New member Mike from Gippsland, Vic.
« on: September 26, 2011, 02:10:29 AM »
Hi,

My name is Mike & I'm from East Gippsland.

I purchased my first pin (Indiana Jones) back in 2001 from a local operator for $1500 (Yes that was the going rate back then)
then the bug bit real hard & I purchased a few more such as Getaway, Whitewater & Judge Dredd.

By 2002/03 unshopped pins were near impossible to buy so in 2003 I purchased my first container from os.
Have pretty much had every 90's WMS/Bally game at one point in time, My collection of pins is single digits these days but I'm looking to add
a couple more either that I've never owned or wish I'd kept.

I haven't done much with pinball for the past few years & have only recently got myself back into working on a few machines
I never got round to finishing.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone on this board.

Thanks guys,

My collection of pins atm includes Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, Medieval Madness, Funhouse & No Fear.
In my collection also are a few Sega arcade titles such as Outrun 2 SP single & twin, Daytona USA 2 twin, F355 twin & Confidential Mission DX.

Looking for a Getaway with a great playfield, The very first one I owned back in 2002 had a superb pf with no insert issues, Wish I kept that one.
The following two Getaways I owned both had insert issues. Wouldn't mind a Shadow or Johnny Mnemonic either.
