Hello from the West
« on: September 17, 2008, 11:14:16 PM »
Hi all - this is like deja vu all over again!

I am an oldschool Stern fan from Perth.  Played way too much pinball from early teens to my early twenties.  Decided when I was approaching 40 (ouch!) that it was time to get back into pinball and purchased a Paragon.  That was 5 years ago - I now have over 10 machines and fix and sell 3 or 4 a year.  Like others here I get huge satisfaction from bringing machines back 'from the dead' and getting them into homes providing enjoyment again. Hope this forum is successful and hope to make a positive contribution :)

cheers
Ian

Welcome Ian. This time the site was set up on a "professional" host with better software, so we hope it does well this time.

After all, the site is only as good as its members - and I'm looking forward to your contribution  :)

Paragon = My "all time favorite", although I had a crappy half dozen games on mine tonight  :(

One of my favs - certainly won't be selling!  Strange thing is I did not enjoy it 'back in the day' probably because it is such a hard machine to master, but now I love it (although at times is does 'own' me as well :'()

cheers
Ian
