If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

Wow! Do you think the cardboard is to stop fade from the skylights?

A guy on pinside put out the word that he was after some fairly hard to find low production number titles.

One of them was Mystery Castle by Alvin G (500 units) which he picked up from the Pinball Ranch shown in the vid at the 5:30 mark.

The owner allowed him to film the inside of the converted barn.

Apparently this vid is only a small portion of the total number. There were well over 1000 pins in total.

Amazing to see so many games in the one place .
Seeing all those backglasses just reminds you of all the great pinball artwork that was created over the years.
Imagine the noise if they were all being played at the same time
I need more room ! and more $$$

Doubt that many machines could possibly all work at the same time.

That is awsome,it must take a hell of a long time to build up a collection like that. i wonder how fast the electricity. metre would be spining with them all on at the same time  %.%
I'm not cranky, I just want MORE pins!
