Well done Tim, your website looks first class, great to have such a valuble resource in Geelong, good luck with the venture mate  ^^^

PS when you get the rollergames going I am going to have to invite myself over for a game, many years ago it was the pin that got me back into pinball and sowed the seed into my brain that I could own a game in my house, haven't played one since  %$%

I have a feeling i'll struggle to part with Rollergames - i had never really researched the game, until i picked it up. It certainly looks like an exciting pinball. I'll let you know when its finished and you'll have to pop in for 'testing'  :lol .

Cheers guys,

el_timbo

It is a great Steve Ritchie design, the only downside to the game, is the music can get a little repeditive, but a cool game, which I have spent many hours playing, look forward to it mate  ^^^ We Geelong boys would be happy to lend our help any time as your restoration testers  *)*

There are alot of us who live in QLD, who think anyone who lives in Melbourne is lucky. (except ya lousy weather  *)*)

You guys have all the big sellers like Mark C, Bumper and Bikecity.

You have alot of resto people, most of the memeber base for the forum,and so on.

Then, last but not least, u have guys like El-Timbo who can take a tired machine, and after some magic, can turn it into a star attraction that any collector would want in their collection cause they are resto'd to look like new again. It dont get better than that.

You guys in melbourne are very lucky indeed. Melbourne is the Pinball capital of the world.  ^^^  



Yeah Brett i cant agree more Melbourne is definetly the mecca of pinball but at least you have Beaky up there in QLD

Well I popped over to see and meet Tim yesterday and drop off my new parts for the T2 complete restoration he is doing for me now.  He has a fantastic setup there and some very nice titles currently underway.  I saw some of the playfields he has been working on and the workmanship is just stunning to be honest!.  Those clearcoats are just wet gorgeous...  My T2 cabinet and playfield are just outta this world!!  Has to be seen to be believed!!  His business is gonna grow very very quickly.

there have been quite a few resto threads El_timbo has done in other sections.

The BEST way to find them, is to click on El-Timbos avatar picture, then go down to the bottom of the page and click on - see members recent posts which will bring up any post Tim has done. That way u can scroll thru and see any threads or posts he has done which will show you the various threads he has done on restos with great bunches of photos !

the restores are world class.

I know Tim has been very busy working on some exceptional machines since Christmas which has kept him flat out. A little birdy gave me a clue about a new resto which will knock everyone's socks off. I hope he does get time to post it here as will be well worth it and setting even higher standards.

Yes, plenty happening at HRP, bigger showroom/restore area, some sensational titles moving through the place. I was there a couple of weeks ago, Tim keeps setting higher standards every time.

He's doing a couple of clear coats for me right now.
