I got interested in pinball when I was 14 years old playing at a department store while my mother shopped, the game I played was Traildrive from the early 70's.It was not my first time playing but that is when I became interested!Then in !976 While I was still in school,worked for my Dad at nights and Weekends doing various constrution projects(for no pay to me).Dad would give me  five dollars and me and 2 buddies would go out on Friday & Saturday nights to eat at Mcdonalds and go to the bowling alley to play Pinball for 2-3 hours. We did this for 3-4 years until we started our own familys.Some of our favorite games were Aztec,Freedom,Liberty bell and later on Cleopatra and 8- ball deluxe.We got quite good as we could play most of the night on a few quarters!

  I played once in a great while from then until this year when the Pinball bug bit me again.Home builder by profession kept me busy,then I came across a fellow that had an old Airport Pinball machine in his garage with junk stacked on top of it,tried to buy it but He wanted to keep it.Then I searched the intrenet untill I recently found an old Freedom machine that had been fixed up and I bought it for $400.00,and that is my Pinball story!!
