what do newells, pinballs and Gilligans Island have in common? - encantotom - 09-18-2012

one of my long time things has been pinballs though i have not done much for a long time with them.

i have too many of them.

i finally got a new circuit board installed in my Gilligans Island (1990 same year as my 90 newell).

somehow a message got put on the screen that flashes up once in a while...

have a look.

by the way, the answer to the question is ME.

That is a great pinball machine. Now every time you play does it take as long as a three hour tour? Wasn't that how the opening song on the show went little buddy... Mean Tom?

you can certainly suck up 3 hours playing it before you know it. i am more the size of a giganto skipper....

i just finished a big hurt pinball as well and now have Funhouse and Creature from the Black Lagoon to do.

my son in law took the Star Wars pinball and restored it and did almost all the work on the big hurt. he is a phd in EE, so i guess he is qualified to restore pinballs too.

a fun hobby. better investment than any others i have made. they have gone up a ton in value.
