Title: Hey All - Kiss Freak
Post by: wicked on January 03, 2009, 09:12:13 PM
Hey All.
Thought I'd say G'day as I just joined this forum.
I just purchased my first Pinball machine. I bought a 1978 Kiss Bally Machine.
It's in awesome condition and just has the standard wear and tear (paint etc)...
I've been a Kiss freak since I was about 5 years of age and have always wanted the Kiss machine..

If anyone wants to say hello and wants to talk Kiss please contact me.
Also I'll like to learn more about the machine...

Anyway Oooh Rooo for now...

Cheers.

Hi wicked,

Welcome!

You will find a few die hard KISS freaks on the forum and a few closet fans as well.

If you get a chance post some pix of your game!

Cheers

Tony

Apart from the average globe or two going, that I need to get and change.
The Multi player doesn't work... Would anyone know how to make it work?

Thanks and thanks again...

Cheers.

Never get sick of looking at that backglass. KISS were my fave band from 1975 through to 1996 (once they put the war paint back on).

Everytime I see that game just takes me back to just how HUGE this band was during 1977 to 1979.

Just a pity the mighty Eric Carr wasn't on that backglass  !*!

Thanks Marty,
Cheers.
It may have been the same one. I bought it on the 15th of dec from Mark.
Mark is great. He offers great service.
Thanks.

Ilawarra, I know exactly what you're saying and Eric was a fab drummer and bought a different sensation to the band...

Cheers.

That's nice Rick (with a silent "P")

Welcome Wicked - I'm one of the resident KISS fans, and Pinballer as well.. I have a KISS Pinball (in fact 2 pinballs) - both will have new playfields, plastics etc - Everything money can buy..

I've been a fan since I was 7 years old - The first time I heard "Rock and Roll all Nite" on a promo segment on countdown around 1975..I've been a KISS tragic ever since..

Hey Mark,
Thanks champ, not a problem. The machine is working great.
The night I got it, my mate told me he could hear it from the street as he was coming up the drive way...
I've given a 10.30 curfue for me and the Mrs because it's so loud... and I've had my 5 year old niece to my 70 year old father play it...
Everyone loves it...

Thanks again and speak soon...

Cheers for now...

Welcome to the forum.
Yeah I'm another KISS fan as well.
I loved playing the machine when it was on location,
 Back then, if I wasn't filling it up with all of the 20 cent pieces I could get my hands on,  I was playing Dynasty on my mum's old turntable.
Great memories & a great band !!
