Pinball on TV tonight !
« on: February 09, 2011, 05:27:11 PM »
Pinball on TV tonight !

My mum sent me a SMS telling me that there is a show called "The Collectors" and its featuring people who collect Pinball Machines and people who collect Ford Cars.

Apparently it is on the ABC 1 at 6.30 pm TONIGHT.

Check your local TV guide for differing times for different states.

Hopefully it will be worth the watch !  ^^^

if anyone finds the link on your Foxtel/Austar or local TV guide for different states, maybe post the info for that state on here for the other members.  ^^^

In this episode: meet a passionate pinball wizard, discover 1970s muscle-cars, plus banana stickers, dice and more great stories from the Collectors back catalogue.


Think I saw this a while back, and no-one knew who the guy was (but it might have been something else too)

The guys name who was featured on the segment was Anthony Donnelly. Anyone know him.  !@#

He said he had over 350 machines.

A quick segment, but a good one to see someone who loves collecting.  ^^^

He has been on the collectors before, did not see this episode, so unsure if it was a repeat.

I've met Anthony a few times - the last time I saw him was at the pinball expo in Sydney (18 months ago). He used to work for Jason at Pinball Mania, which is how I met him. He stopped working after he hurt his back and couldnt throw pinballs around as easily.

It doesnt look like it's on iView.

It definitely was a repeat; it's the 'best of collectors'
here's the 2 1/2 minutes of pinball - it's about 38mb

Thanks for the link  ^^^ i remember watching that ages ago. only disappointing bit is that they didnt include the interview with him in the studio, which happened after the footage shown, they had him and co host Nicole Warren playing a KISS machine.

I had the whole thing on VHS tape, recorded from the original episode including the interview but it accidentally got erased.. along with another pinball story they had on the show about six months prior to this one @.@ @.@

Heres another story on this guy.

I've met this guy before, he delivered and set up my first pin Gorgar. He's got a vintage guitar collection too. He's a pretty cool guy.
