My First post - introduction
« on: April 30, 2009, 12:16:20 AM »
Hi,

Been lurking here for about a month now and thought its time to introduce myself

My name is Paul, I live in the inner west of Sydney & have 3 pins STTNG, TZ & CV. I also have a Sega Astro city with 1000in1 (which I want to sell soon) and a bartop cab running MAME

Starting with my first pin (Hit the Deck) when I was about 15, a few years later I sold it and upgraded to a Hulk pinball, Asteroids tabletop, a Time Pilot and a Uni Wars which I ended up siteing at a mates dad's pub - by the time I was 25 I sold them all and travelled overseas. The lure of the pinball remained with me and I always said to myself that when I get a house I'll fill it with pinballs. Well i've got my house, 3 pinballs and I reckon space for 1 more

You've got an excellent site here and you'll hear more from me later as I do have a few topics I'd like to discuss ..... hope to see some of you guys at the Expo

cheers
Paul

Welcome Paul. You'll feel right at home here :)

Hit the deck eh?. Pretty rare machine. A non working one sold on eBay a few months ago for around a grand if i remember correct.

Cheers

Gday Paul and  %)%.

Looking forward to your discussion topics .

I too thought I only had room for 4 pins at one stage, but funnily enough actually found room for 6 , currently have 7 so a bit overcrowded right now  &&

I've got a STTNG, TZ & CV - all of which are keepers. Space for one more & I'm thinking of an 80's SS type pin as its more to my era of what I grew up with and might be a bit simpler for quests to understand

Welcome to the site and thanks for introducing yourself.

Sounds like a very nice little line-up there: not sure what you would add to it - maybe a classic SS like an Eight Ball Deluxe?

Might bump into each other at the expo as I will be there for the whole two days.

Welcome Paul, glad you like the place, and best of luck finding that "last pin".

Yeah, right - you'll find space for more I bet!   &&
