I was 7or 8 when I discovered the lur of the silverball. Arcades where everywhere in my youth. I remember Castle Park had two stories and pins wall to wall. I spent several years playing what little location pins there were. I meet my wife at a bar that I knew had pins. I came in one day to play and she was behind the bar and 15 years later we have a house full of pins. It wasn't till a buddy got a pin that I discovered you could own these. I've been collecting for 5 years and can't believe how I ever lived before. It's been a wild ride of learning how to fix things. My tastes have gone back to the late 70's which was where it all began for me, and I'm proud to own a Bally Playboy which was the first pin I played for a whole summer.
