Pinball locator databases are available here pinballrebel.com, sternpinball.com, and pinballmap.com. A pinball locator for the United Kingdom can be found at Pinformer, for Sweden at Svenska flippersällskapet, for Denmark at Fonzy and Find A Pinball for other areas outside of the U.S.

You may also look for a local Pinball Club or League if you care to find other fans of pinball near you. Some club members will invite members to their private homes to enjoy their collection. Start your search at the IFPA Leagues page, look to see if there is a group near you on meetup.com, or use meetup.com to start your own. (Look to the San Diego Pinball Club as a guide on how to start a successful - with 200+ members - pinball club via meetup.com.)

Machine	Price To Play	Overall Condition

Road Kings	25 Cents	Doesn't play all that well, very dirty
Black Knight 2000	25 cents	Normal wear on Magna-Save, hasn't been cleaned in years, plays alright
PinBot	25 Cents	Broken Spiral for skill shot, plays decent
The Addams Family	50 Cents	Somewhat dirty, plays well

2.6 Massachusetts

Cinemark movie theatre, Hadley MA. As of this writing, the two games at the site are Medieval Madness and World Poker Tour. MM needs pitch adjustment; machine is set up way to shallow, making ball control nearly impossible. I may show up with a level and a crescent wrench next time. WPT plays well, pop bumpers a little sluggish.

TUlly O'Reilly's Pub, Northampton MA Lord of the Rings and Monster Bash. Both machines working well, MB recently cleaned and given a once-over. Tournament held every Sunday night!

Garden Cinema, Greenfield MA LOTR, South Park. Both working well, even though SP is a lousy pin.

Miller's Pub, Miller's Falls MA No Good Gofers. Decent. Outlane kickback sometimes unreliable, pops a bit less than they should be.

Route 63 Roadhouse, Miller's Falls MA Elvira: Scared Stiff! Plays pretty much like new.

Family Fun Center, Erving MA Rocky and Bullwinkle. Well maintained, almost new condition.

Packard's, Northampton MA Tales of the Arabian Nights. I haven't played this in a while; it was playing great last time I was there, but a friend tells me last time he was there it had flipper issues. Hoping they've done some maintenance, it's a great game.

Harvard Lanes, Harvard MA Pirates of the Caribbean. Like-new condition.
