Howdy
« on: April 27, 2012, 09:44:50 PM »
Hi All

I've been lurking around these parts for ages.

First time posting.

I've owed my 2 pins for over a decade - a Flash and a Firepower.

Both could use a bit of work but they're playable.
If I get brave (and finish my Model 2 racing cab) I'd love to clear coat my Firepower.

I grew up playing Flash, Strikes and Spares and Space Shuttle and I'm still drawn to games of that era.
But lately I've been thinkin that a DMD pin would make a nice addition to the family, and a Centaur too!!!

 %)% Scott,

There's plenty of threads to read to help you gain your confidence, and the guys with the 'know how' are always willing to help ^^^. I'm in the same boat as you at the moment, but I'm sure once I start I'll have plenty of help if I need it.

Yeah I've been drooling over their playfields!
Not sure I'm up to the task but it sure would be awesome in the end

Hi all

Thanks for the warm welcome.

After buy my 2 pins over a decade ago, I'm set to buy a TFTC.
It's turned up in my home town at a great price so I gotta do it!

I've always loved the early 80s stuff (mainly williams) but I'm gonna enter the world of DMDs!!!

I'll have to post some pics once its settled in
