Welcome!

Welcome to our pinball blog.

In January 2007, we purchased a 1989 Williams Earthshaker! pinball machine from Amusement Depot in Manassas VA. This was supposed to be Laura's birthday present, and, while she certainly enjoys the game (I'm sure she'll post her own thoughts), I have at least as much fun with this as she does. It is the best gizmo I ever had.

Laura got the idea from Issue 8 of Make magazine. I wonder how many pinball owners read this magazine? You're all makers, I'm sure, since as this blog will show, owning a pinball means fixing a pinball.

So I spend my days up to my elbows in pinball guts.
