This building is just a storage building. It was where the remainder of my Father's Amusement Business' assets were left. Imagine the "warehouse Finds" that you hear of in the USA. This was the Aussie equivalent. Originally, under all the video arcade junk, there were KISS', Playboys, Star Treks, Paragon, Space Invaders and around another 30 games which I restored and sold 10-15 years ago. I kept the KISS' etc and they are part of my collection, or inventory.

This building is only temporary until I buy a factory in the Northern Suburbs. There are a few hoops to go through before then, but then will be moved to that location and all set up. I work from my Garage, which I converted into a workshop when this was just a hobby. But I've quickly filled it with customer games and restorations.

Great to hear the Genie is going strong. I'm going to start a full restoration on the last of the three I had shortly !

So you are the one Hans was talking about.......
He sold the biggest collection to "some guy" in Australia, but regreted it and bought a Nip It back the next week after he realised he had no more EM games.
Hans was at my Pinball tournament on last may 18 and told me about this.
Great guy and always talking about the games.
I promised to go to his place sometime in my vacation to help him fix some more games.
Good to see the games getting a good new home and don't end up on a landfill.

When I last spoke to Hans, he mentioned he spent some time with you  ^^^.

He is one of the nicest people you could meet, and hopefully I will be visiting him next year - maybe in time for your next tournament. I will be bringing my toolkit to help him with his games  *%*

Next time you speak with him, ask him about some of the stories of these machines  ^^^
