Pinball started for me when I was 14 in a Amusement parlour in Ascot Vale Victoria. I was instantly addicted and spent every 20 cents I could get my hands on. I bought my first Pin a Gottlieb Solar City E.M at 15 by doing 2 paper rounds and a catalogue round after school and spent every afternoon with the mates playing pinball. 1 led to 2 and so on the story goes. during the 90s I got away from them for quite a few years and only had 1 which was The six million dollar man and still have it today and 7 others. 17/08/14 I have now added 2 more to my collection but I am running out of space, 09/06/15 Yes I have added another one to my collection, I just cant stop, A Williams Time Warp which I had many years ago and sold, but one came up recently so I couldn't resist it.

Since joining the pinside community I have added another 2 Machines to my collection, Flash Gordon currently being restored, and Sterns Stargazer which is next on the restore list, already have the new backglass from greatwichjohn which is fantastic, and just placed the order for the Playfield he is currently reproducing. Can't wait to see the finished product.
