Sunday Pinball Questionaire - 62 - Multiball3

[multiball3]

Earliest Pinball Memory - When I was a young-un in the late 60's and 70's every Friday I would walk halfway to my Dad's work to meet him on the way. We'd then go to the local Fish and Chip shop which had a pinny tucked away in the corner. Old EM with all those bells and chimes, and flashings lights. We'd play a couple of games and eat our Fish and Chips and head off home. Every time I play a pinny I'm transported back to those wonderful times.

What I'm Currently Working On - I'm currently working on a Haunted House resto. I picked up two of these at the same time in fixer-upper condition. It'll take me a couple of years as I have multiple projects on the go. I like to completely rebuild all of my machines and source parts, and rebuild every component. Even cabinets. Redo all the boards and connections, rechrome, remould, etc etc. I've either got too much time or I'm just crazy.

Most wanted game to add to my collection - Currently it is CV. It's not that  I can't hunt one down as there are plenty on offer. It's that I only pick up run down machines these days as the hobby for me these days is about tearing down the machine and rebuilding it from sratch, and redoing everything to mint condition. I'll never find one on these beasts in the average condition I'm after, so I don't think I'll ever satisfy this question.

Best all time bargain - My current best all time bargain are the two Haunted House's that I picked up for $800. Both in the condition that I'm after these days which is average condition so I can fulfill my current passion of tearing them down and building them up again.
