Title: Hello from Sydney!
Post by: jatoospry on August 10, 2013, 02:23:58 AM

Hello there!

I am 25 and live and work in Sydney in IT.

I am a relatively new convert to pinball, I was brought into the fold through The Pinball Arcade ironically (I assume most would be familiar but its a "simulation" if you will of various pinball titles). It eventually led to me becoming obsessed with pinball and buying my own machine! I picked up a WHO Dunnit from my old Boss that was taking up space.

Ive had it for a week and its now sitting three feet away from me mostly stripped with parts everywhere as I do my best to restore it to its former glory. In retrospect as I sit here sore and gradually starting to worry if I have documented the process as completely as I should have I do wonder if I should have been a little less eager to start ripping apart my first machine! So far I have spent more time ordering replacements bits than I have playing it.

I look forward to hanging about and hopefully learning a thing or two.

Also I may have already introduced myself to the odd vendor here and there as I have been emailing people promising them my first born for a Who dunnit center ramp :)

Welcome and good to see that you are already off to a start with your project. The title you have is best described as a 'gem' so look after it well. WD is very highly regarded by people who have played or owned them. You have joined the right forum for the best help.
