In this episode of Flip N Out Pinball Podcast, hosts Ken Cromwell and Greg Bone take on some of the most commonly repeated pinball myths...the "facts" that get passed around so often they start to feel true.
Pulling from listener feedback, the conversation covers misconceptions around nudging, maintenance, playfield care, mods, play count, and machine value, while offering real-world perspective on what actually matters. The episode also explores the evolving pinball landscape and why the hobby is ultimately about enjoyment, not necessarily investment.

In this episode, Ken and Greg wade into the most dangerous waters in pinball: restoration prices. From "museum-quality" makeovers to "yeah, we wiped it down," the guys break down why no two restorations (or opinions) are ever the same.
We talk sticker shock, sentimental value, and why some collectors would rather protect their machines like newborns while others treat them like bar stools.
Plus, it's December, which means people are buying pins, selling pins, arguing about pins…and we're adding fuel to the fire by teasing our Holiday Run – 10 Days of Giveaways beginning this month!
