This is the second episode in my beginner series. Non beginners may enjoy this episode as well. In this episode, I talk about EM pinball terminology and anatomy. These terms are not exclusive to EM pinball and are good to know for pinball in general. Spoiler…this is part 1. The next episode will be part 2 and will cover terminology related to the inside of EM pinball machines.

I reference the IPDB pinball glossary in this episode.

This is the first episode in my pinball spotlight series, I talk about Drop-A-Card (1971) and Pop-A-Card (1972). I cover some of the main differences between these games and a bit about replay vs add-a-ball pinball machines. Pop-A-Card was my first pinball machine and I talk about getting it and some of the tasks that it took to get it going after years of disrepair.

This is the first episode in my beginner series. Non beginners may enjoy this episode as well. In this episode, I talk about pinball maps. Finding pinball machines on location can be a challenge if you don’t know where to look. The pinball map app will help you find pinball machines near you. Pinside.com also has a great pinball map.
