Unfortunately I don't own one yet, but I am hoping to get one soon when Silverball's container lands - if not the first container then the second!

ajlaird don't just get one, get two or three now, because it's only a matter of time. you just can't stop at one.

A wise man once told me ;

"It never stops at just one"...

Hey, that was me !!

Lat count, I had 33, and I cannot see the back of my garage anymore..That's a fact !

Bally Paragon - now partially restored.  Will never sell the old girl, in fact it is almost big enough for me to get buried in when I go!

Yeah, if we are having a New Year's Eve party then I would want a couple of pinnies to keep everyone entertained.

Mine was an absolutley mint Bally Dr Dude (1990) purchased from Mark C this year.

Funny enough I was not looking at any particular pin to buy, just the best condition/quality pin that was in my budget.

I have since purchsed a Getaway/High Speed II and started doing my first repairs/restoration.

I don't think I will ever sell the Dr Dude, something about your first pin, and that it is remarkable condition for it's age.

Cheers Angelo

Hi Angelo 

I'm sure I saw that DR Dude - if it was the one I saw - it was exceptional..

Believe it not the first pinball we bought was a Williams 8 Ball,we got it for $10.00 from a church garage sale,it was a bit rough but worked ok,eventually sold it for $400.That was about 10 years ago.
