I'm into pinball, and was just wondering if there are any other players/owners here? Games I have right now include a CV, LOTR, and FT. Too poor to afford any more.

    I also love to play pinball, but I'm too poor to afford any. I love it because it is such a simple game, yet so hard; some might say the perfect game...

    And I thought this was for the old Freak Bros comics - Zippy the Pinhead. :cheesygrin:

    I'd love to pick up a pinball machine when my kids get a little older, and would appreciate the sport.

    Yes I'm a longtime Pinhead. I've been into collecting and restoring pinball machines for several years now. I am also a restoration parts manufacturer and make several parts (primarily for 70's and 80's Bally machines). I sell parts worldwide and also wholesale to most of the pinball parts vendors. Marco Specialties is my biggest customer.

    I used to have over 20 pins but am now down to 8 "keepers".

    Here's my 1979 Kiss and 1980 Rolling Stones:

    Here's another pair I'm working on right now (my all-time favorite):

    1981 Bally Eight Ball Deluxe

    24f9xj6.jpg

    352j4ux.jpg

    These pins are some of my "keepers". These two Eight Ball Deluxe machines are two of the finest original examples I have ever seen.

    Not pinball per say but my brother in law just brought this to my wife a couple weeks ago. It was their deceased grandfathers. He's (BIL) had it for the jast 20+ years. I guess they really enjoyed it as kids.
