The Broken Q on Hazeldean also had a Who Dunnit last time I was in there a month ago, it was fully shopped too so the elevator shots were working accurately.  Had 8B until I lost it ALL on the Roulette wheel.  Finished with 120 M   I Remembered why I got rid of it

Why don't the local operators come on here and advertise the locations of their games? Gotta be worth a few bucks.

I talked to Geoff yesterday about this very same subject.  He has been meaning to register here and update this thread for a while.  I told him that we have been taking care of the for him but that he should still post the loactions he has in the Ottawa Valley ie. Arnprior, Pakenham, Renfrew Etc...

Merivale now has a Dr. Who (elevator toy doesn't work, makes it VERY boring), DM (same as before), and a Tee'd Off (didn't play it)

Yeah that Dr. Who Howieson has has seen better days.  Man 3 Pins at Merivale, looks like the locations are drying up if he is putting 3 in one place   Geoff had a nice Dr. Who in Uncle Bucks when he first got that location, I think I got tendonitous in my left arm from hitting that loop shot repeatedly, fun game but it really starts to hurt after 40+ left flipper hits in a row   Almost got that exact machine but the tendonitous made me rethink my decision.  Jim's is coming down in price so you never know though.....

So I was on Merivale this afternoon and decided might as well drop in to the bowling place and play some pin. What a letdown. Dr. Who desperately needs a mechanical overhaul, and can't be heard over the blaring crappy music. I played one game, realized it was impossible to get multiball, blah. Demolition Man was out of order. Someone was playing Tee'd Off, it looked filthy but mostly working, however I didn't wait around to try it.

Sucks to hear the DM at Merivale bowling lanes is busted, it was actually playable.

IMO, the only worthwhile pins in Ottawa to play on route are those operated by Geoff.

Here's the list:
Uncle Buck's Pizza (Kanata, off of the 417): Ripley's Believe it or Not (I really like this game), Simpson's Pinball Party (works great, but the garage sometimes gets stuck halfway)
O'Connor's Pub (Kanata Centrum): No Fear, South Park (so I've heard, haven't been yet)

There was also a dirty Dirty Harry at Local Heroes on Bank Street near Billing's Bridge. It was quite playable, but impossible to hear.

I agree.   Geoff could use locations - so if anyone knows good locations - and can make an introduction I believe Geoff would be interested (vids or pins)....

Cool I added those to the Google Map. If I had known there was a pin in Almonte would have stopped in long ago...
