Birmingham city centre was largely destroyed by heavy bombing in the Second World War, and has both suffered through and benefited from extensive reconstruction since.
This #map was published in 1905 and thus shows #Birmingham well before the bombing or any modern changes.

Attention pinball and arcade fans, my new video post includes a 3 GB zip file full of arcade and pinball scenes from movies and TV. You should probably go download it while you can.
Plus we link the pinball reels supercut, and many relevant YT videos

"Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel, is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from ships (either as part of regular scrapping or shipwrecks) and other steel artifacts of this era, it is often used for modern particle detectors because more modern steel is contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout."

exploring the arcade in The Women In His Life (1933)

on the #prewar #pinball tip, someone posted this photo on the FB group and I love this for storage. These are the primo industrial shelves at your casual stores, with under-shelf lighting.
I would like to move to shelves like this eventually instead of the metal wire shelves, but the dimensions of these hulking beasts doesn't fit well with my current gsmeroom layout. (The mesh wire shelves can have some sag when 80 pound machines sit on them)

I kind of bought a #prewar #pinball machine out of spite?
On #pinside I have almost every prewar pin on my wishlist because I wanted to get any market updates. Guy messages me saying he has a Five Star Final Jr for me in Alberta if I want it.
He sends me pic 1, which seems familiar. I subscribe to the Curiosity Inc YT channel (it's a guy in Edmonton who runs an antique store) and I dug through a recent video, see pic 2.
Pics 3 & 4 are crops of 1 & 2.
