My Pinballs
« on: December 04, 2008, 08:56:29 PM »
My collection


F14 Tomcat bought 1998 (my first) $800.00, the Pin I cut my teeth on

T2 bought 1999-2000 I needed a DMD pinball  %$% paid $2000

Firepower bought in 2005 ? for $600 looked like a POS when I found it check it out now

funny bit of trivia is these games are all designed by Steve Ritchie (81,87,91) and are the only ones I could afford or find when looking for a pinball, destiny  #$#, hopefully a Spiderman will be next *)*

I did a big write up on each game then lost the whole post @.@ ^.^, I'm sure there will be time here to go over that later though.

Three great pins - and nicely "staggered" ... T2 has always been a favorite of mine.

Great picture.. #*#

Cheers, for the first Williams DMD it's a great game, good to get the newbs into pinball too  %$%
Something that has bothered me is the height of these games, did they vary the leg length over the ages or do I have incorrect legs on some of my machines #$# when looking at others collections they all seem to be the same height  #$#

Well there you go learn something new every day, my T2 has 31" legs, F14 has 28 1/2 " and FP has 27" going by that guide they should all have 28 1/2"  only measured the front ones assuming they should be the same at the back.
Looks like" I need legs you know where to get them" kind of reminds me of a ZZtop song %.%

I knew we were onto something the other night Ben, the legs on your pins that is &&
T2 seemed a bit tall for some reason.  Then again, it takes you back to being 13 again, and trying to look over the game %.%

Nice high score on FirePower too <..> Have you challenged it yet?? ()
