Grew up in the little town Eaton Rapids located in Michigan. Shortly after graduating from high school I entered into the U.S. Air Force and after 5 1/2 years, I transferred into the U.S. Army. I spent the next 29 years of my adult life in the military. 11 of that in the National Guard and 19 plus years as an active duty Soldier. I retired in November 2016 as a First Sergeant and moved down to North Carolina.

My pinball experience started about 7 months ago when I was given a Bally Strikes and Spares pinball game that didn't work. Since I had done IT and electronics/Signal in the military, I was able to look at the schematics and fix the Strikes and Spares pinball game to almost 100%. Since then I have acquired a couple arcade games (Big Buck Hunter "Shooters Challenge", and Big Buck Hunter "The Call of the Wild"). I am selling those two arcade games, but my love is pinball machines! I have mastered the Bally Strikes and Spares and am now looking to expand my collection. What a blast it is to have an issue and look the schematics over and figure it out via trouble shooting. My Bally Strikes and Spares is in fairly good condition to include the playing field, back glass, and all the electro-mechanical/lights, etc. I just bought an Alltek Lamp Driver board to enable me to go LED on a good portion of the game.

Looking forward to more pinball machines and challenges of fixing/restoring them to share with others!
