Welcome A Laird from A Laird! I lived in Adelaide for two years when I first got married, so we could have run into each other as Adelaide is such a small town (every time we went down Rundle Mall my wife would inevitably run into people she knew), but I guess we didn't.

Good to see you have got yourself a pinball machine; I see you have caught the bug and already want another one.

On the topic of A Laird's, I do know of another Andrew Laird from Sydney who moves in the same sort of circles as me, and I am sure some Facebook friend requests have come to the wrong Andrew Laird. It is not a real common surname. (The guy in Sydney is not into pinball as far as I know!)

Hi Lenny
Can you remember the names of the EMs you bought and sold in the 80s?

Title: Re: another newbie
Post by: Genie on July 01, 2009, 10:21:30 PM

one was a GTB flying carpet, was in average condition the other couple were grand prix williams? !@#  i think and another couple of horse racing, two i got from a mate who bought them of the arcade owner at Glenelg before magic mountain was built and the horse one (can't remember name of it "something racing"?) from a fish and chip shop at lake bonney in the riverland and the other horse one was derby? which had a white horse on the pinlite, wish i had them now! &^&
