Well, as I suppose it's traditional when joining a forum, I'm here to say hi! I'm old-n00b in that I've owned pins before but alas had to sell my entire collection 10 years or so back. Yesterday I received delivery of my first pins since then. I went for Street Fighter 2, and Rescue 911, both are Gottliebs from the same era, and SF2 has special memories for me as it was the first pin I bought for myself waay back when (although the second pin I ever owned, as I had a Strange Science as a teenager).
So somewhere in my head is a bit of history and experience with pins, yet at the same time accessing it is looking tricky, hence old-n00b
Expect some rookie questions whilst I get back into the swing of things!!!

to Pinball Info @dragonv480 .Hi, My name is Gary Flower, I was Chairman of the Pinball Owners Association in the 1970s and have been writing about pinball ever since. I currently write for Replay magazine (USA) and have also written for Coin Slot (UK), Amusement Business (Europe), Playmeter (USA) and The PinGame Journal, amongst others.
Found some floppy disks recently containing ancient articles. I recovered the attached published in Amusement Business 1996 on the subject of the Future of Pinball.
If there's any interest I could post more articles here.

Definite interest here
Hmm, according to the system i need to post in the newbie thread...
My name is John. I have been into sniffing pinballs for some time now. It first started, with a casual sniff of the side art and rapidly progressed to fingering the coin slots and before I knew it i was sniffing legs and the main cable entry into the machine. It almost cost me my life after drooling on an exposed live part once. If t wasn't for the quick thinking of a passing RCD, I wouldn't be here today. This is my story. Newbies be aware, the obsession grows - one table leads to two, two leads to four... I am in recovery and haven't had a sniff in over 8 months. Manuals help! But I still catch myself leaning in for a quick sniff. Anyway, you are not alone - never forget that. Sniffer, licker, fixer or plain Jane player - all are welcome in the church of the silver ball. Bless you all.

^^^^^Biff the Sniff^^^^ 
Former sniffer if you don’t mind...
I had this too, after my sabbatical, did your post work as mine didn't...
Yup! 
I must have introduced myself wrongly then but there is only so many times I can post in here and say Hello and I not look like a nutter.

Mine didn't work either... But maybe it will after this?
Probably have to create a new thread..
System also saying I need to post in the newbie thread too
Ian & son Dan, I started playing pinball in the bars in French Alps, 1994, whilst being a ski bum for a season!
Check out Dan's website, http://www.devonpinball.co.uk/ if down in the Southwest in the holidays, beer is the normal entrance fee to friends

Hello
Is it me you're looking for?
but not necessarily in that order.
Not sure about that, I can vouch that Lee Buck had over 100 tombstoned...
I always thought I had posted in here previously. But apparently not.
Well now, yes but not then though
