PHAROAH Williams (USA) In storage, waiting for restoration Game is complete, will be requiring work to electronics. Average condition. I also have a very nice one set up in my gamesroom too.

Thanks for the nice replies Guys.
I have been collecting and restoring machines for some time now, and have been fortunate to buy almost every game that I used to play in my younger days, a definate sign of a mis-spent youth!! The more modern machines were bought so that my children would be more interested, as obviously electronic machines are more of their era. I have to say though the newer games arent really my thing, especially when they go wrong! I am fortunate to own a large house, that is on 3 floors; the top floor is where I keep the main playing machines, and I have my workshop in an adjacent room, so I can maintain the machines easily enough from there. The only trouble of course is that each machine has to be hauled up 3 flights of stairs, but that at least keeps me fit! Check my website: www.classicpinballs.co.uk (http://www.classicpinballs.co.uk) from time to time so that you can keep up to date with my stuff! When I get some time, I'll post a few images of my gamesroom for you.

I have 90% inside the house, mainly on the top floor. My Wife is convinced that one day the whole lot is going to come crashing down into the living room..... The others are in a nice dry storeroom outside.
I've also updated my website today, take a look at the latest restoration job I'm doing: www.classicpinballs.co.uk (http://www.classicpinballs.co.uk) and click onto the 'Cover girl restoration'
