Never got round to intro but here it is after a recommendation from ddstoy following a purchase from him.
      I'm 51 years old and starting playing pinballs in the late sixties.Grew up in inner west of Sydney  playing at any milkbar/fish and chip shop or snooker rooms  around the inner west and on the central coast.
      Bought my first machine in 1980 "Sweethearts"from a shop on Parrramatta Rd Homebush that had secondhand pins and poker machines.Paid $100.Yes I still have it.Quickly followed by an immaculate "Grand Slam"
      Machines fell into disrepair due to lack of knowledge and money(got married/had three kids)Rediscovered pinball around 2000 when I got online and found clays guides.Also met Nick Feros here on the Northern Rivers who I purchased three machines from and was great with parts and advice(Sadly he was killed in a car accident last December)
      Collection past or present include Sweethearts,Sing along,King of Diamonds,Royal Guard,Sureshot,King Pin,Playball,Grandslam x 2,Drop a card,Pinball pool,Straight Flush,Miss America deluxe(bingo)and Night bomber(chicago coin)
      I'm only really after one more machine a "Rack a ball" or "Bowling Queen" but may buy anything else that that may come along.
      Looking forward to contributing more than in the past.
                                         cheers     Ian

                               

Ian,

Was that shop on Parramatta Road between American Auto's and The Holden Dealership on the Left heading West!
