Agree. Doesn’t sound like Chris at all. I’m over $17k in my HEP White Water as I know many of you can relate too when you have Chris really trick them out. Was worth every penny to me. It’s a full “experience” (from start to finish) when you decide to have Chris do a game for you. While you are left with the best result money can buy, the process is about more than that.

I think you did a little research you wouldn’t have yapped your trap about something you know nothing about. A “pinball collector” but unfamiliar with HEP? Sheesh

It isn’t unusual for newer people not to know anything about HEP or many other things we are well versed in over time.
I think my first post on RGP almost 20 years ago was bitching about Marcos flat rate shipping charges after just ordering $6 worth of parts.
They ate me alive that day

We all gotta start somewhere.

Good thing you didn't call Steve young without part numbers back then.

LTG : )

I learned about Steve Young in 2005 when I was newb; just before getting seriously into pinball. I was in Poughkeepsie and decided to walk to PBR. I really just wanted to look around and ‘kick a few tires’. Not a computer in sight, just racks and bins of parts. Steve was busy on the phone and filling orders. He wasn’t used to walk-in customers. He took a few minutes and talked the newb! I gained a real appreciation for pinball from a master!

Actually his credentials were better than those of just a regular pinball collector.

He was a "serious collector."

That's like having an amp that goes to 11. It's one more now, isn't it?

Entertaining thread! I've been on here daily for almost a year

Funny as hell smartasses are pinheads! Thx for making me laugh!

I wish there was a better way to portray sarcasm in type. Less fights, more laughs.
