Hi Everyone,
I just stumbled upon this site while looking at all things pinball related, great looking site so I thought I would sign up.
I am pretty new to the hobby and would like to get my first pin asap. I like the older style ss dmd games mainly but also don't mind some of the newer stern machines as well. I
I have an arcade machine but would love to get my hands on a pin soon...hopefully something not too expensive that i can learn some basic repairs on. Gotta start somewhere I guess.

Good choice with the FT. I have one and love it. Prefer it over top rated titles like TZ and AF.
WW would be another good priced pin to start with.
I can point you in the direction of a couple local sellers here in Brisbane.

I have looked at the gameowrx site and the pinball shed site, both look very good. Are there any others?
Otherwise there might be something pop up on ebay.

Best of luck with your hunt for your first pinball. After your post count is over 20, you will be able to access the trading section which occasionally lists member's pins that are for sale !

Ok thanks for that, will have a look when the post count gets that high.
Othersiwe I will look at a brissie dealer...was looking at the pinball warehouse too but they seem to be pretty expensive...do they sell unshopped games as well?

Ken owner of (The Pinball warehouse) only sells shopped out games, worth a visit to the warehouse as he always has 5 - 6 games on freeplay at the front of the warehouse for customers to play.

Welcome
The guys on this site are very helpful, enjoy your next addiction.
Cheers

I like your style!! No messing about- straight in with a Stern Spiderman.
Not a bad effort for first pin!

Nice choice, just start at the top :D

Great choice for 1st pin, lots of mods now available for this popular title.

Cheers guys, got lukcy with this. I was talking to my brother on the Sunny coast just about random stuff and the subject of pins came up, he said he knew of a guy that had one for sale so he organised a viewing. We rocked over and had a few games( hadn't seen one before let alone played one and was really impressed, I think steve ritchie has done a cool job on this) and made him an offer pretty much straight away.
Luckily for me he accepted, so waiting for a time for my brother to bring it down in his ute. Game On!! *%*

Random talk can get you into all sorts of trouble.
A random chat in the pub 25 years ago gave me my first pinball... for FREE!.. all i had to do was fix it. Was a stunning example of a Segasa Travel Time.
Guy rang me a year or so back... can i fix some machines for him.
A random chat led him to pick up Addams family and Jurassic Park... all for $2000.
I approached him for the TAF, but several days later he had randomly found that he wanted to sell it for $6K!!!

Wow, i like the free pinball for a fix deal. I wonder how many pins are sitting in garages, storage etc, haven't been played or loved in ages and the owners just want to offload them?
2k for addams and jp, how good would that be!!!!! Sell em both and buy a CV or a TOM I would. %$%
6k for an addams ::),I guess somebody would pay that much for one but it sure as hell wouldn't be me.
