Welcome SunKingj, hope you enjoy the forum.

I was also born in the same year, and grew up with pins from the mid-70's to mid-80's.  Then went from then to about 2 years ago with no pins, and the interest literally "blew in" from nowhere.

I haven't really checked out much of any of the U.S. pinball forums.  Other than pinside, any other forums you would recommend?  Thanks.
