Well, we got about $4.50 towards next year's beer fund... Chuckles didn't trust me enough to send the money to "friends and family"... ::)

Anyway, here's the doc: https://images.pinside.com/9/e2/38/9e238e1836f09dd804c136203e76700e8d5a87e4.pdf

This is really close to home.  Like really close.  I can 'track down' and return your $4750 if you would like....

I've been saying 'dude' like, forever.  I may also address you as  'man' in a generic kinda way.  But then if you had of attended Zapcon when I was there you'd know this.   :P

Actually that would be pretty cool, ---fudgesicle--- I'd donate to that and I'm broke right now!  Also I'd pay money to her Jen refer to herself in third person.....in person.  Hell yeah.  Of course that would mean attending myself.

   **Fun story** Jennifer was headed there a couple years ago, to surprise you guys  (the year you went,), But only made it as far as Lincoln Ne., Where I wound up buying a xenon pin, and a restored band saw .... Never did make it to  Z/con, as you now know, and after like a week on the road probably it wont happen any time soon.

Well......that's a bit of a shame really.  I think I would have enjoyed meeting you.  The meet up was as much about the people as it was the games, maybe more so for me.  I have no clear view towards next year's Zapcon.  Some things I'd like to do though, in no particular order:  Restore what I've broken on the forum.  Take a road trip in the USA to see it from the ground. Hang out with the Arizona boys and girls again.  See my BYOAC bros again.  Bring a surprise with me. Drink PBJ's home brew.  Just some thoughts.

I'm not creating a new thread for this, so...

As you'll recall, I lost a good chunk of change on a Predator pre-order. Anyway, before I lost that, I pre-ordered an Alien pin from Heighway Pinball in 2014. Over the years I paid in full over $8k for an LE machine. About this time last year, the face of the company, Andrew Heighway, left the company and a hand full of investors took over. I didn't like that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, so I requested a refund. It took over 3 months to get it, but I think I was the last fully paid refund they made... back in September. Well, now the company is being liquidated... Feel like I dodged a bullet. Moral of the story, kids... Don't pre-order ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Article about Heighway Pinball: https://www.pinballnews.com/site/2018/04/26/heighway-pinball-faces-liquidation/

And now he's trying to scam Australians out of money on a Hydrofoil venture that I'm sure pinball money was used to start up. The timeline of him buying that boat lines up perfectly when I was asked to pay the remainder of my balance as the pin would soon be shipped (which was a lie)... https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/andrew-heighways-new-australian-hydrofoil-venture

That game looked fun as hell and complete, I didn't realize those weren't in production when I heard the news. 

I was almost afraid to ask, but I'm damned glad to hear you got out of that one. 

And I'm hearing there's problems with Dutch Pinball, too?

I haven't followed that one as closely, but those guys had major issues even years back. Well... more unhidden ones anyway...

Eh, just make sure it's in front of you before paying for it and you'll be fine. ;)
