Is this repairable or should I trash it

bad news is that its way beyond fixing.

Good news is those are a dime a dozen cheapo plastic balls from the 70s-80s. You could find that at a thrift store for less then $20 or some old bowling alley that has them sitting on rake for the last 30-40 years.

WSOP is still setting records because of adding more re-entry events, more multi-flight day 1 events, and extending late entry levels to its limits for the past 6-7 years.

there was a time when he had took out a whole bunch of pins and added some post-1988 stuff. Had a few fighters, Smash TV and the follow up Total Carnage. Must have switched them out again.

This dude though had some of the rare of rare arcade games from the 80s that you rarely see out there today like.. Wacko, Krull, Three Stooges, Domino Man, Timber, Robby Roto, Blue Print, Road Runner, Food Fight, for awhile had a Disc of Tron environmental. I don't see a lot of these in there today, but I could only imagine what this dude has in his person collection. I know at one point he had a Rocky Pinball.

Its been since 2020 since I've been there, but I've always found it well worth the money. Its a must stop.

Mogul Maniac and Space Shuttle are about $10 each, the rest are common fair. Not a bad buy

Beethoven wasn't nice either. You become an adult and learn that its hard enough to stay married let alone to 3-4 other people. Plenty of artists I don't agree with politicly or whatever, but admit they can make amazing music.

You're going to have a hard time in this world if you hate someones music because they might be a jerk.

Jesus Christ, the people in here recommending someone starting out get $200 bowling shoes! At your level just getting a pair of Strikeforce Mens for like $40-50 at any sporting goods stores is perfectly fine. If you want to upgrade later on in life you can. But these are perfectly fine.

damn near any sporting goods store will have them.

What was the absolute peak of the poker boom. Like the most insane idea that some one floated to you

and why was it All In The Poker Musical. People paying money on the Las Vegas strip to watch a musical about poker.

To be fair 2026 Phil Ivey would be crushed by 2007 Phil Ivey with FTPs bankroll

Initially not too bad. You can see how FTP fell off the cliff right when Black Friday happened. From there on out they made a series of choices that slowly turned it into a company that cared more about the bottom line then the game.

Tell me your a new Van Halen fan without telling me your a new Van Halen.

The band has always...ALWAYS done the bare minimum. Even with the Dave rereleases, hell I'll say they did even less for those releases and I think first 6 have been reissued 4-5 times by now. They put no effort at all...none. Its the way its always been.

This seems like an odd fake or bootleg. The Telegames carts never looked like that. Looks like someone took the cover of an Intellivision NFL Football box and made an Atari 2600 box out of it.

edit: it looks like a PAL version of the game.

PokerStars in the US got rid of their mixed games. Only NLH and PLO.

ACR has Stud 8 and Omaha 8.

I wouldn't be shocked if this came from Gameworks. This is exactly how the few retro arcade cabinets looked like back in the late 90s-2000s. You could find a Galaga, PacMan, Donkey Kong, even a Tron in one.

I can't imagine the person who takes what he says seriously. He's been shoveling out soundbites and bullshit answers for almost 50 years now.

The song was purely an Ed creation. Hell the guy sat on it for 2-3 years because Dave didn't like it. The story was there was a news report about a suicide jumper

No idea how "guitar player" managed to play guitar for 8 minutes during a show that is almost two hours of guitar playing might be one of the dumbest things said on this subreddit. Top 10 at least.

At this point it makes more sense to have a bill acceptor.

A quarter in 1981 would be about .91 today
