My Pinball Gameroom - Krazy Karpet Arkade - Kalamazoo, MI

I noticed most of your machines say the date it was made. Mine do not. Do you have Home edition installed because none of mine have that.

[schudel5]

@X0XNighthawkX0X

I manually put those in as part of the Custom Message screen in the game. You have to enable the Custom Message option and then manually enter the info. The dates for the games can be found on the sticker in the cabinet.

Can I play sometime? I have been looking for pinball on kzoo

[Pinballpete007]

Very cool! Nice collection too !!!

I currently own 7 pinball machines and that alone keeps me very busy keeping them clean and running perfect. How in the world do you keep all those going?? Two of the 7 machines I bought were brand new so I've got close to $20K invested in my 7 machines. I'd be curious to know what 28 machines cost you???

[wickedquickss]

This is gotta be the best collection I've seen. took me awhile to post since after watching the video, I fell outta my chair, right in the floor. Just seems to have it all. I own 5 machines and 3 vids, Corvette, whitewater,batman forever, Dirty Harry, T2, MK2, Double Dragon, and Danny Sullivans Indy Heat. Hoping to step up to a Monster Bash soon.....you my freind have made me grin, wish I could witness this awesome collection in person

Oh my, a MM. You could easily sell yours for $10k right now and buy 6-8 more pins! I always found MM to be a bit simplistic anyway.

[boogies2]

Wow, let me wipe the drool of my chin :P

[murdew78]

WOW! Thats one heck of a game room!

[raiders1205]

I'm a fellow pinball enthusiast from the Novi, Michigan area. I would love to see your pinball collection in person and talk about our favorite games.

[MrArcade25]

WOW !!! You have a realy great gameroom !!!!

[elsquibbs]

I love the Lawlor collection. Very nice.

[HaikuAutomation]

Great collection! They all look as if they are in great condition. I have a Royal Flush as well, not quite as nice as yours. Love it, has 9 targets. Thanks for sharing your collection!

[TheWiiHackerz]

nice collection! I'm just wondering a few things I hope you don't consider the questions personal does one of those pinball tables use a lot of electricity? do you have them on 24/7? and does it put a huge dent on your bills to have them on?

[schudel5]

@TheWiiHackerz Each uses about as much energy as a TV. I only turn on the ones I am playing and leave the others off. When I have a party or have people over are the only times all of them are on. They are not on long enough to effect the electric bill at all.

[freezepop32]

awsome collection, i just purchased my first pinball Junk Yard July 8, 2020. im looking to get a couple more. how did you manage to get medievil madness?? that is one pinball machine that got me hook .

any advice one where to find good pinball machines for good price??

thanks for the tour.

[schudel5]

@freezepop32

I bought Medieval Madness about 7 years ago when the prices were much more reasonable. Best place to find games is from fellow collectors in your area. I get most of mine from the Chicago and Detroit areas.

[nlafavore]

It's "spinning disks", not "dix". But yeah, Simpsons Pinball Party is way too deep.

[Jimefunk]

I've played most of these, in visual pinball and on my PS3. You have all the great machines.

[Jimefunk]

Nice collection, you have all my favourites !

[bigcity1200]

Awesome game room... You put my 3 pinball games of Roller Coaster Tycoon, Monopoly, and Wheel of Fortune to shame!!!!!

[SuperT3rminator]

You love Bally...

[nlafavore]

Your FunHouse pin says the game is from 11/26/90. Getaway is 1992 and The Shadow is 1994. Your games probably say those dates.

[schudel5]

@nlafavore Yeah thanks I know. I did all those off th top of my head. There were several others I was off by a year as well.

[LS7Goat]

wow!!!! Awesome Collection!!! The whole Pat Lawlor Collection!!!!

[schudel5]

I am missing No Good Gophers at this time...

[brettybluevein]

@schudel5 and Family Guy, Nascar, Monopoly, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Ripley's Believe it or not, and CSI.

[w0mblemania]

Wow.

[stashyboy1]

damn............

[gentleuterus]

Holy crap! An amazing collection!

[Bluevegas]

Great collection Mike! Wish you were in CA so I could come by and play :-)

[superbrian1214]

im very jealous. im a huge pinball fan but finding machines anywhere these days is next to impossible,(thank god for williams greatest hits) and if you do they are in such bad shape they almost are not playable. which brings me to my next . do you have any trouble maintaining the machines?

[thunderstormpro]

Great collection, a lot of highly sought after machines, i have an earthshaker and a white water and i love them, someday when i have some more room i'd like to get a few more, i currently have 6 and maybe some more a list titles, check out my video if you have a chance

[excalibur2k4]

Very nice! Thanks for showing.

[vanhelsingaustria]

He dude!

That's a amazing collection!!!! Thank you for introducing it to us!

Greets from vienna!

[Jimjaycee]

Great looking, large pinball game room with lots of variety. My biggest problem is space. Thanks for posting this video.

[dadofducks]

I hurt my jaw picking it up off the floor after watching your video. WOW! Great collection. I currently have 10 pins in my collection and you're right, they do seem to multiply. Any troubles with your Attack From Mars? I love the machine, however, for some reason it automatically starts kicking a 4 ball multiball out when I strike the middle UFO target. Any suggestions and keep the vids coming!

[schudel5]

Sounds like a switch problem. The center target switch is close to the lock switch. Probably a broken or bad diode on either the row or column of the switch matrix that those two switches share. Look for a diode that has broken off. I plan on more vids soon...

[jmqrsq]

medeival madness was my favorite to play at EW =)

[Pinballpete007]

Awsome !! I have 7 machines and spend countless hours keeping them clean. How do you manage to keep all those machines in such fantastic shape! They look terrific ! !

[schudel5]

Thanks!

When I get the game in I strip it completely down and clean and replace all broken parts. After that, it's not much more than replacing bulbs, rings and adjusting switches. I clean the playfields every 6 months with Novus 2. Even still, I'll end up with a glitchy game. TZ has been a hard one to keep working right.

[ace3093]

Great collection! Makes my 5 pins looks like nothing.

[schudel5]

5 pins are still a great collection. You know you have to start with one to begin. I had 5 pins at one time...they do multiply!

[MrHitchcockFan]

WOW!  Awesome collection. I hope we see more vids on the pins in play.

[schudel5]

I may do that someday! Any game(s) in particular?

[Doriguin]

I would personally enjoy a video of Road Show. Im considering purchasing one before the holidays are over and would benefit from a video thats a little deeper into the game play then what Ive seen.
