What a great collection walking into your shed would be like visiting a pinball museum [emoji3]

it's not the pinballs - it's the collection of illawarra steelers rugby league memorabilia

 

after redoing the shed have been selling off some very rare, one off items as they were wasted in storage.

 

better to have somebody else enjoy them

It’s with great regret that I need to drop out due to work commitments , going down the bush to do a 6 week country relief after I return from NZ. Have fun guys ! Disappointed I can’t get to this awesome event again.

All the best with your meet Tony.

 

I have been following you for many years and hope to one day view your amazing collection.

I am going to the NZ Pincade for my 9th year in a row now and the missus and kids probably

want me home rather than heading off to another meet as soon as i get back.

 

Cheers and catch up one day.

well the comp game is finally finished - this old girl will separate the men from the boys.

 

just a few small things to do to her and she is fully restored :)

 

take note in the last photo standing next to a gottlieb top card how much shorter these games are.

 

gotta to be the first time a comp has been played on a woodrail in australia?

picked this up a few days ago. think i have a spot to fit her in.

 

may not work 100% but have it working well enough to play.

 

notice no plunger and had dual scoring - one for points and one for runs.

 

going to give it to my adult son who loves and has played baseball for over 15 years..josh is about to move out which will leave penny and i with an empty nest for the first time in 27 years.

That is one of the first machines I played but I'm guessing it would have been Home Run.

 

Funny, I always thought the layout the same but holes in the middle rather than rollovers and the holes could "sometimes" kick the ball to the next hole.

 

I must be wrong because I do remember the vari targets and the ball launch between the flippers and the standups along the top.

 

Is it possible to have seen to many pinballs and they all start to blur in together or is that just a symptom of doing things in life Mum might not approve of ?.:blink:

all falling into place, gamesroom nearly done (though ran out of time to put in a timber floor).

 

just have to tidy it up a bit, have the week before off work so will be getting everything finished up and more work on the house.

 

asking for 2 (or more) people to organise the following: collection of money for pizzas and somebody to run the comp.

 

this way it takes the pressure off me as there is always enough going on.

 

will send out details, address etc over the weekend.

 

looking forward to catching up with everybody, its been to long.
