XMAS IS COMING ! PINS ? ?
« on: September 19, 2010, 07:17:01 PM »
XMAS IS COMING FAST !

Has anyone decided to buy themselves "something special" for Xmas ? A new Pinball Machine, or a special Backglass or Batch $$ of parts for a restore you have been wanting to do for a while ?

Anything special on the Xmas Pinball List ? (P.S- Wive's are not allowed to read any answers given !  lol ^^^)

Hopefully the repro Stern "Flight 2000" playfields will be ready just in time for Christmas. I've waited 4 years, and it will complete the components I need to start the restoration (playfield, backglass and plastics). I'm REALLY hoping to find a NOS Stern "Freefall" playfield for my game. Two very rare widebody Sterns.

Yeh it seems that way sometimes.lol  The money doesnt come easy, I work and save hard for each machine, then I start the saving part all over again each few months.

* My aim is to have a massive games room/bar/bistro,with 50 or 60 pins/machines on a farm with accomodation huts for people to stay in whilst having a "pinball weekend getaway".

The aim is to put them into a venue where pinball enthusiasts from all over Australia or other places can come and play them. The machines are really for other people to enjoy. I just get to caretake them along the way.

I do get excited seeing other people buy machines. The feeling of seeing others adding another title is rewarding as well.  ^^^

I'm hoping someone in Australia sells the new GORGAR plastic sets now that would be a nice Xmas present.

I'd rather a pinball than a Video ! Can't go wrong with a 60 in 1, but keep in mind, even though a table is more compact than an upright, by the time you add the stools, it actually takes up more room !

If you are going to buy a table or upright, make sure it is a CRT display, NOT LCD - They look CRAP !
