Just wanted to say a public THANKS to Art from Comet pinball... I was looking EVERYWHERE for a decal, and not only did he dig one up for me, he sent it to me for FREE!!! I love when pinheads help each other out, Personally I have sent out parts to people like this, so nice to have someone do it for me.. there are a LOT of great people on this site!

Thank you Art!

And I LOVE the pop bumper caps with led's all around them I ordered from Art, and the mini led strips, I put one under the apron and the LED caps in T3, they look amazing!

Meh, he's alright.

I've been to Art's house once, his office twice (where I got to poke around in jewelry and LEDs,) and treated to BBQ dinners twice. He's the first Pinsider that I met, and I think I saw him three years in a row at IAAPA or Free Play, but will have to miss this year.

Art is a class act. Not only do I consider him a friend, but he has also won my business for life.

He is on the short list of people that I am willing to invite into my personal life.

Looking forward to seeing Art in a few days! He was definitely a big encouragement and source of knowledge to me when I entered the hobby last year.

Art is the man. It's nice when a great product has a great guy standing behind it. Long live Comet Pinball. Best LEDs going.

You just entered the hobby last year?!? I had no idea.

I've been trying to convince Art to come up to SFGE this year. Several rounds are on me!

great products and service, but it might be my dyslexia kicking in, but I was reading his handle while talking to another Pinsider and called him Oldguypin. (maybe a Freudian slip) implying he's a old guy that likes pins rather than a guy who likes old pins.

Art takes a genuine interest in customer satisfaction. He has spent a LOT of time with me as well...educating me about his products.

Customer service that is 2nd to none.

OK, Thank you, but I cant take this.....I really am a grumpy old bastard that loves pinball.

Maybe if I bring up religion, politics, and throw some boobs up, the post will implode!

Thank you for the kind words. Getting Our games looking as good as we want has been my goal.

I love to see the pictures, and I am grateful to meet some of the best people in the world.
Pinball is about that to me...One day, maybe Ill share the whole story, but in the last few months, and especially the last few weeks,
Pinside, and you guys has kept me going....for that no amount of thanks can truly express my heartfelt feelings.
