First pinball ever seen was brand new delivered 1978 Williams Phoenix at a take away shops back room.
Tech set it up n left credits on it. We played a few games. I was 8 yrs old.
The colours of this bright pink cabinet and red plus yellow Japaneese inspired cartoonish playfield was amazing to stare out. It looked like it had come from 20 years in the future.
My next game on a Pinny was 30 yrs later when I started a big collection. I missed out on the good old days that most had but reading everyone else's posts is really fun n interesting. Bought a Phoenix for sentimental reasons. It was a must have for full Resto.
