Club Kevin circa 2011

When I lived in Kansas city, Rusty had an unfinished basement. Where others saw a crappy downstairs to be used for storage, I saw a black slate ready to be turned into something fabulous! I started by building a two tier, color changing bar. After that, I hung some truss, a bunch of club lighting, and eventually added 3 pachislo slot machines, two pachinko machines, and two pinball machines along with a VIP lounge and outdoor bistro area. We had some some fantastic parties and even enjoyed it when it was just the two of us. Club Kevin was a lot of work to build, but I never regretted doing it!

Pinball

I’ve always loved pinball, but only played here and there. It was always frusterating to put a dollar or two in a machine and then have all 3 balls gone within 2 minutes. Well, when I was old enough, and had the perfect place for it, I bought my first pinball machine. I was at an game auction in Kansas City where I found Elvira and the Party Monsters pinball! I did some restoration work on it, and then moved to my next pinball – The Adams Family Pinball (which currently lives at my brothers house)

Here is a link to Club Kevin, the previous home of all my gaming equipment.

Elvira and the Party Monsters Pinball Restoration

If you’re considering restoring an Elvira pinball machine, please read over the following tips I have listed. Included below are the little things I found out through trial and error…I hope they help you. The color chart along for paints is well worth your attention!

First, here are some before and after photos for the machine. The playfield was not near as bad as some plafields, but it certainly wasn’t great. A littl bit of playfield stripping, painting and sealing worked wonders.
