The first pinball I owned was a Williams High Speed 2: The Getaway. Great machine, and I had it out in operation for most of the time I owned it. Did very well for me...

Mine was a Time Warp - took a year to find one (knew nothing about the idea of owning pins or that it was in fact a "hobby"). Luckily scored a nice one and was not totally ripped despite buying from a not so reputable dealer! (Sorry member dealers, I mean the other sort of dealer that preys on newbies, you guys rock!)

What are you after??? All parts are compatible with Williams. Only ones youll have difficulty finding are the 115v coils for the reset banks. I have a couple spare, if you need one, let me know

1978 Gottlieb Dragon restored it got double what I spent on it and put it towards a HS2.  Unfortunately the Dragon didn't really hold my intrest for very long.

Mine was a MINT Gottlieb Buckaroo for $30 in a garage sale - in 1977!

That was the first of about 400 pins!
