Introducing Pinballahq
« on: June 04, 2009, 08:23:51 PM »
Hi I'm Anthony,
I've been a member of this forum for quite some time and after much prodding by Tony (Illawarra_Steelers) I thought that I should officially say hello.

Tony is my brother in law and that is how I became interested in collecting pinballs. This hobby started about 11 years ago when my wife and I decided that we should get a game for our house. I bought my first game, a Paragon, from Tony which we still have. Today, we have around 40 games ranging from the mid 50's to the late 90's.

I'm a professional Mechanical Engineer so I find the variety and the challenge of mastering all the various skills required to repair or restore some of these games quite alot of fun. I'm sure that I could be doing alot worse things with my spare time.

I like the forum content and the friendly helpful atmosphere, keep up the great work!
