Hello all from Downunder. I am a huge pinball fan living in Australia. Just found this site and thought it looks like a good place to join. Hoping I can contribute to the forum. I will post up some pics in the gamesroom section.
Cheers Gav

Hello all from Downunder.
Just found this site and thought it looks like a good place to join.


Admission is one "schooner" of VB or XXXX for each member  !

(...that's a pint of beer for you poor folks who've never been DownUnder )

Just one question though...

Does the ball drain at the Top of the Playfield when you're in the Southern Hemisphere ?
(you know,  being upside down and all... )





Welcome aboard...

Steph

How hot is the collectors market in Australia? From the amount of information posted from there and the prices, it would appear to be quite popular.

When I was in Melbourne there were two shops (at least) that dealt with game rooms (including pinball). When I was talking with the manager of sales at Bumper Amusements he mentioned that a fair number of aussie homes (esp new builds) have game rooms in the design. This helps somewhat in the sale/resale of pinball but it is more oriented to fooseball, billards and such.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Tha Aussie market is thriving at the momemt, we pay more for our pins with A-list titles generaly going between $4.5 to $6K and B-list around $2.5k. We do have lots of collecters over here and in my state we monthly have meets at each others houses with a group 15 to 20 pinheads where we get to play each others pins and talk some crap.

Welcome to the group mate.  I fell in love with pinball on a backpacking trip through your country.  IJ had just come out and tournaments, etc were all the rage.  Was a great time and a great country!  

PS - I won the high score on the Gold Coast but the machine had messed up and just kept spitting balls out.  They would not give me the trophy
