I'm trawling through the bag more or less at random but it still seems to be 1995/1996 that's coming up to the top.
In 1995 I helped the UK Pinball Owners' Association arrange their annual convention and World Pinball Championship at a hotel venue in Lytham St Annes.
We had a fabulous weekend playing the silver ball with a huge number of machines on free play to delegates. I managed to do extremely badly in the competition but never mind!
I had taken two older pinballs from the electro-mechanical age along - Williams' Lucky Ace and their Spanish Eyes machine. Also my jukebox was employed all weekend, belting out early 1960s tunes at top volume!
Happy memories!
Hi, I was at this event and I took some video.
ReplyDeleteI just put it on youtube

It's a bit dark but it's watchable. Is it your jukebox I filmed? Hope you like it.
Nice reminder of the event - yes that's my jukebox, so must have been me opening it for you! Let me just make the link clickable for anyone wanting to see the video:
