Anyone own a Pin thats had a brush with Fame ?
« on: April 23, 2009, 03:34:55 PM »
After reading the thread on the Gottlieb Lights...Camera ...Action Pin on ebay that was the one on TV,
 I was wondering if any Members owned or have sold a pin that has had a brush with Fame.
A few guys here Know that I bought my Bally HI-LO ACE from Jeff from The Wiggles
& I know another member here has sold a pin to Rodney Rude, Anyone else have a pin with a story to tell ?

I know of a collector that owns/ed a Captain Fantastic, and Elton John actually played it.

But I want the Timewarp from Home and Away.

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!

Nug has a pinball that was built in Australia.
