That was really interesting. Can't see it happening that often in Australia - but everyone was happy in the end !

Anyone watched the show, its really interesting.
I found it recently and am now whatching it every week, the guys are always finding untapped collections of random gear and they always seem to know what things are and what their worth.

Been watching the american pickers on the history channel over the last six months saw an episode where they found a mint six million dollar man,and also a couple of episodes where they have found pitch and bat style pins as well,great show but i think they pay over the odds a lot.

Been watching American Pickers for apx 12 months but missed the pinball episodes. It would have been nice to see them.

Another great show on the same channel is "Grand Designs Australia" where rich people build huge nice mansions. I havent seen a pinball games room set up yet, but I am hoping sooner or later someone builds a house with lots of pinnys in mind on that show.  ^^^

Series link all the great shows and that way, u never miss a episode.  ^^^ (my wife taught me the series link part - thankyou wife  ^^^ ).

Jesus, I reckon I could carve/sculpt and paint up a mask as good as or better than that in pretty short order.
Just need to find someone willing (or gullible enough) to trade a machine (any machine)

Have been watching American Pickers for three seasons now.
There was an episode real early on, maybe within the first three or four episodes, where the owner had two (or three) EM machines that looked in reasonable condition.
The guys weren't interested...

Just started recording this on free to air now that I have found about it. The kids enjoy the show as well. No pinballs in the episode I watched, but fun nevertheless.
