Based in Alameda, Calif., the Pacific Pinball Museum is a nonprofit dedicated to the promotion and preservation of one of America's great pastimes. The museum's annual fundraiser, which also happens to be the world's largest pinball show, was the Pacific Pinball Expo held this year in San Rafael, Calif., October 2-4. More than 400 machines were on display showcasing the art, engineering, and rich history behind more than 70 years of pinball wizardry.

Loved the vid, wished the sound leveling was a little better. Dialogue was indistinct at points.

Ended on a downer, didn't it?

Thanks for this piece James. It brought back memories of being a kid and going to the arcades. Shame they aren't around too much anymore.
