Hello and welcome to my little pinball world. It's strange how it started - one fateful day in 2003 I was walking an auto swap meet. I came across a gentleman who had 2 machines, a very sad Bally Eight Ball and an older ball bowler. He wanted $300 for either machine - my choice. We talked for about a 1/2 hour and settled on a final price of $200 for Eight Ball. Thus began my new pinball hobby. Oh, the ball bowler? It had a huge snarl of wiring hanging out of the back of the head...little too much for me at that time.

So in the following years while getting Eight Ball running, I've gained a few more toys. Here they all are in purchased order -

1. Bally's Eight Ball
2. Bally's Strikes and Spares
3. Williams Tri Zone SOLD & GONE!
4. Gameplan's Sharp Shooter
5. Bally's Supersonic TRADED & GONE!
6. Williams Firepower SOLD & GONE!
7. Bally's Eight Ball (HUO) SOLD & GONE!
8. Williams High Speed
9. Data East's Time Machine NEW!

You can click on any of the titles above to view their web page and see how they're coming along.

Kinda funny - each of these machines - I've paid no more than a few hundred for any of them and as cheap as $100. Each has or had problems, but none that couldn't be rectified. Most were in great condition, and as of now - all of them work.
