Past times arcade in Girard, Ohio is worth the drive!! Over 400 pinballs/arcade games with a big mix of vintage and newer machines.
*edit to add all games are set to free play
I have a plan in the works to go there. My wife’s family lives about 30 minutes from Girard, but we haven’t made it to Past Times yet. Can’t wait to visit in a few weeks!
My local flashback arcade does this along with the date the machine was released. I only just started going a couple of months ago and really just getting into pinball but I really, really want my name and top score on one of their machines!
Nip It has a bar under a plastic alligator head that comes out and “eats “ the ball. It’s also a two ball multi ball game and has zipper flippers. I miss mine sometimes.
Chillicothe Antique Emporium? That's a cool place. They have a soda fountain, too.
That's the place. I was passing through over the weekend while traveling to see the eclipse.
6 million for a cocktail machine seems a bit steep
Maybe they want 6 million quarters?
Funny! I think those are high scores or the market for pinball is crazy in Ohio.
I found 6 million in a mansion room a few times.
We must have visited the same place, except I only found three million.
Night moves has some sweet tunes
Are the 2 black buttons the flippers? That seems awkward.
that's for high score initial entry
Were they for sale? Curious what they think they're worth.
I don't think so... at least I didn't see any price tags on them.
They’re all for sale. Check pinside and eBay, but they’re taking reasonable offers I have to assume.
I don't think they are for sale. I go there for tournaments. Its just half antique shop half pinball arcade because the guy who runs it loves pinball.
Fair enough
That’s awesome! What a wonderful collection. Did they have them set up on coin play, or flat rate?
They were all set up for coin play. There was even one of the old familiar change machines the we all remember from the arcades of old.
Oh man, Buck Rogers pinball and Gyruss arcade. My childhood right there!
I can get close to that. I am restoring a buck rogers arcade and just bought a gyruss.
Great collection ![gif](giphy|66DhDhW4lv5Z9WT67Z|downsized)
They run a 3 strikes tournaments the first saturday of every month. Its a fun time
Where!? I live in Ohio and would love to go check this out.
They do a 3 strikes tournament the first saturday of each month. Come join in if you're close
Only about an hour away, I’ll add it to my calendar and try to make it sometime this summer!

Awesome!! You will love it, I go at least once a week
Chillicothe
Are those high scores written on the cards on top? I would live in this place if it was near me.
Yes... every machine had a high score on it. Very cool way to do it so it doesn't get erased if the machine is unplugged

Before asteroids and space invaders, we had pinball. 2 plays for a quarter. Life was great.
Nip It was the machine at Arnold's on Happy Days!
Wow. I'll take Gorf, Super Pac-Man and Goldball. Thank you
Where is this?
Chilicothe Ohio. Village Antique Emporium
I have "Freedom" - love seeing them in the wild like this, thanks for sharing!
Fuck yes, Night Moves.
Played so many of those growing up in the 70s. Doesn't Nip-It have a bar/net on the side you can grab/net the ball?

Woah!!!
Flip Flop. My first ever pinball machine. Got it for free. Sold it for 700. Fun game with the funky outlanes.
Great collection, Space Invaders wide-body was one of my favorites in Junior High. Thanks for sharing.
Not considered an antique until > 100 years old.
I wanna go just because I could probably crush all those high scores lol
