well it is official. i just bought my first pinball machine a few hours ago... appropriately enough.. its called FIREPOWER

thought y'all might get a kick out of that. it has its "character" (my dad said his truck had character because of how beat up it was) not too bad though.. bit of cleaning and shining up enough to make a drill instructer grin, and a few minor repairs to the flippers and bumper rubbers and itll make a fine first machine... and im afraid that like guns, the bug has struck... you cant have just one

the old owner has around 50 machines for pinball and prolly as many in video machines just rotting in his basement.. plus more elsewhere.. said they are buried so im going to be buying and reselling untill A. i can get myself a newer machine (hes got one i want to have as a newer) and B. get a fine new rifle. so comrades, 1 problem is down

now i just need to decide what rifle will be fitting... have been liking the 1887 winchester unless i see another lever action that calls me

. thats all i can report for now. the machine is being shopped and will be done before my vacation from college. so to the pinball shop guy, like the words of those of 'ol " not unlike rommell, i shall return"
-hoo ah

well my capitalistic nature caught up with me. the machine JUST got finished being shopped out today and i played it at the shop... but found out someone else might buy it, so with any luck i will be selling it, buying a set of 2 or more machines with the money i make from that, reselling those, and finally ending up with a awesome machine called "Fire!" which is more fitting for me... im a pyro, its made in my birthyear, it has multiball and ramps. plus id have money left over to keep my business stuff going. i sought to own one, yet shall own many.. irony at its greatest

so if any g&g members decide they want to buy one, apparently i am a good place to look

ill be getting mostly 80s stuff unless you want an electromech.. those are gettable. i believe there is a space mission i can aquire but its about $500, plus i need to make some profit (its about a thou on ebay). huzzah!
