Hi all,
It is a sad day in my Pinball World today as I waved goodbye to the VERY FIRST pinball that kick started my journey into the world of pinball.
Co-founder of my pinball collection, Mr. Sega Frankenstein was removed from my games room and collected by its new owner last night.

The departure of Mr F has left a void in my gamesroom that will need to be filled before Mr F's other family members Mr B. Forever and Mr F. Tales start to get all  !!! !!! .............. Might be time to start the Whitewater adventure or converting them to be part of the the Addams Family dynasty.........  !@# !@#

Anyway, its time for me to go back into the corner and  !!! !!! a little more. Hopefully seeing Mr F Tales tonight after work will make me  $#$ $#$ $#$ .

Yep - They all to move on someday..

I've moved a few pins in my time. Two stand out for me

Street fighter II - Sold on eBay to Damien (Studley67). Didn't know him back then, but SFII was the last pinball Dad imported. It was not on route for very long, and it sat in my gamesroom for years. Contrary to popular opinion - I REALLY like SFII, and it is one pin I miss, but I know it went to a good home.

Jacks Open - My first "Ground Up" restoration. I LOVED this machine - it still is my best work, and I'm itching to do more EMs to this level. It was a proud moment when I did sell it, as it proved to me that there are collectors that are willing to pay for a high level of restoration work (sniff). I do get to play it once a year.

These machines are replaced in time, but sometime it can get a bit "emotional"  !!! !!!
