Stern Pinball Press Release

Pinball is alive and well!

April 17, 2006 - Pinball is alive and well! On February 4, Tim Arnold of Las Vegas, Nevada opened the Pinball Hall of Fame, a testament to the game’s life and legacy.  Tim’s museum has 175 machines spanning almost 50 years, and is part shrine, part museum, part charity, and part arcade.  Pinball enthusiasts and people just interested in the game are expected to come from all parts of the world to play and be a part of the Pinball Hall of Fame.

In a story in the Las Vegas City Life, writer Andrew Kiraly says, “In Tim’s view, pinball is much more than a frivolous coin-eater at the corner store, and that touches on the philosophical underpinnings of the Pinball Hall of Fame.  The world-view of Arnold and crew is, like many of the machines, cobbled together from spare parts: some social-service ethic here, a lusty appreciation for pop culture there.”

Gary Stern says, “The interest in pinball never subsides-playing pinball, pinball in street locations, pinball in homes, and pinball in Tim’s museum.   I have seen Tim’s games and they are really fun and interesting. Used pinball machines always have value.”
