Title: Every single player GTB from 1946 - DONATED!!!
Post by: Retropin on September 12, 2009, 08:39:21 AM

Had this article forwarded to me - just astounding the extent of the collection.

35 years of collecting mainly woodrails donated to the Pacific Pinball Museum.
 This is the collection of Gordon Hasse... theres also a shot of Steve Young from PBR in there for those interested.
Im not sure it would be possible to put together a collection like this anymore... just reads on.. its an awesome article!

Incredible collection - and very generous of him to donate it (I guess he realised it deserved to be in a museum!).

That's simply astounding. I'd love to have a full time job working on those machines - what a dream !

Fantastic story.
