Title: Latest Arrivals
Post by: Retropin on September 05, 2008, 05:41:51 PM

Today 4 more pinballs arrived for my collection. Ive been waiting quite a while for these and now they are here?? Well!! They were well worth the wait.

Heres how they arrived

Unwrapping pins is always fun, the pins are here, but im yet to see the actual quality of them in the flesh.

...And im not disappointed, below is a GENCO 1948 TRIPLE ACTION - first machine to have the flippers placed at the bottom - which is standard today.
Also, Wms 1976 SPACE ODYSSEY - i love Wms  machines and also space themed ones, i purchased this one thanks to Illawarra Stealers

Heres a Wms 1961 METRO - condition of this pin is unbelievable - the pf is floorless, not a mark on her. Im particularly excited about this machine. I have been chasing it for a while now - it has a unique feature of a disappearing Jet bumper which lowers into the pf to give a flat surface

Last of the 4 is a Wms 1953 TIMES SQUARE - i just love the look of this pin. Condition once again is exceptional - remember this is now 55 years old. Ill post some more pics of the machines later when they are all set up - this game has some interesting automatic flippers at the bottom of the pf which are used to kick the ball out of a lock hole. Just a wonderful pin to own

With the 4 games that arrived today, i consider myself very lucky indeed to have them in my possession.
Needless to say ...Today has been a VERY good day!!!

Gavin - Awesome pictures... and it seems a few of us have had a great deal of luck adding some rare and beautiful pinballs to our collections. I'm just pleased that they are coming into Australia, for future generations to enjoy - rather than leaving Australia..

I look forward to more pictures !
