Congratulations to Michael G. for winning the November 2012 KCAPA tournament at Pizza West. Don B. placed second and Stewart C. placed third.
We had 24 players, full results can be found here.
Fingers crossed, I’ll have Jurassic Park fixed later today.
The Kansas City Star had a lengthy article on pinball featuring you know who. It was published in the Sunday Star Magazine insert of the September 9th edition of the Kansas City Star.

Yes, it is April Fool’s Day, but no jokes here. I received a call to repair a pachinko machine. I pretty much focus on only pinball machines, but hey, why not?
I was called to look at this game in the owners home. It was in nice overall condition underneath all the dirt and grime, however it was beyond the point of being fixable in a day.
I’m doing some more work I’m doing on my Bally Transporter the Rescue that was previously discussed here. I needed to make new decals for the game’s drop targets.
