My favorite Pinball Parlor was not in fact a "Parlor" but a Coffee Shop in Edwards Street Reservoir - "Delfino's". Dad owned it in the 70's - 80's, so I spent a LOT of time there. Picture this circa 1979 ;

One wall - KISS, Paragon, Space Invaders, Mata Hari, Star Trek, Nugent, Meteor, Harlem Globetrotters, Eight Ball

Opposite Wall - Bingos - Miami Beach, Key West, Show Time, Ballarina, Cypress Gardens

Front section - World Cup and a Continental 2 Jukebox playing tunes

Lineup changed over the years, but seeing these games straight out of the box as a kid was simply awesome.

Things turned ugly when Space Invaders Upright cabinets replaced the Pinballs slowly over time. Then the cocktail tables.
