The San Diego Pinball Club

Welcome to the home of the San Diego Pinball Club. You won't find a nicer group of people...who like to play pinball...in San Diego ;)

If you like to play pinball, talk about pinball, collect pinball, restore pinball, or sell pinball this is the group for you.

We try to have at least 2 meetups a month with at least 1 being on location as to support the local operators. We need to let them know there are still people who play pinball.

If you are looking for a list of pinball locations please visit the google map that is maintained by our members at: http://tinyurl.com/sdpinball

If you know of any games missing, feel free to post them in the message board. Any tips are much appreciated!

We are always looking for people with collections to host the club. If you are interested please feel free to send me a message. Also if you have a location with pinball or a pinball based business the club is looking for a sponser to help offset the cost of this meetup site.

Hope to play pinball with you soon!!

Matt

Love having local tourneys and even though we had some issues because of events outside of our control, the event still ran pretty smoothly!

"Hello, my name is Jeremey and I have loved Pinball machines since I was a kid. I love that each game is totally random. I would like to learn how to repair these machines and one day own an Arcade."
