Gday all
« on: February 07, 2009, 10:55:02 AM »
Gday all .

 I've been lurking on here for a couple of weeks and thought it was time I posted. I've been a member of AA for a few years (again mostly lurking) and have had help from a number of you on and off over the past few years.
Its great to find this site and I'm enjoying catching up with all the info here.
I've been collecting pinnies for a bit over 3 years now and currently have 6 , 4 EM ( Blue Chip , Duotron, Spanish Eyes and Moon Flight) and 2 early SS (Firepower and Tri Zone). I live in North Western Sydney , married with 2 teenage daughters (15 and 13).

I bought my Spanish Eyes from Tony (Illawarra Steelers) last year, my Blue Chip was also originally his some years back.
I also sold another Blue Chip to Mark (not sure of his nickname on here) a couple of years ago.

Like others I expect to spend a lot of time on here as this is where most of the pinball chat/info is now .
Well done to the mods on a great site!

A couple of my missions this year are
1) sell a couple of my pins to make some room for 1 or 2 different ones
2) build a sit down driving cabinet

Gday Tony .
Spanish Eyes is still whipping my Butt!!  ::) . Gotta be the hardest game I've ever played.
I still have to get some new lane guides for it which should dress it up nicely.

Good to hear you are making progress with your resto's of all those old games you have .
Hope to visit you again one day.
Cheers
Dave

Nice collection there - But it is always a shame to sell machines due to space !

Dave, welcome to the NUMBER ONE pinball information source for the Land of Aus!

Not only that, but the active members are all good blokes (except for Mark C, we have now worked out what the "C" stands for    :lol ) Nah, even Mark's OK...

Looking forward to seeing your posts. I imagine with two teenage daughters the safety of the study/PC room is regularly sought?

Mate .. your not wrong there !
I regularly escape to the 'computer room' and my mini arcade  %.%
I am the only male in my house , even the 2 cats are both female  ::)

If I could find the $$ I would build a shed so I could expand my arcade plus lock em out !! , but have just had a major bathroom reno done, plus took the family on a 10 night cruise early Dec 08 , so gotta pay some $$ back to the mortgage before I can spend any more on my addiction  !!!
I need more room ! and more $$$
