Thanks for sharing the experience with us, Tony. I would love to do the "Grand Tour", and to visit a "living and breathing" Pinball Factory is something we all would love to see. To be personally met by one of the most important figures in Pinball, and to spend time etc, would have made it a personal highlight.

PHOF is another venue I'd like to visit - Did you take many pictures ?

    Yes ,I'll .post some photos later tonight ,
PHOF was good ,man his got allot of nice pins there .Caught a cab there ,spent a few hours  .Kids wanted to play every pin.
I chatted with the owner on several occasion while we were there ,and after spend quite a few dollars there I asked him if he would be kind enough to phone for a cab  for my family .
Wasn't the slightest bit interested in doing that ,and pointed to the book shop across the drive way and said go there .
I said to him that we feed the pins here and to go over there to ask for a cab wasn't right .He walk off.(what tha)
Anyway the book shop guys were awesome ,wanted to know all about Australia they phoned for a cab, didn't want money so I left $5 on there counter .
