CONTAINER NO. 1 (cont)

Well the second container arrived with the back glasses and more headers now we have to play mix and match the bodies with heads and glasses.

Unfortunately a couple of glasses didn’t make it in one piece and one was panthera (damn it).

I am putting up a gallery here of pictures that Nino took of the playfields on the first day and another one of what the factory looks like now.

Nino’s pictures show the bodies as they arrived warts, rust and rat shit included so sorry if they don’t look great but we will work on it.

If any one is interested in higher res pics email us a enquiries@childamusements.com.au

I am not much of a photographer so please forgive me if mine aren’t so hot.

I am sorry people but due to shipping problems the containers were delayed and the ship is now due here on the 12th of of August. and we should get it at the factory a couple of days later

But the delay has given us time to make some room.

HOLY CHIT BATMAN

We Have just found out we have 2 containers arriving on the same day and i think they are both 40 foot ones.

They should be arriving Friday 25th....correction it is due 27th-29th July

There is a mix of old and new and bits and pieces

But one things for sure we will be tired little workers at the end of that day.

There will be lots of goodies for the pinball enthusiasts who like the older stuff think there are a few gems amongst this lot.

Any treasure hunters want to join us to help unload and discover what treasures the containers hold within.

If you want to give us a hand and see first hand what’s there give Mark a call at the factory.

________________________________________________________________

A customer has requested we do a special job for them.

So we are in the process of doing an extreme makeover of a Twilight Zone Pinball.

The makeover includes new decals and the replacement of many parts and some custom modifications not usually done to pinballs.

I have put more details and pictures on the Preparation Page so that you can see what can be done with pinballs if you require it. Jobs like this come at a cost both in terms of parts and labour....but if you love your pinball it could all be worthwhile.

We can do anything as long as you are prepared for the cost and the wait (parts can be hard to find at times).

Go direct to details and pictures of the makeover here
