How did I get into pinball? It is like a virus. It was planted at about an age of 10 years, when my best friend at that time got a pinball for his birthday: Caltain Fantastic, I assume. We played every weekend and for hours. Then it broke - and rather than fixing it, his father bought a new one! Bally Playboy. That was even much more fun. We thought at that time, that it was just a so much better pinball...
Well - no more pinballs for 30 years after this. And then suddenly - one in a youthhostel in 2011. And an auction in ebay - and then another one....
