It was in the SciFi Museum in Seattle for a while, until he got in an argument with them about the Hall of Fame and demanded it back. :makepoint:

Forgot to resize...my bad! I fixed it. There's a bunch of crabby :censored: on this board! A simple PM would suffice! I'm kinda new if you didn't notice! :mad:

 

 

Don't take it so personal - I give that pic out to most everyone who puts up a super-size pic. I actually thought it was funny that the large pictures were being hosted by "tinypic.com."

 

;)

Well I don't know if I would consider this collecting yet, and I'm surely not in it for investment reasons but I'm gonna try out a new hobby I've been tinkering around with for the last year. I watched the documentary "special when lit" and it sparked my interest to give pinball a try and I ended up finding it quite enjoyable. along with being fun, I find some of the machines beautiful to look at honestly. I just purchased my first one which is being shipped across the country, I should have it in a few weeks. I don't know if anyone else on these boards shares my interest in pinball but I just thought I would share anyway. Here it is.

Stay cool, Daddy-O.

 

I loved that pinball when I was younger and worked at an arcade/pool hall. Played it all the time.
