hello I am 69er from mid Cheshire in the UK .. a veteran pinball owner with over 40 years experience in fixing/restoring/servicing pinball and in fact all types of amusement machines
I have in the past been and still, self employed as an owner - operator in the amusement industry and also employed by one of the biggest pinball distributor sales / operators in the uk in the 1980s/90s as an engineer
in that capacity I experienced many of my favourites brand new as I serviced them in pubs and on motorways (Jurassic park, Indiana jones, Addams fam, Twighlight Zone etc) some of which I have owned at home
I have owned over 100 tables and still have several, one of which I still have sited on just 10p play OWNED IT SINCE almost new in 1978 (e/m made in 1977)
I was a PINBALL OWNERS ASSOC member from 1980 -2008 and currently also visit UKVAC forum and what was Jamma plus where I regularly helped with technical stuff .
Maybe some of you will know me already from there ? I have decided to use the same user ID as those forums and may be able to help owners on here with my knowledge, parts, manuals etc. if available
I consider I have had one of the best occupations a pinball enthusiast could have and although not so avid collectors as years ago, my wife and I both still enjoy a good silverball challenge.
some people I have met and conversed with say I should perhaps be on here ….. tho they say that too about mpumecca to me ? I think I do probably belong in this group and will see how welcome I am?
