John Dayhuff's 5th Annual 12 Hours of Pinball, Battle Creek MI 2007

In celebration of the upcoming John Dayhuff's 6th Annual "12 Hours of Pinball", Oct 25th 2008 in Battle Creek MI, Here are my pictures from last year. We had an awesome time. Thanks to John for opening up his mind boggling collection to random strangers. Can't wait to make the 7 hour drive for this year.

King Kong by Data East. One of nine produced according to ipdb. Yes, you can play it, although I thought the game play pretty much blew.

Attack From Mars

I drove round trip to Lincoln, Nebraska in 9 hours last Sat. to pick up this attack from mars. I've been looking for one in "player" condition for the right price for quite a while. Pretty good condition. The "Return to battle" insert is lifting and the mylar is chipped. The artwork is faded on the left side. But I've got to say "who cares"! It plays 100%
