When i was a very young boy,my uncle gave me his old bagatell to play with and that started a thread in my young head,pinball!!My Grandfather retired to the Russian River area 100 miles north of SF Calif.There, at a resort called Rio Nido,just passed Korbells Winery on the river road,is where i did my early work!There was a arcade there in what they called "the center''that had all the early em games by Gottlieb and Bally! I would spend hours playing them,the year was 1956,i was 6at the time! As i grew,my passion for pinball never left me ! Now,i am retired and still play for hours! Thank you for reading,Peace:)
