Another Addition For The Gameroom

So Mike was looking on Craiglist for any adds on pinball machines that were for sale. He ended up finding one add of his old pinball machine Sinbad. He got really excited because the price was pretty good, so he contacted the guy to see if he would take $100 less if Mike was to come pick it up this weekend. He agreed, so yesterday after Church we all made a trip out to Zimmerman, MN. It is about an hour away from Woodbury. Me and the boys ended up taking naps on the way up there and when we pulled into their drive way Mike wanted to make sure it was the right house so he was going to knock on the door before we all got out of the truck. When he was getting out the door, the license plate cover on one of their cars read "I'd rather be playing pinball!" I said I think we are at the right place. He still wanted to make sure it was OK for the the boys to come in so he went up to the door by himself. It was the right place and we all got out of the truck. The boys were so excited but we told them that their little twin girls were sleeping so we had to be quiet. He showed us to his basement and Mike walked right up to Sinbad, but I looked around the room and his whole basement was filled with pinball machines! All I said was "Wow!" Than Mike turned around and saw all the pinball machines too. It was Mike's fantasy place! The boys were pretty excited too and Jeff let them play a few of the pinball machines. Jeff actually had another pinball machine that Mike would love to get called the Theatre of Magic and when he saw that he got really excited again. He tested out Sinbad and everything worked great. Jeff and Mike got everything ready to go and they loaded it up on the truck. Mike even mentioned to him about wanting a Theatre of Magic and Jeff said to contact him when he is ready to buy. Mike says to me on the way home, we can fill up our basement with this many pinball machines! I said he could get his Theatre of Magic game and that was it! Three pinball machines and Ms. Pacman is plenty! We stopped at Justin's house to look at his basement because he got his carpet installed and his big screen for his theatre room installed and put together Callie's play area. It all looked great! He than followed us home so he could help Mike carry in Sinbad. They put it together and for some reason it wouldn't work. Mike had a worried look on his face and couldn't figure it out. He called Jeff for some help and he said to take a look at all the connections. They couldn't find anything. After one more close look Mike finally saw a connection that had completed fallen out. He connected it back and it was working again! All four of us played it for an hour. It was pretty fun! Mike put the boys to bed and went right back to playing. He ended up playing for awhile last night and got the highest score of 421000+. He even called this morning to see if I beat his high score. I haven't even turned it on yet! :) Below is pics of Sinbad. Jon's 6th birthday party should be a lot of fun with the new games! We might be in trouble too! Too many games! :)
