Michael Shalhoub Interview

Oh there is a worse story than that...in 2004 he payed for a container full of games from the US. He was there and helped pack it and flew back to Australia.

The container never arrived 

WTF...Where did it end up?  Bottom of the Ocean or stolen?

Never found out and he lost $105,000

That's just F**ked.

I agree Nino surely someone has to know what happened to a container loaded with pinballs.  A friend of my old man lost a container load of A model fords and parts same thing no one ever found out what happened

Dad lost a 40 footer of pins, EM games and other amusement machines in the 60's because the freight company placed it on a ship from the USA to Japan, not Australia. It was cheaper to pay out the insurance than to send the ship half full from Japan to Australia. The container went "missing".
