Just wanted to say that Viking is in the car in the driveway  

Many thinks to Rick (HIGHSPEED) for getting this pin and keeping me in mind.   I've been wanting a Viking since the day I knew one existed (about 2 years ago).    I was brought up by Canadian / Danish parents - and was always jokingly told that I am 50% Canadian, 50% Danish and 100% Viking.   So, I had to own this pin.

Tough, stressful times for a lot of us - and certainly those still @ Nortel like me - so it was hard to buy this, but I have bought and really hope I can hold on it.

To share in my self-humility, I had no clue it was not chime sounds - great surprise the digital sounds - as it rounds out the mini-theme I want in the gameroom going from wedgehead to DMD.   I now have a wedgehead, Sinbad/BOPP (chimes), Viking, FH, TZ     Second surprise, after I had disconnected all the connectors to load her up, was that the backbox is hinged - DOOH!  

Gotta bug a neighbour in the morning to help drag her in the house.    Tomorrow is Fastlevn celebration (a mini halloween) for the Danish Club in Ottawa.  Great timing.   I know, the artwork is based on a Swedish novel about Vikings, but its close, ...



Thanks and cheers Rick!

well sounds like your going to have loads  of fun.   great machine

Congratulations Doug I'm glad you got it!!

Congrats Doug !

I know how much you wanted that game... It does look very nice
from the pics. Glad you ended-up with it. It was your destiny

(With the complete lack of job security at Nortel these days,
I am sure it made this purchase decision a very difficult one).

Enjoy your new machine !

Cheers,
- Sylvain.

Thanks Duane - Jen & I did it already.   Its setup and love it - great shape, too.   I heard about your purchase, too - interested to see it as I heard its impressive, too.

Man, pinball's a small community, but spread over a great distance!

Congrats Doug! The game looks pretty cool!
AND the backglass has Brook Sheilds on in...not many people can say they have that
