pacmanmedic,

Hello.  Thanks for writing. 

Midland is not too far.  What do you have going on up there?  What's in your collection?

So many Michiganians out here.  We should plan a trip to the place in Brighton.  Any takers?

I'd be up for it!  I work nights, so I'd have to make arrangements, but that sounds good.

Never knew about that pinball museum...I must be slackin'...

Welcome. I am located around the Flint area and love the thrill of the hunt. It's been a while since a treasure trove of arcade goodies have been uncovered so I think we are due. Happy collecting.

Would like to do that one day. You're talking about he pinball museum? I see they are having a big 3 day pinball show this May. I didn't know that they are open every weekend? The only thing I found about them was the annual show. Would be nice to do that one day but not now. My whole house is sick and I don't want to spread it to anyone.

Well, I forgot to enable the "notify" and I see I have missed a lot of comments. The pin museum opens only once a year. It's a group of guys that have a collection (it's mostly one guys but there are others in the 'club') and I think they open once a year for tax reasons. The building is just outside Ann Arbor in the middle of nowhere. It's an old vfw the guy bought. They have opened it the last two years and this year will be number three. The first year was awesome. Last year was so so. I think they will sell more tickets this year so i'm not sure how it will be. They have a hell of a collection. They put everything on Freeplay. Worth checking out. I was at the private arcade just north of there too. Cool place. As far as the pods; I would love to come check them out sometime. Maybe during the pin museum weekend or if I find another game there. I see a lot in the Grand Rapids to Detroit area often. I like to make the most of the trips. If you find some info let me know. Weather permitting I am there!

I'm talking about the Brighton arcade.  They are open during the weekends.  It's simply called: "The Arcade".  I did not know anything about the pinball museum until the above posts and don't know their schedule.

Yeah, been to the arcade. I bought a couple games from the guy. Decent place.

[arcade jedi]

I've bought a couple from him myself.  What great finds did you have from there?

Hey Esqueleto,

Flint.  That's a stones throw.  I have a couple of buddies that live in Grand Blanc, so I'm up there on occasion.  Maybe we can meet on my next trip up.

Thanks for the "welcome" message.  Seems like a pretty nice sized local community that we have here in MI.
