Can ' t remember the thread ' s title about drink holders , but someone and thanks to who ever he is , suggested those folding drink holders on sale at princess auto for $3.99 . We must ' ve been quite a few to go for it , since they were backorder . I got them last week and here are some infos and pics about it ;

The centre holes are for wood screw holes , so they have to be drilled in order to fit a leg bolt . Since it doesn ' t come in line with the leg hole , they have to be drilled in an oval shape , downwards . Also , the bottom platform has to be grooved for the socket to clear and screw the bolt .

The top bolt is kind of a drag to screw since the socket won ' t get in . I had to use a key and screw it in shots of quart a turn  . If some of your pins , like some of mine , have 5/8 bolts , you ' ll have to switch on that one leg for the 9/16 size bolts . The 5/8 will be to big and won ' t get in . So , to those who got them babies , enjoy and ,

cheers !!!

Just buy those pingulp holders. Look way better and they're not that much money. I have them on both of my pins.

Not much money ... if you have a small collection.   Some people could buy a classic Stern pinball for the same price as outfitting their entire collection

You ' re the one who came up with the drink holders ' s thread , right ? I liked the idea and actually looked in the local Canadian Pif Paf for it , but no chance . Then , underachiever came up with the folding model . Considering that i ' m at 6 pins and my max. , space wise , would be 7 , 7x4=$28.00 , OK with me .

Also , space wise , we have to pass between the pins in order to open a window or get to the backglasses and backbox , ratter frequent with ballys . That ' s the reason why i choosed the folding type . most of non-folding model would ' ve been in the way .

Anyway , thanks to everybody that had suggestions . So , everyone could choose the one that fits its needs ...

Great thread !!!

As for a classic stern , in my book , a decent one would cost at least $400 to $500 . So , at $4.00 a poppy , we ' re talking of a 100 pins collection . WOW !!! But i have to agree with you , 'cause if i had , lets say , a collection of 20 pins , I most likely would ' ve gone chasing for a more reasonable model ...

I was referring to pingulps.  $9.95 US (Approx $11 Cdn).

10 pins (1 cup per game) - $110
20 pins - $220

plus tax, shipping etc...

I was thinking anyone with a 15+ games, it is a decent amount of money for some pieces of plastic.  But then again... people pay hundreds for coloured plastics that they stick in their pinball machine that gets hit by flying metal balls?

I think the Pingulp holders are worth the price, I've caught my leg on a few that I have on my games ( moving between the games to get to the backbox etc ), I think the plastic ones would break off eventually. Especially with Claude's/Princess Auto style.... but I guess you could buy and install quite a few at that price and still not reach the cost of a Pingulp. I still perfer the Pingulp style - talk to me after a year or so and let me know how those plastic ones are holding up. I know the type Adam used are flexible, but plastic does eventually break, there's no way to get around it.

Both Adam and Claude still get points for ingeniuity in my book though...

You don't need one per machine, I'd say one for every 2 should cut it, that way you have a holder within arms reach of each machine

I find 2 per machine is just about right, especially when you have about 18 people over and no tables.
