Hi !

My name is Andrew from Lyon, in France.

I am 64 and have 30 EM pinballs.

I would prefer 30 and 64 EM pinballs !

The first pinball I played was a WORLD FAIR, I was 7, in 1967.

Bought my first EM, a TARGET ALPHA in 2006.

I was a real estate agent, the pinball was in good condition but out of order, slept for 18 years in the lounge of a customer.

I bought it for 200 euros ($200), when I opened the pinball and saw all relays and wires inside, I thought : "I just lost 200 euros...."

Ten days after (thanks to a French forum) my Target Alpha was full working !

Now, I am retired and I have some rare titles in my collection as :

4 players EM : Charlie's Angels, Solar Ride, Joker Poker, Dragon, Close Encounters.

2 players EM : Space Walk, Gemini.

My collection :
