Afternoon all
« on: May 04, 2009, 03:09:21 PM »
Gday,

Joined a while back and hadn't thought about introducing myself.  Got a party zone the other day. The playfield is in good nick but is missing a couple of plastics.  The cabinet is a bit rough and could do with new decals but i'll work my way through it slowly.  Like most I lived at pinball parlours as a kid and only got back into it after talking to a bloke who had one who told me how affordable it is.  I wont call him a liar yet but don't think it will be long.  I am already looking for my next pin.  Just waiting for the wife to take control and stop me.

Ian

Yep, pre requisite for collecting pinballs is to have a wife on hand to control the urges.

Just don't allow her near the garage  &&

I am allowed this one in the house.  I wonder if she will notice if it does give birth?  She picks up on it pretty quick when I do.

Hi there and welcome aboard.

I am not sure how affordable pinball is, but it is fun.
