I can't recall !

The first Pin I have a memory of was a Gottlieb "Show Boat". This would have been in the early 70's.

Most pins I have I "inherited" - The first I "paid for" was a "Future Spa" - I sold it after reconditioning it 7 years ago.

The Shadow,

Just had a game on it.  Dont plan on selling.
2nd Pin I bought, bought it for Dad Williams Blue chip EM

3rd, Elvira
4th, My First EM, Spanish Eyes. (bought Last week) (though in better condition then Blue chip, so the old man might want to trade)
5,6,7 (made an offer on 3 (as a package), but believe one of the 3 has been promised)  so probably wont eventuate.

I'll always remember my first - T2.  Still have him and will probably hang on to it for quite a while.

Card Whiz, it was also the first for Pict (my brother) back in about 1980.

unfortunately it went to the tip in really good condition but not working  ^&^

Wish we still had it.

TZ - I still have it and will keep it.  After putting so much effort into getting it right, it's hard to consider letting it go.  And I still really like the game.
