Hi Everyone,
Been having a poke around here for a month or so and thought it about time to say Hi to all.
My names Chris, I live in Perth Northern suburbs and I have met/spoke to a few of you guys before on AA ( Nino, Gav-Indiana Jones, Mark C - met at Chris Chillis meet last year). etc.
I like the easy going format here its seems like a great place to hang out and learn a few things too and help out where I can.
I first played a pinball around 1974 ( probably Card Whiz or Pioneer ) cant remember which one but became hooked instantly.
I started collecting in 2001 when i finally got my own place , but even now in our new place there still not enough room.
I tend to like the Bally/Stern SS machines as well as the GTB System80s but I have a soft spot for the EMs. Would love a DMD machine too.
Collection is:
BALLY - Playboy/Paragon/Viking/6Mill$Man/LostWorld
STERN - Wild Fyre/Meteor
GTB - Card whiz/Royal Flush/ Black Hole / Spirit
I worked in an Electronic shop for years, so do all my own repairs, hoping to have a go at the EM machines shortly and see what makes them tick.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for putting together a great forum, I hope to be able to help out and contribute stuff along the way.
Cheers
Chris

Sounds great Ian, Would love to see your collection of Sterns.
Incidently we have spoken before on the phone when I was chasing a Meteor.
And to everyone else, I want to say a big thanks for the warm welcome here and I hope to be able to help out where I can and hopefully get to meet some of you guys at some stage.
Cheers

Seems to be a great bunch of pinheads over in WA with some great machines ^^^

What are you doing still up at this time Nino ?
Yeah, we do have some great machines over this way, it would be great if some of the owners would join the forum and share what they have.
I can remember some of the awesome pinball parlours we had here when i was a kid, and I just wonder where the hell all the machines went to.
I dont even want to think that half of them probably went to the tip!

No , thats a Gottlieb Spirit ( System80 machine).
I do want a Spirit of 76 though as it was one of my favourite EMs.
Mark C had a whole heap of them in his last container of oldies he brought in from OS, but I wasn.t too flush with cash at the time and of course they all got snapped up quickly, so I'll keep an eye out for his next classic container load whenever that happens.
Cheers
