Perth Pinball Collectors by RATBAG !
The Perth Pinball Collectors and Restorers had a get together on the 17th June at Mark (elkor-alish) place,great setup ,thanks Mark and Clare for having us you both did a great job,
as usual the rusty balls award for lowest score and the Freudian flip trophy for highest score was up for grabs todays machine was Tales of the Arabian Nights,
Highest score went to Max (pinprick) and the lowest was Mark(elkor-alish).
For a bit of a twist another comp was held on the day,this one was on Getaway but you had 5 balls and the closest but not over to 10m points won the trophy,not the easiest thing to do,
andy (oldskool1969) our newest member got this one.
Pictured is a couple of new trophies added this time around some engraved glasses which where given to andyd and Max and donated by Graeme and Lana

Thanks to Mark & Clair for a fantastic day, great to play some different machines (Banzai Run, Time Machine etc) that you don`t see around very often, all well presented and working 100% - top work Mark. The Getaway comp was a great idea, it had everyone was watching to see who would bust the 10M limit. For those of you that have a Getaway machine, play a five ball game and try to keep the score as close to, but not over 10 million.
Thanks again to Mark for "winning" the Rusty Balls Award and preventing it going home with it`s maker (me).
Good company, good food and pinballs - what more do you need ?

Cheers
Graeme & Lana

ps Happy Birthday for this Friday Mark.

Great write up about what sounds like a great night. Love the $10M idea too - reminds me of 1979 and trying to slot into the high score gap on  Time Warp - became really problematic when we got it to 998,000 odd, trying to get in by 100 or so and not clocking it.
