RIP Raphael
He was a long time pinball arcade jukebox distributer operator in the Paris region for decades.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at his museum (collection) just outside of Paris,
when I took a weekend trip there in 2012 when I working/living in Aberdeen Scotland.
He was very accommodating, even took me out for lunch and a drink.
His specialty was his collection of Gottlieb woodrails, especially his multiplayers
that continued into the EM eras of the 60s&70s.
Prior to me meeting him, I had corresponded with him via email
and worked a few deals for pinball flyers and I even bought a Repro set of plastics
for my WMS Gusher woodrail from him that he had commissioned years ago.
I truly hope his collection can remain intact.
I will try to dig up the photos that I took from the trip to Paris to see his collection.

Finally found my photo with Raphael, when I visited the museum back in Oct 2012.
