I was able to get the pin without your hint. At the moment, I am stuck with Laverne's and Hoagie's parts. I am not able to find the last ingredient, ethanol, for her. In turn, Hoagie cannot assemble his training device.
Viewing post in Any hints how to get the pin?
For ethanol, you need alcohol... this might make it too obvious, but you need to use the coin to get the needed item.
For Hoagie aside from the bowling balls, you need 2 other things... you need to finish Laverne's path in order to get one of those things, and the other is a bit tucked away (I didn't find it until I realized the game has an option to show clickable areas if you press the spacebar). He won't assemble the device until... You also need a suitable place to use it.
