Well just thought I'd post my AC DC Pro story & pics

Like many other worldwide pinball collectors I was very excited when Stern announced in early Jan 2012 the release of the AC DC pinball machine. This title had been doing the rumours for many many years.

On the 10th of Jan I called Bruce at AMD and paid a $1,950 deposit over the phone to reserve a AC DC Pro. He then offered me one of the dozen early sample games that he was air freighting out for the launch party. I decided not to get a sample game and wait for a later production game. I'm now glad I made this decison as the early games had the inserts in the famous Angus face YUK!!. The other reason I decided to wait is that I needed some more time to raise the $4,000 balance.

I must say that having never meet Bruce & the team @ AMD before their service throughout the whole process was fantastic!!  $#$

Well in mid April 2012 my AC DC pro arrived in the 1st container into Australia. The game was shipped within a few days of arrival. Attached to the box was a Lightning Bolt kit that AMD included as an extra.

Why did I purchase this title ?. Its always been a dream of mine to purchase a NIB pinball, I've always enjoyed the bands music PLUS I've allways said that if Stern where to make an AC DC pinball I would just have to have one!!.

This is one hell of pinball, only had 300 odd games on serial # 492 & ZERO faults!! My wife and 4 kids just love this game as well.

This title will remain in my collection for many many years. Attached is a few pics..
