After a mad Saturday the original electric circus is no more
A collector loaded up a pile of metal parts to save them from scrap and 65 crates of parts now sit in our container with the 30 or so project games we couldnt bear to part with. Our main aim now is to get the older games working on coins and sort out the faults on the newer games that inevitably happen at a public arcade . Tommy and South Park both died at the weekend.
Star Trek TNG is top of the pins followed by Deadpool then AC/DC. To be honest the so called A listers are way down the list. 1812 is more popular than MM and MB

1812 winning out over MB - sounds like @Sgt GrizZ is choosing what's popular and what's not - next thing Popeye will be out-coining AFM.
Well, the audience from what I've seen is primarily non-pinball players so they don't go in starry-eyed for the 'big hitters' except for whatever they may remember from childhood. In the pinball side of the club, you can actually hear all of the machines so the Gottlieb sound design finally gets a chance to shine to through where it couldn't in most arcade settings - Class of 1812 attracts a lot of kids and adults because the callouts are silly.
The TNG on site is a gleaming example with Invisiglass (I don't know the specific brand), upgraded playfield lighting, the works. Combine that with the extremely recognised TNG IP and I'm not surprised it's top draw.
I'm sure there's a lot more interesting statistics that could come out with time. It's certainly not the same demographic as Tilt, Flipout, Arcade Club...
Also, speaking of 1812 and Popeye in the same breath - that's wounding sir!

(Looser comment of the year coming) I actually find the statistics of what games take really interesting. I Iove to know what people like to play and why 
I held an event last summer with 6 machines (1 very kindly donated by Phil for the weekend) and I was amazed that my EM Queens Castle on 50p a game took considerably more more than Dialled In and Cirqus Voltaire both on £1 a game. The non-pinball people seemed to be drawn to the weird clunks and noises coming from the EM and didn't seem as bothered by anything else. Looser comment over.

Not at all.. It's geeky stuff like that i'm also interested in!!
Passers-by are going to be drawn to the very-obviously-vintage appearance, and will stay for the 'clockwork' elements as soon as those make themselves known. It might also be friendlier for new players as most EM games are quite slow playing (shallow slope, less aggressive flippers.)
Gotta remember how things look to people who aren't stewing in pinball every day!

Haha. Nuneaton is well outside my theatre of operations [emoji3]
For the record though I'd def play 1812 over Monster Bash [emoji106]

@Sgt GrizZ - of course
Had a great time ( and plenty to drink ) at the club last night with @mark9 . A great venue with a good selection of machines. The place was surprisingly busy, lots of people playing the pins and vids. Congrats Steve and Courtney and good luck with the venture. Most of the machines we played had very generous replay scores ( we left plenty of credits on machines ) so get over there before Steve puts them up

Yes it’s a great place there

Beer and pinball for the win!

I cant post on forun events. Comes back not enough privelege.
I had that issue a while back, I spoke to Paul and he said to make sure to post it on the calendar as an event and it should work!
@steve brum
I told you how to do it...
Go into the calendar. Find the date and click on the "+" at the top of that date. Then you can add the details.
Only downside is that it needs to be done on a PC really.
If that still doesnt work then please let me know and i'll get it sorted!
That'll be the problem, I think Steve mostly uses phone.

thanks to todays guests. my family meal over ran so I was unable to win my own tourney this time (joke!)
Great score from Nick on GOT but not good enough to topple Waynes long standing Grand Champ. And a great score on AFM from Leo showing us oldies better watch out for the next generation of players coming through.
Thanks also for donating prizes to the club charity fund.
