WELCOME TO MY PINBALL WEBPAGE!!!

AKA:  FLASHBACK TO THE 70's & 80's

I hope you enjoy the photos of my current & past collection!  My story is very simple.  I am 33 years old today, however the pinball fascination  started 23 years ago.  I (as most kids did) would mow laws and do odd jobs for extra $$$ to spend at the local arcade.  Now that I look back on it, it seems like a trip to the local arcade (for a child) could easily  be compared to a modern day trip to Vegas (for an adult).  You walk through the door and are immediately hit by the sights & sounds.  Suddenly you lose track of time, and of course a clock can't be found anywhere..... (at least, I told my parents that there were no clocks)

Well for me, I have always been fascinated with anything coin-operated.  My first pin was purchased off of EBAY back in 1999.  My wife & I drove  4 hours to KY to pick it up....   Now I am looking at approximately  50 pins later and still growing. Fortunately my wife hasn't sent me packing.  I think she was more upset with pin purchases #5 through #10, after that she gave up and realized that the HOBBY is now a part of my life!!!!!  From time to time she complains that our "Family Room" (which contains 13 pins and two video games) has been destroyed.....  However I like to remind her that the presence of the games in our home is a sign of "Marriage Security"...  If she ever comes home to find that the games have been moved (to an undisclosed location of course) then  I've probably hit the road....

Enough rambling for now, below are some photos of my current collection......
