My Collection So Far
« on: November 27, 2008, 10:38:19 PM »
Well, i only have 1 at the moment,  so i cant really call it a "collection" %$%

But its a pin ive been searching for, for some time.  Always good to get the one you want ^^^   

The good thing is, when im drinking beer, it looks like i have 2 ()

I've never seen this machine.. Heard a fair bit about it, but I've never played one..

Nice picture..

Oh, by the way - "It never stops at just one pinball"...

Yeah, it is a bit rare to see one in Aus, most ive heard about are in the states.  As far as i know this is the only one  in Tas.

The light show and sounds are awsome, but its not rated highly for its shallow rule set. It keeps me on my toes for sure sometimes, and i like the darker themes in pins. A game can range anywhere from 3 to 4 mins, to half an hour if your on the ball(so to speak) ::)  But i like a challenge ()

And on the last ball you get the chance to double your score with a double ramp shot!

::) I couldn't bear to put in the garage just yet,  i like to sit and stare at it #.#

The cab has only had very slight touch ups, i was lucky. The BG is in really good nick, which was important to me.  It just had some electrical and plastics issues which are mostly( ill call you soon Owen () ) fixed. Other than that, im really happy with it.

Cool! BTW, a garage is no place for a classic like that - better stay where it is! :)

Great looking pin, I have never played a POTO but would like to after looking at the pic of yours and the pics on IPDB. I only have 1 pinball machine (JD) but hopefully one day I will double my "collection"  *%*

POTO is an awesome game! I used to play one of these to death in an amusement centre in Laurieton (NSW midnorth coast, the amusement centre is long gone now) so i guess i was lucky getting to play it! the game was near new at the time so it was in great condition both cosmetically and playwise.

Great art, great sound and great game play.. what more could anyone ask for?!

Looks great, how did you get it inside?  Must be a single man? :lol  As for it being the only one in Tasmania - Its probably the only PINBALL in tas *)*  Just joking, looks awesome

Im lucky i guess, the lady likes to play pins too!! And suggested we put it in the living room.  I cant argue with that *.*  Ive got my cocktail in there too,  bliss ^^^  No more room for another pin up there though,  so its off to the garage when the second one arrives.
