Finally getting back to normal!!
« on: December 15, 2009, 02:42:40 PM »
And I'm not talking about Normal, Illinois either. 

As a lot of you know earlier this year, as announced on this forum, I (my company Pinball Inc.) purchased the pinball parts, all the original Williams/Bally tooling and a heap of pinball related files from Illinois Pinball Company aka IPB.  About 1 month into the deal I turned around and sold almost all the parts to a...uh hum... Aussie mob.  After that I spent 5 months in a hellhole dubbed Bloomingidiotown, IL.  So for all that time my poor lil fingers didn't get to do any flippin, except for the occasional drivin finger flippin. 

So it's been over 6 months since I've been able to play my own pins and last night for the first time I got to spend the whole night doing nothing but play.  Well after 6 months of no playing I chocked up a new #1 high score on TZ, GnR, ST:NG AND Gregs favorite...CONGO!!!!

SWEEEET!!!  It was good to be back!!!   $#$  @@*  #*#
The ramp business was very very good to me.

You're welcome Marty, glad Greg could get them to you.  It's a pleasure having him as my exclusive Aussie distributor.  He even got to spend some quality time in Bloomingidiotown....he even got to sit in on the business meeting(s) where the details of the resale to Oz took place.

Normal is overrated, but I'm glad you're back to your pins :)

I'd love a Congo, miss the last one I had, but it was beat to death and someone wanted it more than I did, so it found a new home and I've been looking for one ever since!

I enjoyed visiting with you guys in IL, and my son enjoyed the cookies you generously shared with him!

And my Creature thanks you for his printer kit, which was recently installed :)

I could certainly live with a Congo - I played the one MarkC had and felt that it warranted further investigation.

+1 from me too.  I haven't got it on the machine just yet but Greg assembled it for me which was an unexpected and huge help.  It looks the goods and is going to get one hell of a workout on Christmas Day.

Don't spose you happened to stumble across the die to re-make the WH2O topper did you?
