JUNE GIVEAWAY EXTRAVAGANZA!!

Please Support This Week in Pinball

Hello!  My name is Jeff and I am editor and creator of This Week in Pinball.  First off, thank you so much for reading this site, and thank you to all of you who have sent emails and feedback, you all make this site better.

As the site has grown, I am spending about 30+ hours a week on it.  It doesn’t seem that long because I enjoy it (except maybe to my wife…should I tell her I’m planning to start a podcast with a pinball celebrity in the coming weeks?).

I started this website because I love pinball.  As it started to grow, I knew I’d eventually have to monetize the site to keep it sustainable.

My total income so far on this site is $0.00.

I am humbly asking for you to consider supporting TWIP.  Help us keep the lights on here with a one time donation, or even better, a monthly donation (see below).

$5 a month would be a huge help to This Week in Pinball!

Oh you’re not gonna be swayed to contribute that easily?  Well maybe THIS will entice you!


We’re going to start doing LOADS of monthly giveaways!

Thanks to our very generous sponsors, we’re going on a mission to do the most giveaways the pinball world has ever seen.


Two ways to enter

1.    Consider making a monthly donation via PayPal.  Your email will be captured and you’ll automatically be entered each month you make a donation.  Your contribution will help support this website.

[wp_paypal button=”donate” name=”My product”]

 

2.    Donate nothing, and send an email to thisweekinpinball@gmail.com to let us know you want to be entered, and include your name, address (including city and state), and email address, and you’ll be entered for that month.  You’ll just have to send the email every month to be included.

Please Note

Here is the bad news.  Unfortunately, we had to limit it to the United States, and also need to exclude New York, Florida, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico.  Including those states or other countries was prohibitively expensive and complicated.  We’re disappointed too.  Sorry!!


The Giveaways

We are going to do a batch of giveaways every month.  Below under the “June Giveaways” are all the giveaways for June (that is pretty straightforward, right?).  Before we get to the June Giveaways, I want to give a teaser for some of the huge giveaways we will have down the road.

Pin Stadium Lights (~$300.00)

Welcome to the future of lighting for your pinball machine. Pin Stadium light’s patent-pending design brightens the entire playfield and adds dramatic flasher effects to your pinball machine. They provide seamless integration for your pinball machine while maintaining that factory look all with an easy install time of about 15 minutes or less. Your game no longer needs to be left in the dark and these work on any pinball machine thanks to our quality engineered game specific kits. Whether you are a purist wanting a little more natural looking light or a modder wanting to blow away everyone that plays your game. You dial them in with the app to exactly what you want. Our custom design and Pin Stadium specific LED PCB boards and chips are exactly what you need!

Titan Universal Silicone Ring Kit ($40.50)

Change your machine over to Competition Silicone!

This Universal Kit comes with a wide selection of the most common ring sizes.  There are enough rings in the kit to change out most standard pinball machines.

Our standard kit comes with the following:

50 rings total :

  • 4 – Flipper Rings  Choose 2 colors (2 of each)
  • 5 – Post Sleeves  Choose 2 colors (2 and 3 of each)
  • 4 – 3/8″ OD Mini

These next generation pinball rings are made from specially formulated silicone that provides a durable, easy to clean, vibrant replacement for standard pinball rubber. Our Competition rings are resistant to UV light and less susceptible to drying and cracking, giving them a much longer lifespan than traditional rubber.

All sizes and colors of Competition Rings are engineered to provide the classic feel of red flipper rubber (Shore A45), allowing you to change colors without compromising game play.

Make your machine look and play its best with Titan Competition Rings!

Comet Pinball Two Double Spotlight Kits ($39.98)

Add a spotlight kit to brighten up dark areas in your machine. These are designed to attach to the slingshots and add extra lighting to the middle of the playfield, but can be used in other places as well.

This kit can be ordered as a single (includes one socket and reflector), or a double (includes two sockets and two reflectors). Both are shown in the pictures.

  • This kit includes everything you’ll need:
  • Two 1 inch long hex post/standoffs in each of the two standard sizes 6-32 and 8-32 (so you can build a one inch or two inch high tower for your spotlights)
  • Reflector cone
  • Socket
  • Two bulbs (select your color above, one is an Opmax and the other is a 4SMD with no lens)
  • Two matrix quick connect bulbs (one bayonet, one wedge) to power your spotlights
  • Wire and alligator clips (if you decide not to use the quick connect)
  • Zip ties
  • A nut to tightly secure the spotlight from swiveling from side to side
