Going to start a thread to post each and every update I make to Credit Dot Pinball. I thank you in advance for your support. I appreciate every click to http://www.creditdotpinball.com!
I'll begin the thread with today's interview with Kristin from Mezelmods, makers of top quality snake fangs and donut shops.

No excerpt for this one. I will only tease with the title itself, and share that Clay Harrell and your very own Pinheadz Podcast co-host Rod Cuddihy are featured contributors. Also, its a subject near and dear to both Australians AND Canadians! Enjoy!

Strangeways:
The container story is an interesting one. There has been quite a few private imports over the last few years, and the majority of these guys find out how hard the work is and give up. One recent guy new to pinball claimed he had multiple containers "on the water", but they never materialized ! Of interest is the "Americanism" that container pins are junkers. Pinballs are the same as any other electrical device that ages. They need work. It is the skill and dedication of the restorer that defines the end product. Scrubbing out serial numbers to hide the fact they are "re imported" is one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. I wonder if a TAF that was put into a container and rail shipped across the USA will play better than a TAF that was put into a container and sent to Europe ? Both are container games, and who cares if the serial number is not a domestic ? Does the domestic game play any better ?
Brunswick Brawler:
I would say a machine with details removed, to avoid it being identified as an import, has less value that a machine with its HISTORY in tact. They all come out of the same factory.
What am I doing - with buyers in mind, I should be selling the idea that imported pins should be of less value!
spiroagnew:
Thanks for the replies, guys! Glad I could inspire a bit of discussion. Any port in a storm really, as long as the game plays. I have a Demo Man I bought locally with 230V markings, and it plays fantastic. Could care less if it was a re-import. Ah, if only these games could talk...
