Hello all,
            My name is Michael and I have just joined this forum. I bought a pinball when I was about 16 (30 years ago) and sold it a few years later for next to nothing.  Just recently I bought a Gottlieb Card Whiz which I am starting to overhaul or refurb. I am very excited about this purchase and cannot wait till this machine is finished!

Was that the card whiz on Ebay from Toowoomba?

Welcome Michael ! Saw your machine on ebay and looked at bidding as the backglass looked in good condition. I have just finished a' Card Whiz' restore and the backglass I have needs some attention. Good to see another EM fan.
