I have purchased machines from almost every commercial seller in every state over the last 7 years.
Every person I was told to stay away from, I meaningly went and met to make up my own mind and am glad I did.
All the different people were fun and honest and top blokes with great families.
Travelled Australia looking at many collections and got to meet some friendly people.
One of the best times I had was hosting a pinball party with 4 dozen machines and similar amount of people. Watching others faces light up playing all the different titles they had never played before was the best experience yet.
Handing out trophies was fun. Meeting a lot of new people at the various pinball parties is great too.
Getting messages a lot from many pinhead friends from all over Australia regularly is heartwarming because most of us have similar lives and enjoy touching base on everything from family to pinball.
Getting new messages from new people and being able to send someone in the right direction is also rewarding.
Having a good friend who bought in many containers from all over Europe and Japan was a pleasure to be invited to the days where I could see all the treasures.
Pinball is full of good people and fun historic pieces of man made mechanical artwork at its best.
Wondering what machine is coming out next is always very exciting to me.
Watching my 5 year old son play pinball is awesome.
