Interview at the Asheville Pinball Museum

Want to add better sound to your pins for fairly cheap? We also discuss adding a powered subwoofer instead of costly full speaker upgrades. Checkout APM's site Asheville Pinball Museum Be sure to check out the CoinBox Pinball Podcast, and their main site East Side Pinball! The Coin Op Hall of Fame grand opening May 23rd & 24th!
