So I got hooked on pinballs back in the mid 70's...my dad cut a deal with our neighbor across the street who worked as a pin mechanic. We stored the extra games that were not needed to be on location a t the time. So in our basement we regularly had about 6 pinballs that I was allowed to play as long as I was not in trouble...now I'm 45 years old and have been buying older EM games for the last five years. To round this off I'm still in touch with Fred, my old neighbor who is now 70 years old and has 50+ years of pinball fixing skills. He helps me with those difficult problems that come up with these older games. Currently I own Surf Side, Neptune, Pit Stop, Lady Luck (for sale), Solids and Stripes, Royal Flush, Wing Ding, Pin up, On Beam (for sale). On my short list of wanted games I have Doodle Bug or Love Bug and Wild Wheels. I'm located in Woodbridge, NJ Thanks for reading!

Wow, what luck! That must have been awesome to have pins coming in and out of your basement as a kid.
