Ditto on the thanks for posting - very good read.

The 2400V must have been from the HV section of a Pin 2000 machine, hey?

how about we use the term 'Wagging school' and keep our aussie culture.

I purchased a Bugs Bunny Birthday Bash from Roger Z who appears down the bottom of the article. Roger is pictured last i think ?
Roger was a top bloke and wrapped the machine for me and everything. Small world huh !

[ajlaird]

All of those photos were taken at the Pinball Expo.

I recognise the bottom four (Rian and Michael organised the event, RogerZ was there running a comp, and Jason had pins on the floor - but the Rolling Stones was a "restorer's dream"). I don't remember the top three.

Yeh was definately at expo.. we were watching J Douglas get the pics taken as it was right opposite mine and the AP stall.
The Rolling Stones had been restored... it had vinyl cut out letters on the PF that had a good thick layer of clear over them to try and level off the surface. Apron was cut out stickers also. It went to auction and got turned in from memory but still at a good price for what it was. The RS was a machine to steer clear of if purchasing

I'm the guy with the hurricane, and also with the blonde mohawk at Rollerball's place last night.

They were originally going to run the article 3 weeks after the expo......

Though it's a nice valentines to be photographed with my one true love.
