much to the game.
Artwork is pretty stunning and the music and sounds are awesome (must catch the movie soon)
Overall, the boys were very favourably impressed with the whole package.
Thanks to Joe for letting us have a bash on this cool new machine.
Pics: (1) Some of the boys drooling
(2) Ledded p/f lit up
-
There a LOT of Blue going on in this game - still it looks FANTASTIC !
-
Nice one, would love to have a bash on one myself!
-
wow.. it loks good in blue..
the warm white of globes makes it look odd...
leds should have been done from factory
-
If done from factory LEDs wouldn't have cost that much more to start with, either, you would think. Plus they should last a lot longer than a globe.
-
Do these meets happen every monday or just select dates? Ive been looking for the address on his website but cant find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Cheers

Didn't know where to put this so I will put it right here && and help promote Joe from KIDS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN who provided the machines for state AC/DC championships and also a few more to play.
For those who aren't aware, two of the motley crew from PPCR that rock up every Monday and are gurus at pinball are going to national finals and I want to say -
Good luck to RALPH and GIBO with this weekends AC/DC national pinball championships.
Kick some Eastern Staters butt and bring home the goods.
I like friendly banter so I would like to see other sandgropers fire some canon fodder to the other states and wish their balls to go SDTM ! <.>
