Very cool place for those into older pins...

Post by cyroute »

I was at St. Peters Village this weekend and they had a village arcade full of older 60-70's pinball machines and a bunch of shooting galleries. It was nice to play all the older machines and we got out of there for less than 5.00 each. Below is an older post by someone who knows more than I do about pinball machines (I just like playing them!). If you ever get a chance to make it to PA and visit this place you will not be disappointed.

A new arcade just opened in St Peters, PA, off of Rt 23 a few minutes
from Pottstown and about 20 minutes west of King of Prussia, PA. It is
a players and collectors paradise and contains over 40 EM pins and
arcade games from the late 60's through the 70's! All operational and
available for play! I played such favorites as Jacks Open, Travel
Time, Bucaneer, Duotron, Super Soccer, Doodle Bug, Jack in the Box, Op
Pop Pop, Aquarious and Gulf Stream, all 2 plays for a quarter. I forget
all of the games but there were over 20 EM pins! Also a bunch of EM
shooting galleries like Bonanza, Shoot Out, Artic Gun, and Twin Rifle.
Also played a bunch of arcade EM's like Whirly Bird, SAMI, Flotilla,
Defender Gun, etc. All of the games are in perfect working condition
and look fantastic! Ther were over 40 total. Even saw a couple of
kidde rides and a crane, for the kids. There were also two or three
unusual vids - Wacko, Miway PlayTime, and Cosmic Avenger. The
business card says to call Bob at 610-469-0941 or hours and directions.
If you are in the Phila or Allentown area, don't miss this one!

Wow I can't imagine an EM pinball arcade, throw in a few ball bowler EM's and it would be a nice trip back in time.

They did have one bowler not sure who made it but my girlfriend was playing it shot a 166 on it. She said she liked it.
