Greetings to all my fellow pinsiders!

Today is a special day I wish to share with you.
A lifetime journey, now takes a change.
While I started working at the age of 11, My journey took me from delivering Newsday, to manufacturing, and on to LEDs for pinball.

All this, was always one step behind pinball.

At 8, in the black hardcover school books of the 60s,
Id take my #2, and draw pinball playfields, and mail them with a note to Chicago.
I always dreamed Id get a reply and a job offer to be a pinball designer.

Id make them from cardboard and rubber bands, Id have toy pins as a child, I started playing bingo games at the age of 6
on the boardwalks of Rockaway.
I worked at Pachinko house, modded those with bulbs, used LEDs from TI calculators in pins in the 70's, and helped Dick Bueschel with research for Pinball Encyclopedia.

Wow! Thats 50 years!

Well today, I start the journey of retirement, and my first love
of pinball, ends with my love of pinball, and I could not have done this without the gracious support and friendship extended
by you all......the guys and gals of Pinside!
More then just making a purchase, the wild emails, pictures, and joy I have been privileged to share with you, as an old game transforms into an experience like the most joyous of Christmas Tree memories!

The friendship. This says it all.

You have done more then you can know, in filling an old mans dreams.

The journey would not exist, without my Love of my life, Lisa.
It is also our Anniversary today, and we are together for 41 years since meeting.

So the Baton is passed today, with the Sale of Comet Pinball
to Ryan Wanger and Janet Ehlers of Boulder, Colorado.

Many of you will know Ryan, and the steadfast perseverance
he brings. Ryan operates games from Boulder, Co. and is the tournament director at over 30 + events including the Rocky Mountain Pinball Show.
Janet brings a keen sense of business, and a vision for the Company has emerged, as we have gotten to know each other.
I am not only confident of the continued future of Comet Pinball, but equally excited to share this news, and
the direction of Comet Pinball.

Youll be in great hands....better hands.....and a sound future
for all of us in this hobby.

Im not all done yet...Ill be helping where I can, and popping up here in there.

Now is the time to see if I can get better, and my spirits couldnt be higher with all the support and emails received.

My creation now moves to Ryan and Janet, and I hope youll share a heartfelt greeting as they pursue their dreams now too!

Thank you, Everyone! A long day, a Great Dinner at PF Changs with Ryan, Janet, and Lisa!

....Theological Archaeology
or a metal detector at the beach......

Vapes...retirement.....sounds Great, Aurich! Im coming for a visit!

Funny! I have to force everyone else to talk to me! Including my wife!

Inventory counting today........! yeah....! Not!

Time for you all to get to know Jackpot Janet......I hear the "payout" odds are Good!
(or in Pinball, "Suuuuuper Jackpot Janet!)

Welcoming a Lady to Pinside is a rare event!

OK......Its all done.....3 long days of counting, and counting, and counting.....

Ryan and Janet are on their way back home, having just left.

I am available for a few weeks to help with any questions in general, but order specifics, etc, should be directed to them.

It is expected that they will start shipping orders next Monday, and many items, other than 3 and Super Flux, will be back in stock next week. They will need a short bit of time to update.

Thank you again, everyone...not dead yet, but head first now into medical research.

Wishing Ryan and Janet all the best, and be gentle Guys......it will take a bit for them to get into the groove of things,
and the ship sails on forward.....Happy 4th, its almost 7 pm, and Ive done 2 months straight of 7 days to get here.....

Rest......Thank you, Thank You, Thank you...for all the kind words, well wishes, and support.....mostly just being fellow pinhead friends.

My home is always open to anyone traveling to Orlando!

CIAO!

Just down temporarily while stuff gets sorted out

Hey Paul,

You can still order from Ryan, and pick up from me in Orlando, if we can coordinate the meet up.
Send me a PM with your rough schedule of when youll be in town, and Ill do my best to make that happen.

Yup! Its called two internet companies, among the largest there is, blaming each other for not doing the job right!

Crazy calling back and forth, but at least Godaddy, is always on the phone fast!

As Ryan and Janet are still traveling, Please post or PM if anyone has any site issues or send to Ryan and Janet at [email protected].

We want to be sure everything is functioning correctly.

Thanks!

Always happy to help someone named, "Paul"!

Now why arent we both at Pintastic right now?
