First of all, when I joined vac last year I never introduced myself as I didn't see the area for new members to post. I felt a right tool afterwards but better late than never, right? I'm Rory, from Derby and I'm very much old school and remember the silver age of the arcade machines. I used to spend a lot of time at the arcade at Matlock Bath in Derbyshire as a kid. Also, once a year I went on a family holiday to south Devon. I have good memories of the old amusement arcade in Dawlish Warren (sadly now demolished) playing the classic cabs that were there, Donkey Kong, Popeye, Double dragon, Space Harrier Deluxe, the list is endless. This is the arcade that got me into pinball machines and my life long love affair with Williams Whirlwind. I've had a thing for cabs and pins ever since. It wasn't until three years ago that I wanted to own one. My friend has a Mortal Kombat 2 and ever since I've wanted something of my own. This weekend after helping the same friend collect a pinball machine I finally did something about it. I decided to go after a Zaccaria Scramble on ebay. I'm happy to announce that at 08:19am this very morning I won the bid. Hopefully, I will be collecting it this week coming.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and do a proper introduction....it's been on my mind for a while.
