My mates mum worked in a greasy cafe called "Eats cafe" in south London - in there was a pin that we used to play, was a Wms Travel Time,

Few years later, im sitting in the pub talking to a mate over a beer or 5 and i happen to mention that id love to own a pinball. Mate replied that he had a non working one in the shed and it was mine if i wanted it.
I jumped at the chance! Pinball was a Travel Time but the Segasa version. Got it home and within 1/2 hr had her working 100%. I was happy as can be - mate was really pissed that id got it working and he had given it away.
That was over 20 years ago - i still have the pin in my collection and its by far the best condition pin i have.
me and "mate" havent spoken for over 20 years
