As mentioned in the Letter from the Editor in this week’s Flyer (I’m filling in for Bruce VanWyngarden), last weekend I visited the Vintage Pinball Museum, about 200 miles east of Memphis. What I could not include in that space, however, were pictures of these fabulous games.

To recap from the Editor’s Letter: Doug Moore and Kathy Dunn opened Yesterdaze Pinball about a month ago. The museum includes a rotating display of vintage machines (1940s-1970s) from a collection of 400. A grand opening will be held Labor Day Weekend.

Given that Doug’s first job at age 12 was at an arcade, you might think of him as having come full circle. But, to hear him tell of the chance twists and little bounces of fate, this story has the trajectory of, yes, an in-play pinball.
