Two different sides of the same pinball machine, displaying the effects of UV damage. One side faced the window for 12 years. The other faced the wall.

UV rays break down collagen and DNA in your skin the same way they broke down the red pigments on this machine.

Wear sunscreen; protect your skin!

A photo of the right side of an "Attack from Mars" pinball machine. The reds and oranges in the paint are completely washed out, leaving white and light yellow in their place.

The left side of the same "Attack from Mars" pinball machine, showing its original design, with vibrant reds and oranges still intact.

The December @pinballshoppe.bsky.social Poneke #Pinball Comp trophies were White Water, which included the upper playfield and the secret of the cow. Very cool.

Being Boring - Pet Shop Boys

I only allowed one repeat artist from my #80sTop30 list, because this is my fav PSB song and that's a high bar for their songs.
