Hi all:

I started in the hobby about 2005 with my first machine "Silverball Mania" and I have pretty much replaced all the parts that make it work, and it was a lot of fun all along the way, so I got my second game. "Sinbad" then "Spirit of 76" then "Gorgar" then it was so much fun I got a Stern "Galaxy" "Super Spin" bought and traded a "Gottlieb Masquerade" which I wish I kept! Then it was "Gameplan Sharpshooter" and a Gottlieb "Sky Jump" to round out my current lineup of 8 machines.... Love these older titles but hope to add a couple newer ones once I can afford it. All my games are 100 percent and nice examples though so that I am very proud of them!!!

Update to 2013 I now have 22 games in my collection including TAF, HSII, Black Hole, Jurassic Park, Meteor, Firepower, Pennant Fever proto pitchnbat, Space Shuttle, and several more including my latest and first new game ever, WOZ!!! #665. Love having freinds and family over for Pin nights!

Wow you got some great machines- Sky jump, sinbad, super spin, Silverball mania and my Fav. Gorgar. I'd love to find a nice Sky Jump one day, love the older EMs from the 1970s
