Yeah mine was the Rodney Rude pin  :lol

In the early 1980s when pinball were everywhere and real cheap I used to advertise both wanted and for sale in the local paper.

At the time I had a Williams Jubilee for sale - from memory it was $150 fully working - anyways I take this call from a guy called 'Rod' and he wants to come and look at the pinball. See Rodney Rude lives on the South Coast about 40 minutes South.

So at the time I had no idea and this car pulls up out the front and this real rough head is walking up the driveway. He was just a normal fella. I ask him if he was Rodney Rude and all of sudden he just burst into character and that was it! He ended buying the game and taking it away.

About 10 years later I bumped into him again - out of all places Katoomba and remind him I was the guy he bought that game off and did he still have it. He told me no he had given it to one of his roadies!
