Cliify just made my Grand Lizard.........

I don't know if Cliffy is the Pinball Messiah, but his passion for pinball is evident in every product that he makes/sells. His stuff is always of excellent quality, mostly very easy to install, and they n e v e r interfere with but actually improve game play and aesthetics. Cliffy sure is one heck of a nice guy with a great sense of humor and humility who takes genuine pride in what he does for pinball hobby, IMO.

I always install his protectors preventively (if there are any available) on all my NIB pins, or for repairs as needed on my other pins, and the net result is always the same. They work, and it makes great financial sense to use them.

Yeah, I'm knitting him a scarf as a token of my appreciation.

Some might say that knitting isn't a manly pursuit but damn it, Cliff deserves it!

Knowing Cliffy, he would disagree, but I am pretty sure he knows Who is.

If everyone ran their business as well as Cliffy, this USofA would still be #1 and not in a recession.

He is pretty awesome, but don't forget about LTG.

Please leave me out of Cliffy's thread.

I'm just trying to make my little corner of pinball a little bit better.

Cliffy is doing things that will be appreciated long into the future. Long after us. His protectors and what not are saving countless games and extending their survival in great shape well into the future.

So pinball will be enjoyed by future generations.

Good product -I've never had an issue, but don't post any bad experiences with a cliffy on the boards. You'll get the whole "talk to me privately" speech.

Hey thanks Lloyd! There are a LOT of folks who contribute to the hobby in their own way and many will live on as long as the hobby exists. Heck, I even *know* of certain folks who help others behind the scenes who never get a mention and, frankly, they prefer it that way. It's the community spirit that keeps it all going. Robin quietly provides the vehicle and the rest of us get to ride his bus. I say three cheers for Robin, if for anyone

If Cliffy would fly to my house, figure out the protectors I need for my Lights...Camera...Action holes then yes he would be the second coming, but even so he is still a great dude and his products are awesome!
