Title: So here I am ....
Post by: nilfisk on July 07, 2012, 06:05:35 PM

Hi,

Just a quick post to introduce myself, since I only joined a few days ago:

I am living about 20 mins from Vienna / Austria, and have started collecting games around 1999/2000 (when RGVAC was the place to be). Back then, it was quite easy to score good deals in Vienna, as quite a few operators went out of business and wanted to get rid of their "junk" :D. Having taken a break for about 4 years now (Kids / House .... the usual suspects ;)), I am slowly getting back to speed and have started to take my games out of the storage again.

Games I currently own (requiring different amounts of cleaning / work after the beforementioned 4 years break):

Vids:

- Atari Pong Doubles
- Atari Canyon Bomber
- Atari Pole Position
- Atari Centipede
- Sega Pro Monaco GP
- Zaccaria Scramble
- Bally Baby Pacman
- Midway Galaxian (VERY rough, never really started with it yet)
- Midway Space Invaders Cocktail

EMs:

- Kasco STAR V Upright (not the cooler cockpit version)
- Chicago Coin Twin Rifle
- Chicago Coin Motorcylcle

Pins:

- Williams Gorgar
- Zaccaria Magic Castle
- Bally Bugs Bunnys Birthday Ball
- Williams Taxi
- Gottlieb Around the World (again, this one is very rough and far from complete)

So, this is it - thanks for having me around here :)

Martin

Hello,

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, I dig my STAR V, even though I'd never heard of it as well until it arrived at my place (I got it out of a bulk deal). I do have the upright version shown in your thread.
