Hi from Currabubula NSW
« on: June 16, 2015, 11:03:33 AM »
I thought I'd better introduce myself.
I'm a Hankin pinball collector from Currabubula, 30km south of Tamworth NSW.
I have an Empire Strikes Back that took me 15 plus years to get going, a Howzat that I'm currently tidying up and I'm building a Shark from parts and a newly built cabinet.
Cheers Trev.

It doesn't hurt to ask..

G'day Big Trev! Welcome to Aussie Pinball, you've come to the right place!
You might want to checkout what Homepin is upto with Hankin parts as well. I'm pretty sure I read he was going to repo all of the Hankin coils soon. I'm sure there a a few other members here with spare parts to help your Shark project out too. Good luck with it anyway.  ^^^

Welcome Big Trev!  $.$

Homepin has a lot off the boards reproduced too.

 %)% Big Trev. AP is a great forum with more info, help & generosity from members than you can believe. I think you'll really enjoy it. Cheers, Andy.
I enjoy Porsche, Gibson LPs, Bally-Williams & learning about pinball maintenance & restoration.

Hi Trev and  %)%.
Hankin, hmmm. That is as close to Aussie Pinball as you can get. Good luck in your hunt.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Yep the dream is to get them all.
Just the Orbit1 and FJ to go.
I'd prefer something that needs a little work to keep the price down a bit.
Cheers Trev.
