Hi @pinball, Here's our Spring issue for 2024. I'm sad to report that Buffalo, our resident color-commentator, has passed away. He loved pinball, owning two machines at his store in Cope, Colorado. I begin this issue with a brief tribute to him. This issue, and a few future issues, will contain his commentary. In this issue, he asks, "Is Pinball a Sport?" I also have a classified section in this issue, with a 1978 Chicago Coin "Jukebox" pinball machine for sale. Pinball league event calendars for Long Beach Pinball League, Mile High Pinball League, and Reno Pinball. If your league is interested in being listed in the newsletter, let me know.

This is an interview with Jim Austin. After a stroke paralyzed his right arm, Austin developed the Adaptive Flipper Controller, allowing him to test pinball machines one-handed.
Hey @pinball, I'm very excited to share our last issue of 2023. I have some excellent pinball articles in this issue: - Coverage of Houston Arcade Expo 2023 by AT Gonzalez - Reviews of the hottest pinball games of 2023, including Foo Fighters, Venom, Final Resistance, Labyrinth, and Godfather (reviews by AT) - Color commentary from Buffalo about pinball. Buffalo also has a special offer for readers: come by his store in Cope, Colorado (you can't miss it) for a free game of pinball. If you have any questions or comments for our writers, please let me know and I'll pass them along. Cover art by Anna "Pencilforge" Frohling. 
Some pinball material in this fourth issue: - An interview with Steve Mitchell, pinball repairman in Colorado Springs, and owner of Classic Amusements - A promo for next month's Houston Arcade Expo - The universal power of pinball and blues music
I couldn't attend this year, so what's the news from the expo? New Pin manufacturers? New Tables?
