Pinball fun

I have always had a fasination for electronics since i was a child. I started with my brothers Atari Pong game when he was finished playing it, and got handed down to me. I moved through the eras with a 25 MH IBM imagination station computer that i upgraded on my own at 8 years old. At 9 i went to a laundry mat with my mother and there sat a Tennis EM pinball machine. I dont know the manufacture but i remember begging for 10 cents to play it. She caved and 2 hours later and many free games (much to my delight) I had to be taken away to go home. It was simple and fun and perfect for me that it kept my interest. Later in life a friend of mine bought Gotlliebs Bad girls off of ebay. He told me how cheap he had gotten it as a project machine. Armed with this knowledge i started looking as i had always wanted a pin. I found Taxi in Minnisotaand purchased it, and have finally got enough parts to do a ground up restore. I also have owned and sold quite a few pins and now have limited myself to just 6 machines. If pinball could make me lots of money i'd have a life repairing and playing pinball.... Maybe someday its on its way back..
