Kartattack sydney pins...
« on: March 20, 2009, 06:22:28 PM »
Damn..I thought I was overdue a trip to Kartattack to play some pins....so off I went today...

DAMN

heaps of pins in there...and even 2 competition pins....
Not one of them was worth putting 5c into....
EVERY one of them was stuffed...not working at all...gobble up coins...flippers not working or piss weak...ramps and switches not working ect...
I will never return....what a waste of time...If i want to play some good pins I will just go in the garage from now on...lol

Was there a phone number on pins somewhere ?

I'd call the Op and offer to buy his "project" pins  ^^^

Operators like that certainly don't help keep the pinball dream alive

Sounds like the available coin is that low they can't even be bothered with servicing them... really sad. Sure, maybe if they worked right people would come back, but I suspect it's more that they just aren't played enough even when working, so the op lost interest.

They don't deserve to be Operators.

It is a real shame if they aren't working - no encouragement at all for the younger generation to have a go, and no good for those of us who are looking to enjoy a few games either.
