newsnot: the last time I played regular pinball was at the Varsity lanes. 3 games for a Quarter and free games with high score or a match number. a bottle of Coke was a dime and a bag of chips was a dime also. the other kind of pinball I never messed with too much. the only time I ever tried it was at the old 7&6 Truck Stop outside of East Liverpool. National Lanes had some good machines too.

dayton was not a great pinball town. don't know why?
maybe because people loved to bowl so much. it is too bad bowling has declined so much.

I remember a pool hall in the Forest Park Plaza (Northtown) that had a pinball machine that paid, can not remember how many points, would try to win 5.00 dollars to go skating across the street on Nottingham Ave. (Church there now!)

thanks bigbob, now I remember it being called Winks. Somehow, most of the time I would win enough to go skating, and see my childhood girlfriend who's dad owned the Rink.

Abney - did you ever know a girl from the rink on Knottingham about 1966-69 named Terri Bray?
I wasn't a pinball person - but like was mentioned, I did bowl at several lanes around town.
Now the Diamond Club had one of those bowling machines that you slid a chrome hockey puck instead of a ball and wire sensors registered what you hit. I played that a LOT.
