So while waiting for my new cabinet to arrive I decide to free up some more real estate and look what moved in!
I've always wanted one. :)

Nope, I am a HUGE Pin fan... The only Pin I have right now is a 1969 D. Gottlieb & Company Road Race (http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1971). The machine was given to me at the age of 2 years old from my grandfather. He had this machine in his restaurant that burned down. The pin was one of the only things that was left standing, the paint was a little singed and the glass was broken.
If I could get more machines I definitely would... Cyclone and Twilight Zone are two machines at the top of my list.

Ahhh Cool Guys. I was thinking I was the only one here on this one.
TZ is a great game but can play a little slow at times, really deep rule set though. It has a lot going on for sure! Funny though, I would say it is next in line for me or maybe Attack From Mars. The problem is finding the room... I bought one and already I want another! I have always loved pinball and even though the emulators or great, there is nothing like the real deal!!!
Monster Bash is my favor though and I said to myself if I am only going to get one, its going to be my #1 choice. Shitty thing is I had to pick one that commands the most $$$. =[ I most have spoke to close to 20 people before I found one with a near perfect playfield. Not bad for a 10 year old game. =]

I bought a 1978 wide body pinball of Superman a few years back as a project ....its still a project i can tell you that much . It was under alot of stuff and i could not see all the inside of the machine ( a few wires cut the guy said ) . Well when i got home i realised ALL the wires were cut ... But its still cool to have ...
Oh and i love pinballs !!

Dazz... I will post pictures of the control panel over the weekend but there was some issues with the cab. that I am currently working out with Mameroom.
I would rather not get into the details at this point until the matters are sorted. Hopefully I can have some pictures in a week or so.
Ah man, that sucks... Hopefully everything gets sorted for you shortly.

I have Cirqus Voltaire. But for a pin need too much maintenance. The ringmaster always seems to have problems even after serviced.

I have yet to see or play a Cirqus Voltaire in person but I have played it many times in Visual Pinball which I do enjoy a lot.
What sort of problems do you have with the Ring Master?
