1977 (?) High Hand
Won it in a local arcade competition. I was 13 at the time and there was some angry adults that couldnt believe my score. Highest score for 3 months won the machine. Still remember I clocked it with a final score of 121,000. My first score was 76k in the first month, 3 weeks left in the competition and some bloke scored 80+ odd. I didnt spend a huge fortune but was so glad I got that score. Lucky the operator was there (got my mates to call him) when I was approaching the clocking. A proud moment with my mates when it was delivered and stuck in my room. I remember taking the glass off the first time and it was unreal LOL. Fast forward 36 years and I BOUGHT my first pin - LW3 which is still there for restoration. Going to my first AA meet just gave me the bug
What a great story - post of the week right there!
