Pinball on the isle of wight

[domlouis]

So I am continuing my tour round the UK sea resorts and I am now at shanklin on the isle of wight. Normal arcade walk with the kids and in the smallest of them all, there are not one but two games. Taf and Flintstones. Would you believed it. Not managed to free myself from the kids yet but I'll make it my objective to report back once I have managed a game or two or three.

Is the Playbox amusements on the seafront still there? Worth a look, not pinball but really interesting classic machines, is or was operated by Swallow.

It isn't the same place. This is skilfully named seaside amusements. Hardly original. Had a closer look and what a disappointment. Filthy playfield. Credit dots. Didn't even put any money in as I thought it wouldn't work.
