I am actually asking this for a friend, but he has a pinball machine he has been trying to restore. When he first bought it, he was working with a guy who had a shop on Florida Blvd somewhere, but he says he thinks the guy died. He called there a few times and the phone was disconnected and has gone by there but the shop was shut down.

It was build in 1971, its a Knight Rider pinball machine. Anyway, if anyone knows of anyone who works on pinball machines in the Baton Rouge area, I would appreciate information.

I would call Fleur de Lis pizza and ask who works on their pinball machine if it ever goes out.

Or call Gameware and see if they can point you in the right direction.

Celebration station might still have 1. You can talk to their manager.

There's 2 bars in BR that have 1 but I can't think of the names right now.

There's a record shop on Government st that has one, they may be able to point you to someone. Can't remember the name of it, but it's in a blue building kind of near pizza hut.

Tell him to sell it unless he wants to sink thousands into it.

It's probably a Bally Night Rider. "Knight Rider" wasn't created until 1982. I don't recall there ever being a Knight Rider pinball machine but there was a Baywatch pinball machine

Call my friend slippery pete. He helped me move an old frogger arcade game put of a pizza parlor I used to hang out in when I was a teenager. The place was closing and I had the high score on the machine and wanted to transport it to my house. Pete did the job.

So because Pete can transport an arcade game, he can fix pinball machines?

He does more than that. He does stuff with the holes that you use to operate a game. You know the holes?
