Sunday Pinball Questionaire - part 4 - Strangeways

[Strangeways]

Onya Nino - great read

Your love of pinball really comes through in your posts, and now I know a bit of your background it becomes apparent why.  As you have probably worked out I am obsessed with pins from the same era as you, and have the same drive to get dead pins up and running and out in loving homes.  I also share your love of the mighty Paragon now that I own one.  Strange thing was that back in the day I did not play it much because it kicked my arse!  It takes a few hours of playing to get the hang of the shots and the scissor flippers, but once you get hooked you can play it for hours

Tony, you can put me in the queue for completing the questionnaire, but it is a bit daunting as the standard set has been very high

cheers
Ian

The best part of the Questionnaire is that we will hear from everyone (I hope).. A great idea (Well done Tony) !!

I'm glad you like Paragon - it is an AWESOME machine..

I guess you could be next in line, Ian ?
