Hello
« on: February 19, 2009, 01:15:08 PM »
Greetings fellow pindudes, I'm new to Aussie Pinball, but not to the hobby/obsession.
I am a collector of 90's onwards machines. I am also a pinball restoration artist of some renown and a pinball kineticist. When I get organised I will post some pics of the elaborate pinkinetic that runs around one of my games rooms and into the adjacent one. Enough braggadocio - most people think you are full of it anyway, unless you at least produce some pictorial evidence (coming in next post)
I must say what a fantastic organisation Aussie Pinball is - a real boon to enthusiasts!
Cheers for now.
Maxwiz.

Hello Creech

I do many aspects of resto, from full p/f strip & swap out to touch ups. My forte is painting missing/damaged artwork esp. if no decals, ovelays &c are available. My favourite work is finessing p/f's prior to being two packed. Fortunately I was an aspiring artist in a former life which helps bigtime. I also knock up custom cards, make "unobtainable" plastics, fabricate metal parts and generally try to do the improbable. I also enjoy doing the mechanicals - doesn't everybody?
Very rudimentary on the electronics, but luckily I've got plenty of techie mates - we scratch each others backs and sometimes I even LEARN something (old dog etc).
More soon.

does this mean you run balls from one machine to machines in the next room, as an attract mode?
