My father passed on his love of pinball to me. I grew up on Surf Champ and Jet Spin, which my father swore to my mother were brand new. Nevermind the carved initials all over the cabinets. I got back into pinball as an adult and have enjoyed playing all the great games Seattle pinball bars have to offer. I love newer machines, but on the rare occasions I come across an old Surf Champ or Jet Spin, I can't help but drop a few quarters their way. I'm looking forward to finally starting my own small collection after years of delay.

Welcome!
Jet Spin and Surf Champ....just two of the Gottlieb machines Gordon Morrison contributed his amazing art to. He did over 120 pins for Gottlieb and in my humble opinion....was the best pinball artist ever! The guy really rocked it!
I'm "shopping out" a Surf Champ for a gentleman right not!
All the best,
Tom
