Episode 124 - Solid State Pinball Supply

Tony and Dennis are joined by Nick Greenup and Keri Wing of Solid State Pinball Supply. In this entirely pinball episode they talk about Avengers, JJP, Deeproot, routing games, growing a pinball venue in a pandemic, and play a challenging game of guess-the-fix-to-this-pinball!

Note: Skype had some audio latency issues so there are some strange pauses intermittently during the episode (editing helps but some of the breaks will be obvious, be forewarned!)
