Hello peeps

[idchappy]

Howdy everyone

, new guy here, seen some familar names already though lol.

Just started to get into pinballs since i started playing Dracula at another members house, but did play Pinball Dreams alot on the Commodore Amiga

Might be thinking about picking up a machine in the next year depending on how things go with my own business.

Cheers Ian

Ooh, didn't know it was on the iPhone , I got it on the PS3 about a year ago and still loved it.

Unfortunately I'm at the other end if the country and on holiday that week, looks good though and a nice prize too.

Cheers for the welcome guys.

Table wise I have none at present but cut a deal with the wife so might get one next year .

One is only the start of many.

No its not Yoda talking is what happens when you buy your first pinball.

You can't have just one, You will find this out.

This is all too true.

I potentially have a £15,000 extention being built to accommodate more pins!!!

Oh god help me!

+1 I've been looking at moving house to get more room for pins

Or maybe one of those posh sheds down the bottom of the garden.

I bought my first machine in November 2010. Ended up with a 2nd a few months ago, as a christmas present to myself. It's true, they breed!

Welcome



Btw, they do breed. I spoke to Kate last year and she assured me one pinball was enough

What is the gestation time for a pinball machine - you know - from when you get your first to the second? 9 Months??

i only ever have one at a time but change them regularly.

there is however a space in my house with a plan for the future....i just have to let the missus tell me when it's a good idea to fill it.

thats the idea in my head anyhow and i'm sure she'll realise one day

 

[idchappy]

Thanks again for the welcome everyone

, machine wise i guess most would do, quite fancy a T2 or 3 Pinball though
