when I was about 9 I can remember playing a pinball game at a bar in Michigan with my dads friend , it was after a tee ball game , in a different town .. we played for quarters and I won the first game .... it was so fricken cool , I still owe Dennis about 9 quarters to this day

I've been in to the mechanics of pinball my whole life , but there was no where to play them until I moved west to Colorado. Erics in Breckenridge .. palyed alot of ball there

I started collecting pinballs about 8 months ago and have spent all my money on them , I live in my friends garage on the floor, ... I have a small work bench and 3 games in the local bar ... I make sure to keep them perfet and I thank Pinside for helping with that ..

I bought a Fathom last week . its in Wisconsen how I will get it out here I will not know ... cant wait to get it
