Preparing for the State Pinball Championship

The Idaho State Pinball Championship is January 19th. The top 16-ranked players will compete, playing a private collection of machines. I am one of the top 16 – my husband and daughter will also be vying for the title. The machines need to be in tip-top shape for the competition, so Treasure Valley Pinball members have been giving them tune-ups.

So many wires and pieces and moving parts. A lot can go wrong.

The glass is removed and the playfield propped up for access inside the cabinet.

Alligator clips and forceps. Tools of the trade to repair pinball machines.

Repair expertise is a constant learning curve, along with learning to play the game.
