Hi Everyone,

I thought i'd join the site as im now hooked on pinball. I bought my first pin a week or 2 ago (1973 Williams Gulfstream) and in the process of buying yet another (pro footballer). I look forward to seeing whats happening on this site and i can already see some familiar names from the AA site. Hi Guys!!!

Hi mate and %)%

I hear you need some stencils for your Gulfstream but it seems it might be easier to put a man on the moon :lol

Gav (Retropin) is your man for this.

Enjoy your time here.

Ian - Dad was one of the first Operators in Australia - early sixties I believe, and he has owned 100's of pins. When I was a child, I saw many, many pinballs pass through the workshop amongst other things. I can recall quite a few of these games, and some of them I remember vividly - like Williams "Honey" and "Ding Dong".. Real classic games..

So I guess I didn't "own" them, in the literal sense, but when another member mentions a game I do recall, it is easier to say" Yep, I used to have one of them", rather than - "Dad was an operator in the old days and we used to route that pin..."

I have probably owned 50 games in my collection, and I have an opinion on just about every game out there !
