#105 Black Hole. Make mine Day - The Classic Pinball Podcast
Dave and George welcome John Day to the show. If you like stories and pinballs with a twist you will love this podcast. John invited us to his home to talk about his collection. This is no normal collection when you hear the things he’s done to his games. The guys read some mail and pin happenings. Then its time to play some Black Hole. John takes us to play some unique games in his basement including EM/solid state Target Alpha. Rackem up! Bonus Feature: Highlights from Dave’s Memorial Day party and tournament.
