CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE BIG THANKS TO AP
« on: June 21, 2010, 07:50:35 PM »
Well ive kept this quiet for a while now but a childhood dream has come to reality since i got my first Pinball machine i followed around a local Pinball Tech in geelong thinking how great it would be to be a pinball tech.

  I even took his advice and enrolled into an Electronic Deploma but due to teenage pregnacy i had to pull the pin on that and get a real job.

  Thanks to AP and Ebay i managed to meet a great guy Named Mark C and through the crappy machines id purchased from him and my restore threads on AP im guessing he seen my potential with what i turned them into and offered me a full time job as one of his Techs.

  Sadly i was unable to take the full time job as the travel would have been to much im now working for mark as a part time tech rebuilding his machines in my spare time.   Im learning plenty and enjoying beeing part of his team.

 So a big thanks to Mark for giving me a go and to AP for such a great community.
