I live in Derby and I don't know how I had failed to remember this since my time of joining this community. I am not sure of the time frame as it was a fleeting visit at a time when I was absolutely skint so maybe early to late 90's.
I was out just walking around the area and a shop had opened that was selling pinball machines. I popped in just for a look and I was greeted by a couple of nice guys who told me that they were for sale and that some machines fetched as much as a couple of thousand quid.
This was the first time that I knew that you could actually buy one for your home use but I was married with 3 children and had no funds to purchase even a cheap machine so I duly left and cursed my inability to possess one.
I have done a search and found a picture of where the shop was located and I was wondering if anybody knew the guys who ran it or how long it was there for?
Any information at all really would be great.
I think it was located on a corner of Nuns Street and Mill Street and is the building on the right of this image which is now a Sainsburys Local.
