My pinball addiction began about 7 years ago..

and the odd thing is, it started with me playing a lot of pinball games on the computer, and the real thing I was not familiair with.. and I have to say I never played a real pinball machine before my 20th birthday.. I am 27 now

somehow my interrest for the real deal was growing..

I liked playing PC simulations, and it also made want me find out more about pinball too

I began looking for information on different pinball machines, differend brands and popular machines

within a month I bought my first pinball.. A bram stokers dracula

I was stunned by this thing.. and I really became aware of this fantastic thing

What better than having a pinball machine in the middle of your living room..

after a year orso I sold my BSD and was looking forsomething even more interssesting... I ended up buying a AFM!

wow What a fantastic machine this is!

I bought this one as project machine that someone was not having the time for anymore...

I put new decals on it.. put it back togetter and had it for 2 years

in the end a sold it because it had some really deep tecnical problems and the

repair cost where going sky high..

I then diddnt bouth a pinball for a year.. but really missed it..

Started this hobby again with my father.. and had some free space to put one..

we first bought a getway high speed.. affortable and fun pin..

In time we had a CFTBL , SS , and Totan..

but only one machine at a time..

since a year now we expanded too 3 machines

we now have a WH20 a H2 and again a AFM

I am extreamly happy having a lineup of 3 machines..

and a couple of weeks ago I had a change too buy a afm from a company that still puts pinballs on location..

I bouth this AFM in really good shape for a stunnig price of 2000euros

witch is a really good deal..

and I am very happy too have this gem back in my collection

because I think this machine Is the greatest of them all!!!!
