I am pretty sure I have exhausted sources for finding pinball in Portugal, but I thought I would ask here.
We are moving there in a month, and wanted to connect with people in Portugal (we will be living in Porto).
Please tell them there are people who have machines or at least know where to go to play (even if it’s out of the country but in other parts of Europe).
I was in lisbon in april and found / added the walking dead entry at cave rock in bairro alto. But check pinballowners.com , there are several ppl with some good/bigger collections and enjoy the beautiful country!
Not sure if my reply via email got to you… my email is jonjacobmoon@gmail.com. I don’t often sign on here.
Anyway, where are you moving to? I’m in Porto. Also, what machines do you have? I’m afraid machines around here are rare. I have found 4 total in the Porto area. One is very close to me: an NBA that is in pretty good shape. Two in Cedafeita that I happened across: Star Trek (the new stern) and a Family Guy. Both in okay shape. Also, a street fighter that was unplayable. I am spoiled coming from Portland where machines are everywhere, so it would be nice to connect with someone else who plays. (BTW, the expat community here, in general, is amazing.)
BTW, if you are going to be in Portugal in April, there is a tournament in Barcelona at the end of the month. Its called TBAP. Registration is today (Jan 6th at noon their time).
Right now I have a BSD and a IMDN pro, but I am looking to pickup a few more before I head across the sea. I haven’t really looked into the whole shipping business yet, but the idea would be that since we are already going to be moving over so much stuff anyway, I would likely just purchase a shipping container and then move them over in that.
Nice. Be careful with shipping. I’ve heard that Portugal will charge you an arm and a leg for bringing electronics in. I hear that people ship through Rotterdam to avoid the fees. But we didn’t ship anything, so I’m no expert.
