Fun & Games

#1 Post by Paul Hatfield »

Thought I would share this with the group. I was over at my son's house this weekend working on making some of the generator/fan belts I produce. He told me he had a new addition to his game room he wanted to show me. Wow, a PORSCHE pin ball machine- fully restored. Starts with a Porsche-like key on the front and makes an engine sound when started up. Hope the 356 wins!

He beat me on every time we played. So did the grand kids! We still managed to get some belts done though!

Everyone needs a Checkpoint! Walter from Austria loved it when he stopped by the shop.

Very cool you guys grabbed one.

Mike
I scanned Craigslist for a couple of years to find one close enough to pick up, shipping pinball machines doesn't always end well. I picked mine up near my lakehouse in NH, so it was only loaded once, in the back of my pickup.

My son looked for nearly a year on Craig's List as well. Then, quite amazingly, this one came up about 10 miles from his house. Easy move.
