PAPA 9 WORLD PINBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

PITTSBURGH, PA 

CLICK ON ANY PIC TO ENLARGE

As soon as I walked in, on the left, I saw pinball machines...

lots of pinball machines!

Sign in here for the tournament or pick a machine, drop in your quarters, and start playing pinball.  The tournament pins are clearly marked.

Pre-registration packages are on the right as you walk in the door.  Each bag is clearly marked with tournament name and number.   

There were a lot of pre-registration packages.

 Time to check out more pins.

 There were two or three Demolition Man pins in the building.  

 

"Cosmic Gunfight" is a rare Williams solid state.

Looks vaguely similar to Firepower.

Here's "Coney Island", one of Game Plan's first pins. It's quite rare to find working, and cosmetically decent.

Usually if you find one of these, the playfield is trashed, especially around the bonus area.  

...and in this corner, a Stern "Ali" pin, again something you don't see everyday.
