Hi all,
I'm officially out of pinball ownership...for now. My last machine was picked up yesterday. Over the last few months I have sold all of my 6 machines and the shed is now empty in preparation for an interstate move. It has been a crazy ride since I got (back) into pinball about 10 years ago. I started by purchasing a Pinbot from Tim at Hot Rodded Pins in December 2010 which we restored together. Then I bought a Haunted House, Fathom, Black Knight and Black Hole. These were all imported from the US as single machines. Finally I bought a Spectrum locally a few years ago. It took me several years to get them all up and running but it turned into a nice collection.
Many thanks to everyone who helped me along the way, especially Tim at HRP, Nino at RTBB and Ken and Andrew for doing all my boards. Thanks also to those of you who bought my machines, I hope they give you as much joy as I got out of them.
I plan to purchase a Multimorphic P3 when I am settled into my new home, I'm very excited about all the new things that Multimorphic has been bringing to pinball.
I will have some boards, parts and tools for sale shortly, so keep an eye out for them.

Thanks mate. It's good having 3 of your machines here (or there will be when Black Hole get's here this week).
They are beautiful and play very well annd i'm proud to have them here untoil they eventually go to the next person who will enjoy them in years to come.
I'm very happy that there are people like all you guys and gals here who bring these old loves back to life for people to appreciate in future decades.

All the best for the future mate, pretty sure we met at Michaels.
You moving north, south or west?
Great choice on a P3, can I come and play it when you get one? %$%
Or maybe message me when you are looking, If I am cashed up... :pinball:

Thanks Daniel.
Cursed, yes we did. I'm moving to South Coast NSW, welcome to come around for a game when I get one. We should bug Michael for a game of Heist before I go.

all the best mate, know the feeling as down to one only
not selling up and moving, but trying something else.
Enjoy the South Coast NSW - nice area to be
- would also love a P3 as well - Heist looks cool

What is the P3 thing you guys are talking about? Do you have a link?

there is a full sized LCD screen under the bottom half of the playfield, and the top half can be swapped out
so you can have multiple games but only need one cabinet

Thanks Pete, I'll reserve judgment till I've seen one.

Nice, and yes bugging Michael sounds like a great idea!

Thats an amazing collection to let go, but I'm sure that one day you will find the pinball bug again. All the best mate.

I myself sold off three of my pinball machines recently as I had to move north from Sydney to live and didn't have the space to house all six.
I kept three of the best pins Flash Gordon and the Getaway, two set up and Black Knight put aside until I find a place for it to be put back onto its legs...
Thanks to my partner for allowing me to have the space for two games ^^^
Its the enjoyment and the love of the hobby that didn't not want to give it away completely.
