Hoser Pinball Lounge

Machines

Three on the floor. More coming.

Williams and Bally classics, restored and dialled in. Three today, six to ten by opening night. Lined up the way a finished basement lines them up.

    Black Knight (Williams, 1980)

    Steve Ritchie's magna-save classic. Two-level playfield, that growling speech synthesizer, the most satisfying lock shot of the era. Doug paid too much. Worth it.

  • Funhouse (Williams, 1990) — manufacturer publicity flyer showing the cabinet and Rudy the ventriloquist dummy mascot.

    Funhouse (Williams, 1990)

    Pat Lawlor at the height of his powers. Wake Rudy up, find the trap door, hit the clock as it strikes midnight. Yes, the owner talks back to him.

  • Eight Ball Deluxe (Bally, 1981) — manufacturer publicity flyer showing the billiards-themed backglass and cabinet.

    Eight Ball Deluxe (Bally, 1981)

    Billiards meets Fonz-era cool. Iconic backglass, deep ruleset, the table that taught a generation what a multiball was supposed to feel like.

What's coming

The plan: six to ten machines on the floor by opening. Doug's hunting list runs from late-Williams system 11 through early DMD era. Pin·Bot, Fish Tales, Medieval Madness if one ever surfaces locally. Suggestions welcome. Restoration takes time.
