New Guy in Brissie
« on: January 09, 2011, 11:20:46 AM »
Hi Everyone,

I just stumbled upon this site while looking at all things pinball related, great looking site so I thought I would sign up.
I am pretty new to the hobby and would like to get my first pin asap. I like the older style ss dmd games mainly but also don't mind some of the newer stern machines as well. I
I have an arcade machine but would love to get my hands on a pin soon...hopefully something not too expensive that i can learn some basic repairs on. Gotta start somewhere I guess.

Howdy Cow

Good choice with the FT. I have one and love it. Prefer it over top rated titles like TZ and AF.
WW would be another good priced pin to start with.

I can point you in the direction of a couple local sellers here in Brisbane.
