Another less talked about advantage of the bigger cupholders... normal phone can fit in it! Unless you're rocking the Nokia 6100, you wont fit any phone in the original cupholders.

Good point!

The new Costco Barrington has hit the home game

Christened with a very ridiculous Straight Flush in a baby pot

If anyone around Indianapolis is looking for the Costco Barrington, they have a lot of stock at the Michigan Rd location as of this morning.

it is in lay topper for black jack topper.
$229 at store locally
$329 online.

Way better deal to get locally.

Anybody know if what kind of battery pack we can buy to Velcro under the table instead of using a ac-dc adapter to plug in wall?

 

[iLogik]

This is the one i got, works perfect since i upgraded the lights

An inexpensive battery option is a AA battery holder. A 2-pack is less than $9.

CostCo near Perimeter Mall in Atlanta had 6 tables this weekend. $229. I snagged the last one today. They said they are getting a few more in a day or two. They are selling fast but arriving at CostCo locations near Atlanta. I planned this out. I called two weeks ago and gave them the item number. They estimated they would get them on today's date but they arrived a couple days early... If you want one call your local CostCo and ask if they have item #1740653. If they say no ask if they are expecting any.... Thanks to everyone on the thread for giving me the heads up. I joined the forum because of you guys

I just wish the costco ones came with improved cupholders, then it would be ready to go off the shelf. Good news is i won't have to buy another thanks to that.

My wife approved this capital expense! She was not too happy about strapping it to her roof rack on the drive home, after finding it would not fit in her car!

I bought a Barrington poker table at Costco in Burbank, California.

 

[Rakrul]

I checked aliexpress as they're made in China and I found two vendors. They're sold for a mere $689 and $732 with only $572 and $865 in shipping to Norway. So for ~$1600 I can get a Barrington table here in Norway!

 

[JackJack]

Has anyone removed the legs and found a way to use it as a topper?

Wow, for that kind of money, I'd get a used Williams or Bally machine.

 

[Hot Nuts]

Always preferred Bally over Williams back in the day. I could control the Bally's flippers a lot better.

Eight Ball Deluxe is the best pinball machine ever made. I could play all day on a quarter winning free games to max out at 10. No one else could get in to play so I'd sell my credits. I'd also make bets on who would win a game. Easy money.

Stop talking and start chalking.

Bally were more classic old-school machines, and the Williams seemed to be more modern (and I always love the center pin in Williams).
Captain Fantastic is a favorite Bally machine, but Gorgar by Williams is my all-time favorite.

 

[Hot Nuts]

I like the old-school machines better like I like old-school chips. Bally's flippers were weighted. The center pin on Williams is cool too.

The newer machines became just too busy for me and more gimmicky with too many multi-balls. I liked Gorgar. The machine I played at Space Odyssey arcade had a bug. Some quarters would go in and get stuck in the side of the coin return. We'd go in and rake out several dollars at a time. I got banned once for it sort of.

My top 4 in order: Eight Ball Deluxe, Xenon (favorite multi-ball), Skateball, Kiss (original). I would love to play The Rolling Stones and Rush machines just for the music.

Sorry, thread is getting derailed. Back to Barrington. Barrington 14.5" Tabletop Pinball Game w/ Metal Balls​

Just got my table setup from Walmart from the last sale. Much heavier than I anticipated (which is good) and seems like it will hold up to the limited use it will see from my game. Learned a lot from this thread and looking to upgrade the cupholders soon.

I was at Costco today and my wife said “no!”

I was at Costco today and my wife said “you should get one. You couldn’t build another that cheap could you?”

I need to go get it before she changes her mind.

 

[hod]

Well.

Pleasantly surprised these are in the UK. Was in the market for a table, and got one of the led ones delivered. Don’t think there’s any other choice of table.

So much better than most of the crud on eBay, even allowing for the aspects with room for improvement -

Cup holders (why put in such narrow and shallow ones at all?)
LED brightness/wire
slightly different heights of playing surface at the fold.

Thanks to this thread if I choose too I can address most of the above, easily and cheaply.

Now to get a custom cloth…

Seems like 1 left in Foster City, CA. It took a lot of self control not to buy it. That and visions of an unhappy wife reminding me we have no room for it.
