Do we have a dedicated thread for this? @Paul - it possible to set up a map like on Pinside?

NOTE: Southend’s Adventure Island arcade has a Star Wars LE and a Ghostbusters - both in good condition and 50p per play. The SWLE was getting a lot of play, but not by good players (the replay was low).

Thats why i havent - it already exists for the UK :)
 
Thanks, folks. I’ve updated Pinformer where it was out-of-date. It doesn’t seem to have many people doing updates, unfortunately.
 
Updating pinformer would be a huge task and may best be done by an effort from all. I don't believe much has been updated in years.

e.g. both Funland near Kings Cross and Steve Brum's place in Nuneaton are completely missing.

All I did was flag the outdated pins at Brewdog Shepherd‘s Bush for removal and add the pins that are currently there.

The Southend pins were already on the database and correct.

I also need to flag the pins at Plonk Golf Peckham because it’s apparently shut. Plonk Golf at Hackney seems to be correct, but I haven’t been there since last year. There’s a new Plonk Golf opened at Borough, but I need to go there before I know if they have any pins. We might pop in while taking our boys to the Golden Hinde one weekend.
 
Electric circus shows but hasnt been updated in a while
One of those jobs that doesn't get around to being done!
 
I haven’t looked at Pinformer for at least 5 years. In theory it’s a great resource but requires us all to keep it updated and I’m as guilty as everyone else about not doing it

Wasn’t there another Europe wide one as well?

Does the new stern insider system automatically list the location of pins that have it installed?
 
It’s entirely possible that those are the only places that have bothered to buy the system. I’m not convinced the average op is that bothered about forking out more money on the off chance some players will drop a few more coins into the game.

Yes, it also goes - possibly without saying - that there are quite a number of venues without modern Sterns.

I've noticed a lot of London venues that have pins also tend to have old arcade machines (e.g. Pacman), and I've seen some pretty old pins on display (e.g. Dolly Parton!) at those locations - for that retro vibe!
