Frank's Pinball

This is my Diner.

It sits in my garage. It is my only pinball.

I obtained it in the summer of 2004. Cosmetically it's fair. There are some large

scratches on the side of the cabinet. The playfield has three spots of wear, along the

upper arch and in the return lanes where the balls drop down from the wire ramps.

Most of the playfield is covered in what I assume is factory mylar. There are some

very small bubbles around some of the inserts. Mechanically it’s very good.

Here is the overall playfield. Sorry if the picture isn't very good.

The displays are very good except for one issue that seems to come and go. It will

occasionally show parts of an extra segment on all the characters of the lower display.

My guess is that there is a loose connection.

That's me, Dad. I keep the machine on the extra hard setting. Since this picture I had

scored over 30 million but the high score got reset.

It appears that someone had rebuilt this left ramp at some point.

From pictures I've seen it looks like there should be something red underneath there.

It's quite a nice job but sometimes can be a little tough to get the ball up there.

This is a reproduction plastic I obtained from Action Pinball.

This plastic really needs replaced. Was cracked in three pieces and repaired.

The slings are really beat up.

Even without bikini clad women Diner has one of the coolest backbox images.
