Here's a few pics of the pins I've had  Smiley

No decent pics of Flash Gordon as that's currently being restored. I do have some video's up on my Youtube channel of the Aerobatics restoration as well as the ongoing FG one (apologies John if it's not cool to post links to other Youtube channels):

Awesome Pins! Do you do all this restore-work yourself? Those pins practically look brand new! Great Job!  Grin Do you still own all of them, or do you frequently sell?

Thanks dude  Smiley

Yeah I do all of the work myself. I don't own them all anymore as I generally do them up then trade up to something else. My current line up is Addams Family, Dracula, Spiderman, Fish Tales, Aerobatics and Flash Gordon. The only way I've really been able to get games like Addams Family and Spiderman is by trading up from other other games over a period of time as I don't have the cash to buy these expensive titles straight up.

Really getting into the early 80's Bally games at the moment so as well as Flash Gordon I'd quite like to pick up a Fathom and a Centaur.

Thanks John  Smiley

I have been trying to track down a Flash Gordon for a couple of years but all the people I knew had one wouldn't sell Smiley Then out of the blue a mate said he'd sell me his project game for a great price so I'm currently working my way through that. There's a big pin and arcade show in the UK at Easter so the plan is to have it finished to take to that.

Thanks dude, WW was my second ever game and it is awesome. I've no longer got it unfortunately as the need to get more pins took over and it was sacrificed for the Dirty Harry (which is also now gone). One of the best System 11 games ever made  Smiley
