My first machine was a 1956 United Shuffle (Handicap). It was apart and came mostly in boxes.
I spent much time on that machine and learned a lot. I had 3 other Handicaps (still have one) in
nicer condition, but because it's my first machine, it's still in the game room right where I first parked
it back in the early 90s..
As for the first pin, I'll always keep the Grand Prix, and also still have my 2nd (Team One), and I believe
Drop-a-Card was my 3rd which I still have..
