Title: Hello from Long Island, New York
Post by: pinballjoe on May 21, 2014, 10:45:07 am
Hi -
I am an old time pinball tech that started with electro-mech machines. I watched the industry go from relays (bowlers) to electronic pinball (Dynamite) then Pong, Space Invaders , Dragon's Lair, Pac Man and was into it heavy till about mid 80,s when I started with computers.

The brands that I have worked on was Bally, Williams, Stern, Gottlieb, Midway and lets not forget the jukeboxes Seaburg, Rowe AMI, Rockola, Wurlitzer  and many others.

I am getting back into arcades as a hobby as I just picked up a DK JR cocktail table that I am fixing (need a coin box for it).

Thanks for looking
Pinball Joe
