Another Pinhead - Hello from Gold Coast !


Recommended Posts

Hi ,

 

Quick introduction ....

 

Recently moved to south of Brisbane on the north Gold Coast. I'm originally from Manchester UK but lived in Florida USA for a few years before arriving in Oz over 8 months ago.

 

I've been interested in Pinball machines for a few years now and have been lucky enough to own my one and only pinball ( Scared Stiff ). I bought the machine from an arcade on the Isle of Wight ( UK ) for 500 pounds ( not working ).

After a board repair I managed to get it up and running thanx to the TOP tapes ! I cleaned , replaced all the usual stuff, fitted some upgrades like back board decal, Boogie man mod and skull LED mod. In the end the machine looked brand new and played like a dream, the kids loved it :)

 

As I couldn't take the SS to the USA with me I had to Ebay it :cry I also had a MAME machine that I built which I also had to Ebay. Since then I have craved more Pinballs but never had the $$$$.

 

I have started a new Pinball fund and would love to get back into the hobby soon. My main interest is the 90's Bally and Williams pins. I'm not a big fan of the Saga or Stern pins, that said I like the LOTR pin. My dream pin is a Monster Bash .. like the one Finny done a restore on recently !!

 

Anyway that's a bit about me. I hope to be a regular member of the forum as I've already took time to read ALOT of posts on here and it seems like a great community to be a part of :)

 

Oh .. did I mention I like a beer or two as well ??? :D

Well, being on the Gold Coast isn't too bad a start if you are looking for some nice pins - there is a bloke up the road who should be able to help you out.

 

Or you can come down to Melbourne and check out the multitude of offerings here.

If you want to play 18 pins, pop down to my party near Surfers on the 31st!

 

Look forward to meeting you!
