Pinkid's Pinball Page
Pinkid's Kid- Like father like son. Trystan- 6 1/2 yrs.- Spring 2004.
For several years when I was in Jr. High and High School and into college, I recorded/listened to/collected Old Radio Shows from the 1930s-1950s. I have a collection of over 800 Radio shows, and have been working on transferring this huge library onto CD. I will be making copies of these CD available for purchase as I compile them.
If interested in knowing what I have available, please check out this new page:
(For machines previously in my collection, please visit this page:)
1950 Williams 'Dreamy'
I worked out a barter deal with my friend Craig on this game and picked it up on June 11, 2002. This machine will take a bit of time and work to restore. I'm looking forward to seeing how this game plays!

D. Gottlieb's 1973 "Big Indian"
My dad had had this machine since 1979, and is the pinball I grew up playing with. He let me have it in July, 1999, and I went straight to work cleaning it, replacing parts and tuning it up. It is now in perfect working order and is in pristine condition. I enjoyed working on this so much that I wanted to pick up another machine and wound up with a package deal I couldn't turn down- a 1973 Gottlieb 'Pro Football' and 1975 Gottlieb '300'.
My dad is selling his home and getting ready to retire. Until he settles down and decides whether or not to ship it out to Arkansas, I will be taking care of it.

Williams 1967 "Arctic Gun"
I recently worked out a deal of repairing 3 games for a client in Modesto, and in return, will get to keep several games, this being the 1st that I brought home. I will have more pics and info on this game when I have time to update again.
Williams 1964 'Grand Slam'
I picked up this machine In Sept. 2005 from a gentleman who had bought it to restore and never got around to it. My Dad had expressed interest in having a Baseball game, so I picked it up and will give it to my Dad once I have it restored...

D. Gottlieb's 1975 'Fast Draw'
I worked out a barter deal with my friend Craig and picked up this game on Dec. 26, 2002. (Christmas present to myself!)It had a lot of internal fire damage to the wiring and the cabinet artwork had been painted over, but overall, this game was in good enough condition to make it worthwhile to restore...not to mention it is a fun playing game!
I completed the restoration and had the game up and running fully functional on Nov. 5, 2003, after 11 months of work! This pic was taken after the restoration...I still need to do some touch up on the backglass, and will post a new pic when that is done. Even better, I would eventually like to get a new or great condition glass to put in the machine!
To see more pictures and read more about this machine,
Week of 9-8-03: Repainted cabinet to original artwork! To see pics of the new paint job, please visit
Week of 11-3-03: Finished the restoration of the wiring and machine is up and running! Please visit

Last Update: March 11, 2007.
3 years before this website was created, I was exposed to and embraced Christian Celtic art. I have continued to draw over the years, and decided in the last update to change the look of the site to reflect this other interest. Please feel free to email me your comments. I do appreciate feedback on my site. Keep flippin'!
