Title: New guy here !
Post by: MRMRK on February 05, 2019, 05:17:47 AM

Hello All and thank you Jeff for including me to the APF !  I have always liked posters since my younger years and recently have taken into the task of establishing a small framed collection of late 70s and early 1980s posters to supplement my Fortress of Solitude / arcade with three Bally pinball and two Nintendo arcade machines of the same era. So far I have two posters and wall space for two more. A French Grand project is in the works so that leaves me room for another. Any other that come my way will have to go into rotation. Looking forward to learn more about the hobby and of other members fields of interest. Cheers!  Mark

 welcome1 to the forum, Mark.

Gotta love those pinball machines... and with part of your poster collection hanging above them ---  a perfect blending for your 'sanctuary.'

And looking fwd to seeing more of your posters, too.

Pinball are getting very trendy as less and less people are wiling to fix them and it is costly... but pinball are great !!
My buddy has the Family Adams one (not the most sought but still a collector); and before then he had the Elton John one released for the movie Tommy...  the Captain Fantastic pinball (1976) which has a nice story as the designer behind the design of the board went for a daring design, showing sexually-attractive girls with pointed bras... and a few were released until someone noticed it.  They then added stars in the design but funnily, they kind of misplaced them leaving the pointed parts uncovered.  Resulting in, just like Clockwork Orange, into a X-rated version and a R-rated version.

Let me hijack the thread, any movie posters showing pinballs?

Even "Tommy", a movie about a pinball wizard doesn't show pinball
