Well hello Everyone,
Some of you know me, Some of you don't. If you know me Here's your chance to read even more about me and get a cool update. For those of you who are like Who's this guy!? Hopefully you'll find some useful information here about me.
Why Redfive05? Because during the days of AOL, when I first singed up for the internet I really wanted Redfive, But seeing how it was AOL and you could NEVER get the name you wanted I threw the 05 on the back, and the rest is history. Being a Star Wars fan Redfive is Luke Skywalker handle in Star Wars when he is flying his X-wing (I'm sure I didn't need to explain that but just incase someone here was unfamiliar with Star Wars I figured I would clear it up.) I am in no way affiliated with another Arcade/Star Wars fan named RedfiveXW.
I live in New England with my Wife and Daughter. I collect coin op equipment that catches my eye. Mostly Pins and Vids from the 80's to early 90's. But I do love EM games (Both Pinball and Arcade games) My current collection includes:
Pinball: Black Knight 2000, Twilight Zone, Xenon, Fire, Spider Man (1979), and Black Hole
Arcade Games: Tron, Donkey Kong Jr., Out Run, After Burner, Jamma Cabinet, Rally X, Centipede, Tempest, Pac Man, Asteroids, and a 4 Player Virtua Racer Sit Down
All The Other Stuff: 1977 Vendo Coke Machine, Williams Ringer, 1957 Seeburg 101 Jukebox with three 3W1 Wall Boxes, Midway Haunted House, Standard Metal Typer
Other things you should know: I've been in this hobby since I was a little kid, my father collected Jukeboxes and I got the Coin Op Fever. I worked at a local amusement park as the lead Games Technician from 1998 to 2001. The job was fun, but defiantly a labor of love to keep over 300 arcade games for the 1940's to present running. I Run Shoot Again Amusements, and use to have a sizable business doing service calls on coin op equipment, but after a few years of doing service calls I got very burnt out and actually began to hate the hobby. Shoot Again Amusements is now just the face I use for my hobby and when I want to sell a machine or parts. You can check out my web site; www.shootagainamusements.com but bear in mind for the past 2 years it's been in a transitional state.... and finding the time to update can be challenging.
Anyhow....That's Me!

Cool story! Thanks for sharing. I was poking around Pinside to see if there was anyone local and lo and behold I found you are in the same town as us! We've only been in Haverhill 2.5 years. Before that we lived on the South Shore. My husband (Pinside UN = MarkA) and I run Pinnovators.
