Unwrapping pins is always fun, the pins are here, but im yet to see the actual quality of them in the flesh.
...And im not disappointed, below is a GENCO 1948 TRIPLE ACTION - first machine to have the flippers placed at the bottom - which is standard today.
Also, Wms 1976 SPACE ODYSSEY - i love Wms machines and also space themed ones, i purchased this one thanks to Illawarra Stealers

Heres a Wms 1961 METRO - condition of this pin is unbelievable - the pf is floorless, not a mark on her. Im particularly excited about this machine. I have been chasing it for a while now - it has a unique feature of a disappearing Jet bumper which lowers into the pf to give a flat surface

Last of the 4 is a Wms 1953 TIMES SQUARE - i just love the look of this pin. Condition once again is exceptional - remember this is now 55 years old. Ill post some more pics of the machines later when they are all set up - this game has some interesting automatic flippers at the bottom of the pf which are used to kick the ball out of a lock hole. Just a wonderful pin to own

With the 4 games that arrived today, i consider myself very lucky indeed to have them in my possession.
Needless to say ...Today has been a VERY good day!!!

Gavin - Awesome pictures... and it seems a few of us have had a great deal of luck adding some rare and beautiful pinballs to our collections. I'm just pleased that they are coming into Australia, for future generations to enjoy - rather than leaving Australia..
I look forward to more pictures !
