lee posted up on pinside last night.

 

not only are lee and gordon great guys, they make the highest quality products.

Great products. Sad to see them retire but I wish them all the best. Hopefully someone else can continue to make the plastics and decals.

[Ballywannabe]

Sheeeeeet, that is a huge loss to the pinball community. Was always nice to buy an aussie made product and the quality was always top-shelf.

[Boots]

That a big hole left from that

[thejudge]

Great products, have used their services many times, they will be missed.

I guess we all have to retire at some point.

[furballx]

Quite a loss. Such a shame to see a quality business close up shop.

:(

[Crafty]

Bugger. Glad I ordered for Close Encounters last year.

 

Hopefully another business can take up some of the slack?

[kimbleseven]

CPR sell some plastics and pinball resource do as well. As for the decals maybe Carson can help out?

[micky]

I have only just found out about these guys. This is a massive loss for all of us who love pinball and locally made products.

[Mr Pinbologist]

Well that sucks.. that'll be a pretty big loss for the pinball community :(

I remember meeting Lee top bloke when he gave a talk on how to restore your pinball at Brisbane's famous Mega Meet .Ah those were the days .. All the best fellas ..

[Railways]

Yep Nick. That was when I first him too. Also the first Pinfest where they both attended with the best stall and smiles to go with it.

 

Great fellas and will be sorely missed from the pinball parts supply scene. You guys have been a true asset to this quirky hobby.

 

Good luck for the future and all it brings.

I got a few tips from that same meet / class. Shame to see those guys close. Everyone has to slow down sooner or later though :confused:

[goodolddays]

Wow ... best of luck with your new adventures Lee and Gordon . :D

We all knew that one day you would close the doors, but its still sad that time has almost come .

I will be sure to place my last order ASAP

[illawarra_steelers]

lee has mentioned they are fast selling out, so if you need anything, check their web page and place an order

[Railways]

I remember picking Lee up from sydney airport to go look at a caravan that was for sale. Fun day out. :)

 

[kimbleseven]

If they are shutting the site down in June I wonder what they will do with the remaining stock

That's the idea of announcing it now, hoping to sell of as much as possible to those of us that genuinely need the items for our games.. What remains will most likely be offered to a reseller as a packaged deal. In support of Lee and Gordon and what they've done for us over the years, giving so much time and energy to the hobby, I sincerely hope all their stock sells out.

Wow sad day for pinball when they close

might be worth putting in one last big order just incase something is needed down the track especially with the apron decals

Yeah, some pretty good looking Roosters at those meets Nick :)

[Pinballer]

That Mega Meet was a beauty. Unfortunately the Hangi was a dud and Stu had to rescue the evening with the trusty Barbie. Lee put in a lot of effort in the lead up to that meet to making sure he had a number of practical examples to demonstrate restoration techniques and brought along a few products to sell.

[Rob1966]

Ok I finally put in my last order for some Gottlieb apron decals I really don’t even need them but who knows down the track, I’d rather have them and not need them than need them and not being able to get them.

if anyone else needs anything I’d get in quick as when I spoke to Lee he said stock is dwindling down pretty quick and they haven’t got much of the decals left

[Nick64]

A bloke on a job site i used to work with years ago said to me , better looking at it than looking for it . that has stuck with me . i got some things off Rescue before they shut down as well.
