Hi

Back from a day trip of the amusements around Paignton, Torbay & Torquay.

Only found 2 machines: both at Paignton pier

POTC - 1st time I have played this, thought it was a great game, even though very dirty, left flipper sticking a bit and the ship not working. Definitively now on my wish list.

Star Wars Ep 1 - It was in a very poor state, lots of bulbs out, weak flippers, and not a good game. RFM uses this technology so much better.

It is such a shame the operators do not look after them, then fill the arcades with penny pushers. Nice selection of driving games on the pier, even found an old classic machine and put a new high score on Galaga

I'm sure they had a Simpsons pinball party on Paignton pier in the summer

There was a TSPP in the Coppermine arcade next to Dawlish Warren railway station when I visited there the summer before last. Not sure if the arcade will be open this time of year.

It played quite well, although the leg levellers were missing so that it sat lower than a normal pin.
