Great vids, swinks and a top effort overall. Your genuine passion for the hobby is without question.  ()

Did you take any of your product along to the Pinfest (mirror blades etc)? Or did any of the machines set up have your blades installed?


Thanks mate, much appreciated and like you said did it for the hobby and the reward was seeing all the kids. A few guys from work went with there kids and hearing their stories of what their kids thought made it a very special reward. The last reward will be seeing SIDS getting their cheque and keeping them above water longer.

As for blades, nah did not worry about it, just wanted to look around, play and enjoy as it was my first ever meet / show, so it was a great experience just to soak it all in.

As well it was great to meet some of the guys behind the Forum names: retro, home pin, millsy, graham (owned bingo machine) who took the time to educate me on this incredible machine, geoff (enjoyed his twister - love the spinner on this better than the Xmen)  and a few others that their names have escaped me - already. A shame we did not have a chat goodolddays as remember seeing your shirt and was going to introduce myself but every time I saw you on the Sunday you were on a game and unfortunately had to leave by noon on Sunday, same as Mr Pinballogist and Pinpal and probably a few others that I have forgotten but going off the photos remember seeing your faces. Next time.
