Pinhead from way back

Celebrity Sports Center, in Denver, Co, was my idea of heaven. 80 bowling lanes, an Olympic pool, ice cream shops, a bar for the parents, and, of course, 2 rooms filled with pinball and arcade games of the day. The sounds. The smell of EM machines, bowling machines, arcade rifles, shooting galleries, and gigantic slot cars. The idea of a free game from a spare quarter left in a coin return or pay phone. The crazy EM innovations to make shooting games and helicopter and fighter planes just at the advent of PONG and Asteroids. What a blast. Bought my first pin on a whim in 2014 and was hooked. You know, or you wouldn't read this. Hope you enjoy this hobby as much as I do.
